Standing Out While Ostensibly Blending In


ebay item 8340264666

There's only a couple of days left in this auction, so get on the stick, people! (This is another dress suggested by msbelle -- thank you!) I love this print so very, very much. The seller calls it "camo" but unless you're standing in front of a wall of 1960s bathroom tile, I'm not sure how well you're going to blend in.

An aside: I love camo print. I really, really do. I love to make the girliest stuff out of it. (I have a camouflage circle skirt, for instance.) It suits my rather literal ironic sense. And I know that there was fad of girly camo a year or so ago but I Don't Care. I have right now, waiting to be sewn, three yards of pink camo jersey knit. And I have a pink silk camo bias dress waiting for me to Get the Goddamn Zipper Right Already. That one may need a "fixer." Anyway. This isn't camo, but it's close, and I love it.

The seller says the buttons need replacing. I'm thinking it would be lovely with transparent brown buttons, largish. Matching the brown in the print, of course.

Again: what are you waiting for? I'd buy it myself if it weren't on the largish side. (B41/W32). It's only $20 and there are no bids yet!

    I find this dress...kind of dowdy.

    Either the dress's proportions are weird, or mine are (possibly both), because it would be loose on top, but too tight on the bottom for me. @@

    i personally love the dress, so much that i bought it! thanks for the tip-off. It will probably need a bit of alteration since it is a little big, but I hope I like it as much in person.
