Jesus H. Macy this is fugly. It’s like formal night on a Rosie O’ Donnell cruise. Seriously, when you’re 20 years old and your dress makes you look like a retired ice dancer at a Lutheran mixer, it’s time to rethink your outfit. Not everything old is hip. You don’t see Larry King drinking Mojitos in the Meatpacking District.

I keep expecting the ghost of Karen Carpenter to pop out from behind her.

Lovely grandmother of the bride gown.
June 10, 2010 at 4:24 pm
some things are only “vintage” because they’re never allowed to come back!!!
June 10, 2010 at 4:24 pm
All she needs is to accessorize with a tambourine.
June 10, 2010 at 4:25 pm
THANK GOD! I’ve been looking for something hideous to hide my curves AND the fact that I have boobs!
June 10, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Holy cow of roquefort that’s ugly. Contains elements of a marching band uniform , a nehru jacket & a Nevada brothel all in one uniform hot mess.
June 10, 2010 at 4:26 pm
It’s hip.
Replacement hip.

“your dress makes you look like a retired ice dancer at a Lutheran mixer”
I’ve got this year’s Halloween costume figured out early this year!

there are other craptacular things in this shop…

cosby sweater!! gahhh!
June 10, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Maybe this a bridesmaid dress because it makes anyone who wears it look fat and shapeless. And we know the model is not shapeless, thanks to this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/46780343/size-m-vintage-80s-lavender-leotard?ref=v1_other_2

@razberries
I have a soft spot in my heart for big ugly 80s sweaters, but that leotard is in disgusting condition and she wants $13 for it?!
June 10, 2010 at 4:34 pm
#9 raz- oh ugh, a used leotard.
The idea of buying a used leotard is totally retarded, as bad as second assed undies.
June 10, 2010 at 4:35 pm
I take it back. Apparently she modeled some of her goods while pregnant (?) http://www.etsy.com/listing/45860139/vintage-black-super-batwing-cardigan?ref=v1_other_1
June 10, 2010 at 4:36 pm
HK, are you calling Lutherans bad dressers? As a Jewtheran, I’m half offended.
June 10, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Funny Skully, you don’t look Lutheran.
June 10, 2010 at 4:38 pm
Even Jesus wouldn’t forgive Macy’s for selling something this tacky.
June 10, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Late Eurovision entry?
June 10, 2010 at 4:45 pm
I think she deserves credit for using the word diaphanous & spelling it correctly.
June 10, 2010 at 4:45 pm
I’m fat enough to rock this powder blue beauty.
June 10, 2010 at 4:48 pm
It looks really itchy to wear…
My mom wore the 80s version to my wedding in 1986. Here’s a photo… enjoy the 80s hair. And Mom’s glasses.

Zuzana models this stunning iridescent blue dress, capturing the quiet desperation of a peasant girl, who after a hard day of selling beets and Volga engine parts at the bazaar, returns to her dim concrete flat for an evening of drink and Etsy.
June 10, 2010 at 4:56 pm
i guess there’s nothing left in the thrift stores except these hideous items that were hideous from the get-go- a whole shop full! i’d rather wear the skirt with the dick or just be naked
June 10, 2010 at 5:00 pm
oh yeah.. there is nothing I want more than something that has been riding up in someone’s crotch for the last 20 yrs: http://www.etsy.com/listing/46769847/vintage-knit-purple-footless-leggings?ref=v1_other_2
June 10, 2010 at 5:03 pm
WTF seriously, 25 bucks for used acrylic leggings?
Bwahahahahahahaha.
June 10, 2010 at 5:09 pm
She looks like the Clearance Rack on Romanian Mail Order Brides.
June 10, 2010 at 5:11 pm
the dress is bad, the leggings (#24) are fupa-tastic. I will not be jumping on the “Elle Train” anytime soon.
June 10, 2010 at 5:14 pm
Not diaphanous.
June 10, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Dia-fap-a-nous?
June 10, 2010 at 5:24 pm
The fact that she uses the word shape” in the description is quite frankly disconcerting.
June 10, 2010 at 5:38 pm
Dia-pannus?
June 10, 2010 at 5:45 pm
OMG, she’s wearing my grandmother’s davenport! http://www.etsy.com/listing/33378349/size-m-vintage-tropical-print-jumpsuit
June 10, 2010 at 5:53 pm
are you gonna tell me you’ve already forgotten that time we saw Larry King drinking mojitos in the Meatpacking District?
June 10, 2010 at 5:56 pm
This may be the rare case where parts are better than sum of parts.Maybe I’ve just seen too many upcycled/
butchered/repurposed garments but I can see this as a pretty nice skirt, okay bluose(sic), not sure about the vest but hey , still not a total loss.
June 10, 2010 at 5:56 pm
For that week he was single again, right?
June 10, 2010 at 6:13 pm
For the love of god and baby Jeezus, Goodwill needs to keep the dumpster out back locked up to keep this person out of it. This shit was butt ugly decades ago and if possible even uglier now.
June 10, 2010 at 6:19 pm
I think this outfit could be upcycled into a nice pair of skants and matching halter top with detatched sleeves. But it’s missing some doilies.

