um... no thanks.

If I make dresses that look like this...  maybe someone would have the heart to ask me why.  And then, maybe I'd think twice about it.  At this point in my life designing clothing, I hope both of these possibilities would come to pass, but more so, I hope I never make dresses that look like this.  (One exception:  costume production).

Found this dress on the internet during random browsing...  Yes, this is a style available as a contemporary product.

All I can flatly say is, "wow."

Also, this is the first time on this blog that I am writing with a critical voice.  I'm considering not completing the post.  No, I'll go ahead and publish it as an example of what I don't do.
