where’s the glitter, wings, or pointy ears? this item fails at its own description.
i refuse to believe real fairies or evles would wear scraps of crappy jcrew shirts from the 80′s.
I’m guessing a liquidation sale at Joann Fabrics is behind this. Just beacuse you can haphazardly sew different pieces of cloth together, doesn’t mean you should.
And that smiley face disguise, with matching pink features – too funny!
I’m impressed that she got Princess Anne to model one of these get-ups (Nana’s favorite word). I guess royalty enjoys whimsicle fuckery as much as the next person.

“Could you tell us to the best of your recollection what the person looked like who held you up?”
“Well Officer- they had boobs hanging down to their knees, They had their head disguised in a pink bonnet. I remember that face…oh the face. It was just like the Wal-Mart face….only black.”
This looks like it was made by a whimsicle polygamist learning to sew. Uneven sleeves, unhemmed skirt, ugh. Two triangles sewn together do not a hood make.
The “Iron”ic part is that in the fourth picture it looks like this is being modeled on an ironing board.
They had a segment on the news today interviewing 3 five year olds. All of them hated the color pink. This is why. Makes me wish Pepto Bismal came in another color.
When I saw that picture at first I thought ‘why is she pulling her brains out of her head?’ Then I looked, choked back some vomit and realized that she meant it to be some sort of hood.
~ It is oh-so pink!
~ It is made for scary cartoon faced people.
~ It is sewn by a 3 fingered blind person.
~ It resists ironing.
~ It could poke one’s eye out.
~ It can be reproduced.
i keep wondering if these reconstructed/deconstructed people own an iron. at least this one proves that she knows what an ironing board IS, if not what it is FOR.
I have a special reserve of hate for these “reconstructed” items of clothing that are really just poorly-conceived projects by people who can’t actually sew and have to rely on preexisting garments to do all the work for them. Can’t follow a pattern? Can’t cut accurately? Can’t do buttonholes? Have no concept of fitting? Do reconstructed clothing!
December 23, 2009 at 2:31 pm
And it doesn’t need ironing!
December 23, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Another hideous dress made by someone without an iron.
December 23, 2009 at 2:34 pm
What’s with the weird blanked out face in one of the photos?
December 23, 2009 at 2:36 pm
And you can use it as a Fairy OR Elf dress. Decisions, decisions…
December 23, 2009 at 2:36 pm
That sure is a long pointy hood… it must be intended for a magical, whimsical unicorn.
December 23, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Also one of her other items is a “corset-style” dress with various detritus in the photo backgrounds, including medication bottles.
December 23, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Holy crap! Look at the third picture of this listing. It’s the scariest thing I’ve ever seen!
Her method of pasting blank (or smiley-faced) ovals to preserve her model’s privacy (or reputation) is totally freaking me out …
Couldn’t these women get together and SHARE an iron?
December 23, 2009 at 2:40 pm
@#5 TJMMS: Or Zippy the Pinhead.
December 23, 2009 at 2:41 pm
is that a tattoo on the back of her leg or just dirt?
December 23, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Please photoshop that cat’s face- in place of the blank white oval (I am photoshop challenged)
December 23, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Hides her face but reveals (fourth image) that there’s a “Daren” in her life.
December 23, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Fashion gained nothing by this dress, but I’d say those three shirts lost the most.
December 23, 2009 at 2:43 pm
#3 rednails- don’t you know? Fairies and elves are much like vampires. They don’t appear in mirrors, so their hair is ALWAYS a mess!
No self-respecting elf/fairy would have their photo taken!
What? No?
I’m guessing the teen-aged child of the “artisan” begged not to be posted on the Internet in this dress.

Note to sellers: if you include a detail shot of your stitching, make sure that the stitching doesn’t look like CRAP.
See the fourth and fifth photos of this listing for how not to do it.

Because I love looking like I’m wearing a diaper.
December 23, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Yes I deserve a thumbs down…if only I had read the decsription I would have known it was shirts not cloth sewn together. Like it matters.
December 23, 2009 at 2:56 pm
What’s up with the seam close-ups? Is that inside-out or not? Or is it the crummy sewing equivalent of a bad MC Escher rip off?
December 23, 2009 at 2:59 pm
I’m thinking I would have liked it a lot more when it was deconstructed…
December 23, 2009 at 3:08 pm

No elf in their right mind would wear that… o.O
December 23, 2009 at 3:11 pm
The model does not look happy. That smiley face – IT’S ALL A LIE!
December 23, 2009 at 3:23 pm
The word “deconstructed” actually means “I can’t sew for shit.”

model in picture: “ok i’ve posed in your haute couture fuckery garment. can i have my crack rock now please?”
December 23, 2009 at 3:52 pm
ninjagato, i would totally wear that corset. not the bloomers and cap, and not until it has had a good washing, but yeah, i’d wear that
December 23, 2009 at 4:02 pm
this completely ridiculous. Only some human form lower than a folksinger would wear this.
My tunic and matching elf hat is in green. But pink just doesn’t make a lick of sense.
She’d be laughed out of one of my ‘legend of zelda’ cosplay get togethers.

OMG…I almost spit out my Jim Jones KoolAid when I read this.
Question…If I buy this dress am I allowed to wear a bra…or is it better if I don’t…you know, like the model?
December 23, 2009 at 4:20 pm
#5 ThisJustMakesMeSad “That sure is a long pointy hood… it must be intended for a magical, whimsical unicorn.”
It’s actually for wearing with your unicorn pig hat.
December 23, 2009 at 4:29 pm
OMFG…good job on the animation Skully!
Ninjagato, I thought that ensemble you mentioned looked very Holly Hobby to me-if Holly Hobby was a pilgrim hooker

love the full-back tats in the mobcap/bloomers pic. Didn’t know that budding polygamist seamstresses were allowed body art.

I find the mobcap and bloomers listing just as depressing and sad and the braless pink fairy wonder dress.
But one of the other listings for a vintage dress says the seller loves it but “it’s corset cleaning time”. I can’t really fathom how that’s related.
December 23, 2009 at 8:07 pm
They had a segment on the news today interviewing 3 five year olds. All of them hated the color pink. This is why. Makes me wish Pepto Bismal came in another color.

#50: looks like she took an amish woman hostage and made her model that outfit
December 23, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Things that freak me out about this:
~ It is oh-so pink!
~ It is made for scary cartoon faced people.
~ It is sewn by a 3 fingered blind person.
~ It resists ironing.
~ It could poke one’s eye out.
~ It can be reproduced.
I am so skeered!

Well at least its not a faery dress…

It looks like a Francis Bacon painting and she’s tearing her own (elastic) brains out…

are the cut-off tights included in the bargain price? They should be extra–wrinkle free!
December 24, 2009 at 5:07 pm
I was in San Francisco last year and saw a ton of street performers. They all had better costumes than this thing.

That’s a dude…. So I guess that’s why they call it a “fairy” dress.
January 1, 2010 at 3:03 pm
I have to say, the “long, pointed hood” – in pink or any other color – is inadvisable.
January 5, 2010 at 10:22 pm
if my ‘fairy’ godmother, or my own personal keebler ‘elf’ ever showed up in this get-up…..let’s just say, ‘there will be blood’
footnote….i have to say that my favorite part is also the long pointy hood….perfect for storing bees
