What in the world????

Hey Everyone!!!!

There sure has been a lot of poop/gas/burp talk on here lately so I am not going to talk about any of that today.

You don't have to thank me....because the following might make somepeople feel a little ill.

I was engaging in one of my favorite pastimes....browsing on ETSY...sigh...me love.

Not everything on the site is beautiful and fantastic...there is definitely some questionable items but I came across one shop that I just HAD to post about.

No...I will not put the name of it. Its bad enough I'm posting pics of her creativity with nasty comments. I'm not going to completely throw her under the bus. Not my style...

So with my heart full of joy and looking for a gift to buy for myself ( its been a hard summer so far...but you already know that)

I stopped dead in my Internet surfing tracks when I came across this shop.

I think why it stood out so much to me, is that people actually bought this stuff and posted feedback on how much they liked it and couldn't wait to wear it to a bridal shower/party/or date night. Hmmmm. ... is all I have to say.

OK, OK...I will get on with the pics!

First up...

front




back

I don't think this dress above will do anything for your hips...just sayin'

2nd pic... Btw..the italicized blurb under the pic is what the designer wrote about the dress



this dress has a pleated bust made of yellow satin to represent the sun, the bodice is made of light blue satin to represent the sky and is quilted with flowers and has some yo yo flowers attached, the belt is green satin to represent the grass and is also quilted, the skirt is brown satin to represent the soil. This dress is a halter and is a size 10.


Sorry ladies, the above dress has been sold:(


3rd pic...

front



Back
The lady who bought the above dress said she was wearing it to a baby shower.
A BABY SHOWER??? Who wears something like this to a baby shower??

4th pic....


this is a very comfy and soft dress, it is a size 16. This pattern has won an award and is very original(see one of my other listings called the cross dress).


I have to question the award that this dress apparently won...Hmmm...


5th pic....and My FAVORITE!!!




Just like the movie 27 dresses, what would you do if you had to have 18 bridesmaid dresses hemmed?, sew them all to one dress of course! this is a size 10 dress

UM....NO!!!

I have been in 20 weddings and I would NEVER sew them all together. "Of course" ?? sheesh

However....

If I'm wrong and there is some of you that like these dresses and you want to purchase one for yourself.....

Well,

Your on your own!!!!

Love ya Sweets!!

    Maybe it was a baby shower for aspiring clowns? *=-)

    i think a baby shower is as good a place as any to wear that lovely thing :) it's certainly more appropriate there than the grocery store. yuck!

    I saw a man on the beach in a Speedo yesterday and I thought I was traumatized THEN!! Until I saw this. That last one is just....you're sure it's not a joke? Oh my lord. I almost want to buy it and parade through our local mall in it to document the stares.

    Oh. My. God. Who buys this stuff & why wasn't I at the event they wore it to so I could snicker to myself!!! Wow. I hope they were going to costume themed weddings/baby showers/etc.

    The things you come across! thanks for posting - I laughed out loud. Made my day!

    I can't decide if the Barney dress or the last one is the worst... they all hurt so much!

    OMG, all of those dresses look like something you'd see in in a Halloween costume store! The people who wear things like this should definitely be future contestants on "What Not to Wear!"

    I can't get over the fact that the one dress was sold. Wow. Those are all so wrong. On oh-so-many levels.

    DON'T MAKE FUN OF MY MOTHER'S SEWING!

    For real though, did a kindergartner design the sun, sky, flower, grass, craptastic dress?

    The owner of the last dress had better wear some scrunchies in her hair to complete the look.

    I could hug you for sharing these!!

    again...holy shit! It amazes me what some people will wear. I would totally try on the bridesmaid dress for shit and giggles.

    Hmm..for some reason you've stopped posting about shit, but i can't seem to keep it out of my comments.

  32. Shop Girl*July 24, 2009 at 10:40 AM

    Oh. my. gosh. Seriously?? I mean... SERIOUSLY?

    Who in their right mind would wear that last dress, except to an "Awful Dress" party? I think it's noble that you didn't post the name / link, but now I'm dying to see more... haha

    Have you been on the website "Craftastrophe"? I think this store would make the website... haha
