Party Dress........

[Flybye]

This is HORRID....................

Prom dress for a POOR girl made by her father from, well, um, er...... raincoats. Yes, that's it raincoats.

Just so you aren't sitting there wondering "what in the H3LL does she DO in her spare time?"...................... I was SENT THIS VIA EMAIL.

:eek: ;) :rolleyes: :eek:

Umm so many things one could say but i'd probably be kicked off TE quite quickly..:o

*snort* oh my..

[melissam]

Wow! :eek:

Before I realized what you meant by "raincoats", I thought, "Wow, that would be a great dress to use in the AIDS/Lifecycle Red Dress Day."

After I realized what you meant by "raincoats," I thought, "Wow, that would really be a great dress to use in the AIDS/Lifecycle Red Dress Day." :p

[kelownagirl]

I had no idea they came in so many colours... :rolleyes:

[Zen]

I like it.
It's imaginative, colorful, and really not a bad looking dress.
I would wear it.

Notice the gentleman is wearing a red ribbon. I'm sure it was designed for some sort of design competition.

[salsabike]

Yeah. I bet it was a competition for using recycled materials to make garments. I've seen weaver buddies make really cool vests out of garbage bags.

Recycled? As in reused? :eek::eek:

[salsabike]

Uh....no. I think they were surplus unused. The vest was great--very chic, actually.

[kelownagirl]

Uh....no. I think they were surplus unused. The vest was great--very chic, actually.

Actually, I meant the 'rain coat" dress first posted. :rolleyes::D

[Tokie]

Flybye - check out the fellow looking at the "party" dress. It's a clue, he has on a name tag type thing, and is wearing a red ribbon pin, isn't that for HIV/Aids awareness? Or anti-drug use or something? I bet this was part of an event to promote awareness about HIV/Aids somehow. Tokie.

[kelownagirl]

hijack - hey tokie, have to responded to the "what does your handle mean" thread? I am curious.... Being a girl from the 70's....

[snapdragen]

Yeah. I bet it was a competition for using recycled materials to make garments. I've seen weaver buddies make really cool vests out of garbage bags.

Lord, I hope the "raincoats" aren't recycled! :eek:

[kat_h]

I was curious about this so googled 'condom dress' and found more pics of this one and lots of pics of others. http://ahboon.net/2007/07/19/condom-fashion-show-in-china/ and http://pandagon.blogsome.com/2006/12/08/condom-dresses/ are quite good.

[latelatebloomer]

You who have seen "Juno" will understand that my first thought was....boysenberry. :eek:

[OakLeaf]

If only every girl wore a dress like that to her senior prom.....:rolleyes:

[tulip]

I'm with Zen. I like it. It's actually a really elegant design.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

It was likely done as an Aids awareness thing, and that's good. It's funny and creative as well. :)

[Flybye]

It must be pretty heavy, don't you think??

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Maybe you could give it some sort of "magic pill" that will help it stand up by itself. :cool: :rolleyes:

Whew. You gave me quite a laugh woman!! Thanks for the belly work out!

[mimitabby]

leave it to Lisa. I shudder at the thought of wearing that...

[Zen]

I shudder at the thought of wearing that...

For some reason, I find it very exciting uh-oh, careful...

[Grog]

Maybe you could give it some sort of "magic pill" that will help it stand up by itself. :cool: :rolleyes:

I think a magic pump would work!

[Crankin]

Well, is the dress lined?
I think it would be very sweaty, ah, with all of that rubber...

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I think a magic pump would work!

Like a bicycle pump? :)



(she asks innocently)

[Zen]

Well, is the dress lined?

Yes. It has a nice satiny smooth lining. For your pleasure ;)

Really though, when i see that dress I see it with the top made of satin rosettes and the bottom is light, breezy chiffon. It's just a nice, light, springy pastel dress. That dress makes me feel happy :)

[IFjane]

I am soooo glad I have had nothing to do with this one! :eek::eek:

[Triskeliongirl]

I think its really cool.

[Tokie]

Hi Kelowna girl! "Tokie" is a nickname derived from my last name. (I used to be "Smitty") Any jokes I get about my current surname are far surpassed by the amount of jokes I got as a Smith! ("oh yeah, that's not your real name!", etc!) The desire to unload Smith surpassed my feminist values! Carol

[Starfish]

That dress makes me feel happy :)

I think it's really pretty, too!

[Dianyla]

If only every girl wore a dress like that to her senior prom.....:rolleyes:
Indeed! If a father ever did make such a dress for his daughter, he'd be doing her a great favor!

[Crankin]

I thought the same thing about Tokie :D:eek:.
Guess I'm still back in '68.

[Trek420]

Where's the matching tux? :p:p
:p

And Mell I think this would be perfect for red dress day:)

[Duck on Wheels]

Hey, it must stretch enough to be one-size-fits-all :D
As for doing the girl a favour ... I wonder if those "raincoats" have been sewn through or glued. Either way, I doubt they're much use as "raincoats" any more.

[Starfish]

Which decade saw the advent of crank? Isn't that a drug? :eek: :p :eek:

I think that's the point....if a father could make a dress for his daughter's prom...he'd want to protect her best he could against the most pressing disturbances of her future...preganancy, STDs and AIDS.

I agree..it would be a most loving act. A wish fufillment.

Besides...it is quite beautiful.

The real ones are in the matching purse :D
