lmaooo I can’t think of anything to add that someone hasn’t already offered. Once again, Regretsy turns an OTT promotional photograph (of a fairly innocuous item) into comedy gold. Kamchatka vodka-and-hot pocket time would never be the same without you.
I like the second photo of the listing where she’s used the cabbage as a fascinator.
I was slightly surprised that the seller wasn’t eastern european, I know I can only speak for my family, but when it comes to food we’re pretty attached to our cabbage!
Her name is Tatyana Sasha Yuditskaya. It says so right at the end of the page. (She must have learned from the previous Glitterbiscuit posts and put a copyright disclaimer)
I’m not being judgmental at all about you’re choice of wedding attire, but you should have gone with BACON ranch dressing, everything, (even yer wedding night), is better with bacon.
I was clearly not the only one who thought so, but it appears about a dozen ham-fisted folk got butthurt about it, which is fine. I’m just saying that masculine hands wrapped around around a rather vein-y vegetable don’t conjure up images of the dream wedding for me.
Being offended on a stranger’s behalf over a relatively harmless comment that alludes to a beloved sitcom? I think that might be the definition of butthurt.
My daughter looked at these photos and said, “Gah, that’s SILLY.” My daughter is 3 and is wearing green butterfly leggings, a poofy pink princess skirt and a yellow and white striped tank top.
Yeah, I’m hoping you put you’re kid to bed before HK post’s the Club Fuckery password tonight, ’cause I hate going out and seeing someone in the same outfit I’m wearing.
I like the idea of having a head of cabbage as a bridal bouquet. Reeks of class and sophistication. The cow poo she will undoubtedly step in on her walk down the isle can be her “something old”. It’s important to cover all your bases on your wedding day.
a silly as this cabbage bouquet might seem, the fact is this is totally front page worthy. I’m sure we’ll be seeing it in an upcoming “mint” of spring treasury. On Etsy the way your product is represented in the first photo isn’t as important as the color/composition of the image. Thats how we get rainbow ribbons wrapped around clothes pins on the front page.
Crazy Cat Lady status is not just about quantity of cats. Oh no. While this is a common missconception, it is wrong. There are a few factors. It’s a simple mathematical equation really. I call it the Cat Lady Quotient…
(Sq Ft of living space / # of cats) * (# of sweatpants person owns / # of Rx person is prescribed)
for me that is (800/3)*(5/3)= 444.44444 or 444 rounding it out.
There are a couple exceptions. If Sq Ft = Zero and/or Rx>10 you get automatic status.
We (the husband is a Crazy Cat Guy) only have three, but there are also two urns on the mantel in front of photos of the Dearly Departed, and cats of wood, glass, porcelain, etc. all over the house. The welcome sign by the front door has a cat on it. The husband also built carpeted ledges for some of the walls. I’m not sure how it happened, but we’re on our way to turning into another version of that house where the couple decorated for the cats.
Herder, it might just be the UTI I was diagnosed with yesterday or that your comment is that funny to me but, I just peed a little from laughing. I might have to add another layer to the CLQ that includes knick knacks and cat posts/trees. <3
I honestly don’t think the shrug/cardigan/whatever you call it thing is THAT bad. (Not that I would ever wear it, mind you… But at least it looks like it was well-made.)
BUT… cabbage? Really? People are trying sooooo hard to come off as artsy-indie-cool that they just come off looking a bit loony.
How long do you think the artist was at the market picking out the perfect head of cabbage to feature in the product photo? (It does look quite nice… no wilted leaves or anything. If she were selling cabbage and not an article of clothing, she would have done an excellent job!)
Um, I’m assuming this listing only made it here BECAUSE OF said cabbage. Regretsy is about pointing out pretentiousness as much as it’s about pointing out the fugly and bizarre…..
oh my gosh! the second photo, with the cabbage fascinator is priceless. I think I love this seller a little bit. I’m pretty sure she gets it. I hope so.
It says size 12. I am hoping that this model is a size 8 or 10 then the shapelessness might make sense. But if thats the case why would you use the wrong size model?
actually scratch that. She is probably the maker and the model. feel free to thumbs down me into oblivion for my comment that is neither funny or relevant.
I’ll bet tyley has called it–model and designer are one in the same. She seems rather small to me, like more of a US size 6, though it is hard to tell using the cabbage for scale. She probably would make the front page easily if she could find a model on whom that jacket fit properly! But certainly, don’t lose the cabbage!
You haters know nothing about the romantic significance of cabbage.
An excerpt, if you will indulge me:
“Of three things I was certain. First, that she was carrying a cabbage. Second, that there was a part of her that thirsted for some Extra Healing lotion, but I didn’t know how strong that longing was. And, that I was deeply and iredicebly in love with Regretsy.”
My last name really is Cullen. And I wish I’d known about these lame assed books/movies BEFORE I got a REALLY big tattoo of my family crest on my forearm. So far there have been 3 times I’ve had girls ask if I’m a “Twilight” fan? My answer, NO DAMMIT. And not a damn one of them wanted to fuck me. FUCK YOU Stephanie Meyers!!!!(Not sure if I spelled her name right).
While I lament your situation of the tattoo (as in sorry glitter soaked vampires ruined a meaningful symbol of your family) but that fact that there are girls that CAN RECOGNIZE the crest… I am a bit speechless. Twi-dorks never cease to amaze me. I live in Seattle and I couldn’t tell you how many times I have been aske what Forks is like… It’s like, 3 hours and a ferry ride away… and don’t blink or you will miss it.
The shrug is not to my taste, but it’s not bad. The cabbage, however, brings out every brassicaceous detail of the item.
The flower detail becomes so many brussels sprouts shot into flower. The ruffle appears a withering edge of a wilty leaf.
On their own, these details had potential. With the head of leafy greens, however, the whole shrug transforms into the embodiment of soupy dowdiness. It is unfortunate because as others have pointed out this is clearly a quality item.
You guys have got it all wrong. The seller was out of fresh flowers and was going to go back and photoshop them in – the cabbage was just a placeholder. And then the seller got busy.
