Crack addicts should stay away from 1) sewing machines; 2) magic markers; 3) Proust.

Hey tard, have you ever heard of trying clothes on first? Also have you ever heard of double checking your spelling as you go?
But I have to give it to her, at least she’s not charging $85 for this monstrosity…that makes her suck at life a lot less.

The whole shop should be Regretsy’d – although this skirt is clearly the anti-winner.

I refuse to look at that shop again, even if I am having the shittiest day ever, I will not look at those other items, especially the black denim skirt with the heart applique in the crotch area and the many hearts in the butt area.

If the skirt is too small, why does it come up to her neck? I think she should make a cape out of it, photograph a studly man in vampire teeth wearing it, turn it into printed fabric and make reusable menstrual pads.

You know, when I was in high school and there were bohemian wannabe kids, and when I was in art school, and there were hippie wannabe adult-kids… but really, who needs to make more than 1 of these monstrosities? Maybe this person could get together with the creator of “party sweater” and swap ideas.

I have to mention the artist’s profile in which she shares (and these are not ironic quotes) “I recently killed my frist [sic] machine because of using it 24/7.” Thankfully dear fashionistas, this designer will NOT be deterred: “Number 2 is bigger and better. So far its awsome been on it for 3 days straight.hehe”

Easily, hands down, the worst thing I’ve seen on this website so far.
How the fuck can someone sew so much and still be terrible at it? Ugh, doesn’t make any sense. Her shop is an abomination and she’d be doing us a favor if she stopped posting her eyesores of a creation.

@#38: Does that listing also qualify for a listing in Vaginas? Nice flower.

I just got my mom to hover over my computer and check out the site. As a lifelong seamstress, she was horrified by the bad craftsmanship! And then lamented how awful these skirts looked back in the seventies when she was a teenager.
She was double-horrified by the orange “zebra” print pants. She laughed so hard at the horror that she became dizzy…

The “cutting jeans/pants open and making a skirt by adding copious amounts of ugly material and then slapping a patch/pocket over the former crotch area” trend MUST BE STOPPED. I think this seller is the only one doing it so I guess what I’m saying is she must be stopped. There are ways to turn pants into skirts without holes that need to be covered by shitty appliques. You have internet access, look it up.
