One piece of fabric, 30 (!!!) different dresses. I wanted to try and see if it’s possible to build different shapes of dresses from the same fabric, and guess what: it certainly is! Using only two pins, a belt, a bra and some creativity I created 30 different dresses. Who says you need a gazillion event/party dresses in your closet? I say if you own a couple of basic, versatile pieces, you got everything you need to shine in a crowd! In my case, literally.
See all my looks, my inspiration and what kind of fabric it is that I used (you will probably be surprised), after the jump!
You probably noticed the same shape of that infamous wrinkled, strapless dress worn with a wide belt, a la Dolce&Gabbana. I guess you don’t need to pay lots of thousands of dollars to re-create that shape: there is no amazingly complicated tailoring; all you need is a tube dress and some pleating. And a dominatrix belt!
After seeing the Vivienne Westwood ss08 collection, I got more and more interested in this kind of black, shiny, almost latex/leather looking fabric. Those Requiem see-through plastic pumps would be the right shoes for my outfits, no?
Then, noticing the cape thing in Jeremy Scott’s runway show, I knew I had to have such a dress. But unfortunately I couldn’t find/didn’t have the right fabric, until…
...until I used a garbage bag! Yes, that is right. What you saw up there is the most random garbage bag ever, worn in the most diverse ways. And dare I say, I would really wear it out one night, at some club. I doubt that I’d see other girls having the same dress!