Looks like Great Aunt Martha died and the seller was put in charge of cleaning out the closets.
June 10, 2010 at 6:24 pm
Vintage is bad for me so I don’t go there. True Story. My Grandma had all of her kid’s clothing that they never left the home with. I found this cool 1970′s jacket and took it home and threw it in the wash pile. My now EX hated dope with a passion(he’s on of those idiots that thinks DARE works and has the bumper sticker to prove it) anywho he decided to do the laundry and there was an ancient bag of weed, mostly seeds in the pocket. I tried explainbing it to him that it came from my Grandma.
June 10, 2010 at 6:26 pm
#40 cont. he never beleieved for one second it was my Grandma’s weed as he stated time and time again. It came from her house, I never said it was hers… on and on… I fear vintage today..much like this revived dress, it brings back the trauma.
June 10, 2010 at 6:36 pm
I have to add that I called up my G-ma and told her to check pockets and shit as she sent me home with some dope and seeds, that were in that jacket. Still is the strangest conversation I have ever had to have with my elders.
June 10, 2010 at 6:37 pm
Here’s where I finally confess that I would honestly wear this dress if it fit me, and if the sleeves could be safely removed. And that davenport. Sigh. I’ve been a hipster this whole time.
June 10, 2010 at 6:48 pm
This dress makes me want to light a Unicorn horn candle, play some Juice Newton, and hump on the shag rug.
June 10, 2010 at 7:10 pm
“Jesus H. Macy” is now my new favorite saying. I keep picturing Jesus yelling “This is my deal!” in Fargo.
June 10, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Am I the only person that thinks this model looks an awful lot like Leanne Marshall from Project Runway?

Well, at least she’s selling this hideous thing. XD
June 10, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Suda I think this answers the question what ever happened to Patti Deutche or at least her hairstyle
June 10, 2010 at 7:48 pm
That’s right Stretch! All we need is Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly and we’ve got ourselves a reunion tour!
June 10, 2010 at 7:50 pm
ahem. i have a brief commercial that will make sense to an audience of one:
Wig Block. Baby Head. Car Wax.
okay, now back to the shit.
June 10, 2010 at 7:55 pm
SMURFS ON ICE!
June 10, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Thank you Recovering Crack Baby! It was special for you.

No worries about me wearing it I couldnt touch that manky fabric even if I tried!

June 10, 2010 at 8:24 pm
It’s not even upcycled.
Yeah this is right up there with parachute pants – not something to be revived. Those of us who were stupid enough to wear it the first time around are giving you 20-something hipsters fair warning. You’re gonna regret the big brown plastic glasses and sweater vests, trust me.
June 10, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Maybe we had it all wrong. Car Wig, Head Block, Baby Wax. Yeah, that works. What does not work is this blue contraption. I don’t know who thinks this was ever in fashion, but I lived through the hideous 70′s AND 80′s and I do not remember this look EVER being popular. I do, however, remember gauchos. Yikes.
June 10, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Hee Hee look at the models mouth she KNOWS she looks bad!

