Now you too can have your own version of the kind of dress from the grocery store challenge that gets the contestant sent home on the very first episode of many Project Runway seasons. Perfect for Halloween!
I, for one, am exceptionally pleased that Angelina “The Staten Island Dump” from Jersey Shore was able to launch her own clothing line despite leaving the show for a second time.
I think the stylist for this short, chic style dress had the opportunity for some bold pairings.
For example: instead of the plain silver necklace, I would have loved to see a half-eaten pizza slice dangling somewhere in between the nape and the navel- even a subtle nod to Domino’s would have been nice.
Also, since we’re obviously channeling Ke$ha (VMA’s) one of Hollywood’s style icons, why not throw on a caution tape belt or scarf as well?
It’s those little details that take an outfit from DRAB to FAB!
After checking out the photo of the other item for sale,
(garbage bag of course) I think they might change the name of the shop from postapocalypticglam to postapoplexystupor.
Whoa….someone finally did come up with a dress made of garbage bags! Must be inspired by the lady with the Ikea shopping bags.
But think about it…if your Halloween party is going to be particularly messy (paintballs, folks drunk and throwing up, mudslides at partyhouses, etc…) then this is the ideal little black dress for you!
And the best part about it is that the drawstrings are on the hem, hence adjustable…so one never has to worry about the wind blowing the skirt up! ^_^
Interesting that the red pull handle is located in the center of the “dress”, so this is really a 2 fold garment….dress and then pull the handle ties and you have the female condom….win-win, she can wear the dress and NOT reproduce….
The epitome of disposable clothing – at least it’s appropriately priced. You know there has to be a fetish group into garbage bag sex. Seems like an affordable hobby in that case – more so than if your a woolie.
Geez, kids today, they take the lazy way out! Safety pins and electrical tape…in MY day, when we made “upcycled” plastic garments we cut the plastic into strips first and then CROCHETED them! More craftsmanship involved; it took longer, but by gum, we LIKED it like that! Harumph.
@Reginald, (comment # 11), HA! The first thought when I saw this was also Angelina from Jersey Shore, it might have been because her “suitcase” was a garbage bag full of clothes for a while…she upgraded to a suitcase but I could imagine her upcycling her old suitcase nyah, hah!
@evacooper, thanks for a bonus smile on this post! I don’t know if that’s Smeagle or Gollum. Just don’t hate, folks, this is for people who think cotton breathes too much

Oh the sweat!
October 18, 2010 at 4:41 pm
So we’re back to the (late) seventies (in London) revival again? Very ‘Seditionaries’.
October 18, 2010 at 4:42 pm
That’s a nice cinder block wall. None of my institutions were ever that nice.
October 18, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Wait… safety pins AND electrical tape?
Oooh-hoo-hoooo! Look whose all fancy and shit! We use duct tape in this house, missy!

October 18, 2010 at 4:47 pm
How much for a handy behind the 7-11?
October 18, 2010 at 4:48 pm
The red “cinch sack” string is strategically placed for easy access.
October 18, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Looks like Mugatu’s “Derelicte” campaign is finally happening.
October 18, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Hey, look! Serial killer chic!

I wonder what we’ll see next from Hobo couture!
October 18, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Custom made to your individual measurements, as long as you’re 55 gallons or less.
October 18, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Can we get a “compare and save” on this one?
October 18, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Well, at least they aren’t asking some ridonkulous amount of money for it?
October 18, 2010 at 4:58 pm
hope it comes in plus size for those that are “Hefty Hefty Hefty”!
October 18, 2010 at 4:59 pm
judging by the stretch across the boob area, she should have used force flex bags instead

“Basic” Garbage Bag Dress
Does the “Premium” version come with actual garbage?
October 18, 2010 at 5:06 pm
It would look really pulled together with some dried orange peel earrings and a pop tab bracelet.
October 18, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Well, hey — if you’re looking for a trashy Halloween costume. . . .
(*sad trumpet noise*)

the convenient drawstring allows one to bring the look from streetwalker to crack whore in an jiffy!
October 18, 2010 at 5:42 pm
I suppose it has easy clean up going for it.
October 18, 2010 at 5:51 pm
I think she’s charging too little for this. I mean the safety pins alone have an Etsy retail of $25.00! http://www.regretsy.com/2010/10/11/compare-and-save/

So this is what white trash looks like.
October 18, 2010 at 6:10 pm
Do these have scented odor block? Then maybe I can skip the right armpit with my deodorant.
October 18, 2010 at 6:14 pm
I’m hoping this material is breathable and machine washable, because when people are toss crap on you all day long, you’ll be wanting both
October 18, 2010 at 6:19 pm
Sadly, it has cuter lines and drapes more nicely than any of the garments previously featured here.
October 18, 2010 at 6:27 pm
I like the Basic, but I’m saving for the Delux, because you need to spoil yourself once in a while. Am I right ladies?
October 18, 2010 at 6:35 pm
my sister would love it, but then she IS dating a raccoon.
October 18, 2010 at 6:43 pm
I can’t look at the listing, because I’m afraid I’ll see the word “upcycle”.
October 18, 2010 at 6:45 pm
Seems like the right price. Does it come shipped in a garbage bag?
October 18, 2010 at 6:45 pm
I’ve tried telling her repeatedly that the Sanitation Crew won’t pick things up from the curb unless they’re in the proper container!

I can’t help but think how convenient this would be for
Rush Week here at UF. Heck, every weekend, come to think of it…

Been there, done that in the 80s. Punk rock and all.

what is that guy doing?
October 19, 2010 at 5:47 am
I think he’s eating a squirrel.
October 19, 2010 at 6:14 am
I’ve actually worn one of these….
over my head in the rain when my umbrella broke.
October 19, 2010 at 6:33 am
I wonder if you can get it in the white kitchen bag version? It would make a killer white trash wedding!
October 19, 2010 at 6:52 am
Hey hey hey. It’s not garbage! It’s *Derelicte*

Nothing says sexy like sweating enough to smell like you wrestled a bag of onions.
And the red pull at the bottom? Looks like her Easy button is showing.

Don’t miss the Cinch-sack version with the drawstring waist.
That dress is garbage
OMG “like bag your dress”
October 19, 2010 at 11:54 am
Is this a sneak peek at the next season of Jersey Shore?

Going by the other stuff in her shop, she’s a bit obsessed with fallout 3….
October 19, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Is she making stuff specifically to try to get on regretsy?
October 20, 2010 at 8:12 am
hmmmm….dead hooker chic. i like it.

I love the little red chastity belt detail. Just yank on it an hope you don’t slip on your sweat.

That’s a trashy dress.