Do you, woman, take this cabbage, to be your deliciously wedded spouse, to have and to hold, in slaws and with corned beef, in crispness and in wilt, from this day forward, ’till death do you fart?
I just “hearted” this seller because, honestly, if I ever do get around to making another treasury, I might want to use some of her items. Her photos are really great. Ok I need to stop commenting because I have lost the ability to snark on this one.
UGH! Regretsy assholes are nothing but jerks & bitches who only bring negative attention to people who put their hard work out there on display, all we do is mock them! B/c we’re talentless, jealous, fat & lazy. And stupid.
(The cabbage is weird but that jumper is totally cute.)
I just hearted this seller, too — her children’s things are totally beyond adorable. Her Inuit-inspired coats? Totally adorable! And she really has a talent for using pattern in fabric. And she has a great pattern for making baby pants out of old fleece sweatshirt sleeves!
Unfortunately, she got a little carried away with that cabbage. But hey, everybody’s allowed one goofy photo, right? Her precious baby pictures definitely make up for the goofiness of the cabbage!
Oh, and tape….that’s how it stuck. Though I am sure you could figure out a whole velcro dealio….hmmm….WAIT – I hereby copyright this idea and if you sell this on Etsy before me I will send you a cryabeetus letter!
What kind of bride wears that green, floral print? Coupled with that “shrug” it makes me wonder if she’s missing a chromosome or two. Or maybe her father/brother/half-cousin/husband-to-be likes it.
Oh man, when I threw mine one of my bridesmaid tore her dress leaping for it…..only to fall flat on her face when my thirteen-year-old cousin got it first. Gotta love her enthusiasm, though……
This is obviously a designer of discerning taste. Notice how it is elegantly styled as Euro trendy, for brides no less. O horrors, I have no vegetables, and the uber fashion for spring is cabbage weddings! Quick, I must run to my grocer and order multiple crates of veggies! I can see it now, eggplant and chiffon, radish and silk, leek and satin… Ooooo, I have it! The ultimate New Look! Modesty belt of used (sorry, I mean up-cycled) braided strips of colorful briefs, cucumber framed goggles, a bit of fruit for a thrill – say, an orange peel clock locket ( yes, a clockwork orange!), yam slippers with octopus clasps, and voilà! Steam punk euro vegan goddess nuptial chic! Huzzah!
Why can’t clothing (or parts of it) be Rococo or Baroque? Those are 2 types of styles.
As for your couture comment… I think you should look up the definition.
Well since you didn’t the first time I will save you the effort:
cou·ture (k-tr, -tür)
n.
1. The business of designing, making, and selling highly fashionable, usually custom-made clothing for women.
2. Dressmakers and fashion designers considered as a group.
3. The high-fashion clothing created by designers.
Yeah, in that definition it states HIGHLY FASHIONABLE. I do believe Poisonne has a point about Etsy sellers calling their uninspired run-of-the-mill or even outright weird and wacky stuff “couture.”
Sure…sure…I get your point, and completely agree with the spirit of it, but, have you seen what is up on the runways these days?
Weird, uninspired, or even run of the mill is certainly no stranger to a catwalk. And it’s all fashion, and it’s all couture. It’s just not always GOOD couture.
I think I have to agree with the crazy lady…
As for the sleeves…
I dunno…seems like a 3/4 sleeve with ruffles fits.
Rococo is just the uber trimmed version of it.
Of course, at this point, I am being a pedantic twat, so, yanno…
Thank you VGO. That was my point. Anything can be highly fashionable based on an opinion. In regards to this posting, I think this Etsy broad is pretty dang couture. Her choice of accessories has me confused… but her clothes are custom, nice quality and fashionable…
Plus you called me crazy lady. Not only amusing to me but fitting on SO many levels.
rococo |rəˈkōkō; ˌrōkəˈkō|
adjective
(of furniture or architecture) of or characterized by an elaborately ornamental late baroque style of decoration prevalent in 18th-century Continental Europe, with asymmetrical patterns involving motifs and scrollwork.
• extravagantly or excessively ornate, esp. (of music or literature) highly ornamented and florid.
3/4 sleeves and ruffles are not highly ornamental and florid, nor do they come from the late 18th century, and they are not asymmetric or involve scrollwork.
Baroque also involves incredibly ornamental aspects, by definition; it is “highly ornate and extravagant” in style. A plain shrug with some ruffles slapped around the collar would that I tried to call Rococo or Baroque would get me laughed out of my labs and a failing grade.
Let me just say this: I can see someone wearing that, especially an older bride after an evening wedding. Or even not at a wedding. But, what’s up with the cabbage? Is it to show the true color of the “shrug” (I mean let’s face it, it’s not a shrug, it’s a short jacket)? Wasn’t there anything else around? The cabbage just takes a perfectly cute item and turns it into something snark-worthy. Couldn’t she have just held some barn wood?
So my son came home from school and said “Hey Mom! You know what would be the craziest animal combination?” I say “What?” He goes “A cat and an octopus!!” I nearly snorted my Strongbow through my nose!!!
He has no clue what Regretsy is!
Thumbs down me all you want. You are just jealous your kid isn’t a money maker like mine! I’m gonna sit the kid down, have him listen to April’s Cd, give him some macaroni and glitter AND ILL NEVER HAVE TO WORK AGAIN!!!
so, not to get repetitive (although your thumbs down is) NAMASTE BITCHES!!
I must have this. http://www.etsy.com/listing/59925745/baby-summer-dress-baby-vacation-dress
I love long dresses on little ones and they are so hard to find anymore. I’ve just given up and started sewing my own. I’m working on a summer dress for my 3yo. It’s three layers of what I think is sheer crepe (not sure, but it was only $2/yd so I bought it!). It’s very lightweight and it drops almost to her instep.
Good for you, RaggedyMe. Little ones in long dresses look so cute! I’m glad you’re a creative mom who makes your own when you can’t find what you want!
Oh dear. I sure when you were sitting there thinking “One day my day will COME!” You had no idea it would involve vegetables and the 90s. But at least yours came, I still wait….
Help, unrelatedly! I see new “members only” things and I can’t get in there to view those posts? Is it like a secret speakeasy of regretsying? Someone tell me the password!