June 10, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Is it just me or does anyone else imagine her wearing the clear underwear underneath this sheer disaster?
June 10, 2010 at 8:59 pm
I had something like that tropical monstrosity 25 years ago, but this blue thing was never something I, or any of my friends, would have worn. Maybe this is from the 60′s or 70′s, from a “mother of the bride” rack.
@21 Patty has been abducted by an Alien, that’s some fine feathering you had going on there.
June 10, 2010 at 9:01 pm
oh toethumbs, you are brave. you will come back to check on the ups and downs. you will, i am sorry but you will. weep.

#60 i totally do.
June 10, 2010 at 9:22 pm
It is with great relief that I discover that this seller isn’t some hipster of Midwestern origin living in NYC. The seller is from Philadelphia.
While it only makes me feel marginally better about this fairy tent, I’ll take what I can get.
June 10, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Well…. I guess the hair style is kinda vintage.

The tossbag flushed it. Hey busybody, you got any plier’s to get this fucking table apart???

#60 busybody :

mmmmmm diaphanous and crackly hence the face of the wearer the static electrickery created would be electrifying.
June 11, 2010 at 4:07 am
Maybe it’s because I’ve spent the last 4 weeks designing/finding/making costumes for a comedic play set in 1968 that I don’t find this horrible— IF it fit the wearer and IF she were a character in a comedic play set in 1968.
June 11, 2010 at 5:04 am
Her stock of items seems to skirt the line of good taste, with varrying degrees of success. Some look fun and funky (Davenport, this:http://www.etsy.com/listing/36081294/size-l-blue-shirtdress-with-embroidered
and this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/47904231/size-l-vintage-black-sheer-floral-dress)
and some look as if they merely smell funky (legging, leotard, this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/45829495/size-l-lavendar-vintage-romper)

I’m with you there. If I had the talent and the time to do so, I’d remove the wrists to make it a fluttering sleeve, and reshape the vest (the collar has to go, ugh), maybe find something matching the underlay to make a belt and give it a waist.
Thank FSM I’m a lazy crafter who can only sew straight (hello pillow cases!). I do not need a new hobby.
June 11, 2010 at 7:53 am
I hated these things even when they were . . . I hesitate to say “stylish.” Shall we settle for “socially acceptable”?
http://www.etsy.com/listing/31788001/size-sm-bright-colored-80s-vintage
I can’t wait until this whole hipster thing is over. It’s like she goes garage-saling every weekend and grabs whatever doesn’t have raging pit-stains and hopeless cigarette-smoke saturation, and tries to pass it off as vintage cool.
June 11, 2010 at 8:16 am
I suppose it’s kind of relieving to see that the model’s expression fits the dress; Lifeless and dull. A match made in hell, I suppose. 20 bucks says she tore this thing off as fast as she could after the picture was taken.
June 11, 2010 at 8:53 am
It’s the female version of a Sgt. Pepper uniform ….
June 11, 2010 at 9:12 am
She reminds me of the gal with the short hair on the show, One Day At A Time.
June 11, 2010 at 10:45 am
Marcia Marcia Marcia!
As I have to keep telling my MIL… old does not make it vintage or antique. Sometimes it is just old crap that needs to be put out of its misery!
June 11, 2010 at 10:47 am
Now, I like a nice gaudy piece of vintage clothing (‘you dress like my grandma’s wallpaper’, as a friend put it), but this is far too ‘one time at band camp’ even for me. There’s kitsch, and then there’s craptacular.
June 11, 2010 at 2:06 pm
It’s like the costumes for Disney’s Aladdin and Jasmine rolled into one, and in a dress format.
June 12, 2010 at 2:52 am
Odd though isn’t it how there is a person alive today that looks as though this dress was made for them?
June 12, 2010 at 8:55 pm
I used to work in nursing homes I swear this is one of the old women’s nighties
June 14, 2010 at 7:32 am
I know it’s vintage. I can tell by the way it smells.
