You're either in or you're out.
I dreamt that I was on the new season of Project Runway last night. Only we were up in what seemed like the old Girl Scout cabins I used to camp in when I was in fifth grade crossed with a ski lodge. Either way, weird accomodations for a bunch of sewing enthusiasts.
For the first challenge, I made a really simple sleeveless, sweetheart-ish bodice minidress with absolutely not a single embellishment. It looked more like a beach coverup than a dress and it was made out of this orange-fuchsia overlay material that reminded me of the Thanksgiving tablecloth my mom has.
I started freaking out that I'd gone too simple, and when I asked people around me what they thought, they were all like, "Yeah, the judges are going to send you home because you basically sewed a towel into a tube." So I decided to be daring and I turned the garment inside out! DUN DUN DUN!!!!!
Which suddenly turned it into denim. The inside-out dress had cute detailing on the bust and was clearly done inside out, but for some reason it looked better that way--almost as if it were just lighter denim with darker trimming. Everyone else? SO JEALOUS OF ME. Especially the girl who had, somehow, managed to get cast in addition to her boyfriend. (They tried out separately, you see, but they both got in! What are the odds?)
I didn't get to the runway show, but I remember ending the dream going "Jesus, even if I pull this off, what the shit am I going to do next week?! I can't sew!" (Except? I totally could! My proper dress was amorphous, but the inside-out one was so smooth and meticulous, I was convinced I'd cheated.)
