Patchwork fail

[sailorangei]

So, I LOVE tacky things. LOVE. The brighter and more garish, the better, IMO. <3 PoorlyDressed.com is a place where I usually find at least one or two things I would love to wear. And not in a "This looks great!" manner, but in a "HOLY HELL LOOK AT THE UGLY THING I'M WEARING! ITS SO UGLY ITS AWESOME! GAZE UPON THE COLOR ASSAULT!"

That being said, here are some dubious choices.

Today I got the idea to make a costume based on one of the bloodier creations of the current My Little Pony fandom. I was torn between a pink poofy dress or a patchwork dress, but ultimately decided doing patchwork would work against the whole outfit (though maybe I'd do an apron).

Here are some oddities I found while coming to that decision.

This is one of the things where I'm like, "Lose the hat and we'll talk!"

Um...No...Just no...

Many of her item are the same. Especially THIS little number:

Saucy.

I actually DID bookmark two of her skirts in case I DO wanna go patchwork, as those were plain squares and I can work with those.

On its own, this may not be half-bad. The DESCRIPTION, however:

"Gothic Princess Patchwork Dress." Even her daughter is giving her the side-eye.

And one more, from when I started looking for pink dresses:

Another description winner. Or Wiener:

"Funky pink steam punk," and "Vintage 80s STEAM PUNK FUCHSIA PINK lace satin gown!"

I worry about you, ma'am.
