Lol. I was just going to say how Big Bird-esque the bottom of the dress was. ;)

Did you ever see the Big Bird movie? The one where he leaves home and gets captured, so to speak, by some carnival/circus and put into a cage as a singing act where they make him blue with lighting and all? Sad in the middle, but a good movie. You may be just a year or so too young to remember that one. He he...

Yeah, "fashionista" is an obnoxious word for several reasons.

I suppose they would have to use tulle ruffles on a strapless gown. With that many ruffles, anything heavier would pull it down and result in wardrobe malfunction. :)~

Muahaha!!! You do make me laugh! XD

[morrendu]

Are the ruffles really supposed to start around her knees like that or does the model just have mutant hips?

[traceria]

They are. Appalling, isn't it?

[smor]

Personally, I'm of the opinion that mermaid dresses are not flattering to any woman that actually HAS hips. But that's just my opinion. But you're right, this is a particularly bad one. The whole ruching look of the rest of it just makes it look like the dress is too tight on her, which really doesn't help with the whole "I killed the Abominable Snowman and now I'm wearing his pelt around my knees as a blanket" effect.