Instead of throwing the bouquet, you can use it to make the salad!
March 21, 2011 at 1:09 pm
The bride still throws the bouquet while the groom tosses the salad
March 21, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Took the words right out of my brain.
March 21, 2011 at 2:22 pm
she doesn’t toss the bouquet, she drop kicks it. it’s very post modern.
March 21, 2011 at 3:06 pm
Oh, is that why the groom spends so long under her dress? I thought he was just looking for the garter.

As to the vegetation, i understand the reference and while the picture is pregnant with the wittiness … no, just no.

I don’t get the cabbage thing either, but I do like some of her stuff. This in particular… http://www.etsy.com/listing/68997735/red-riding-hood-is-so-in-2t-3t-gothic if it were in a larger size I’d seriously consider buying it for my daughter.

I had a red cabbage bouquet at my wedding. And dressed my hair with jalapeno ranch. I’m just saying, there are ways to be classy about this.

I’m not being judgmental at all about you’re choice of wedding attire, but you should have gone with BACON ranch dressing, everything, (even yer wedding night), is better with bacon.

March 21, 2011 at 3:05 pm
Chrissi, if you can count them, you don’t have enough.
March 21, 2011 at 3:12 pm
Crazy Cat Lady status is not just about quantity of cats. Oh no. While this is a common missconception, it is wrong. There are a few factors. It’s a simple mathematical equation really. I call it the Cat Lady Quotient…
(Sq Ft of living space / # of cats) * (# of sweatpants person owns / # of Rx person is prescribed)
for me that is (800/3)*(5/3)= 444.44444 or 444 rounding it out.
There are a couple exceptions. If Sq Ft = Zero and/or Rx>10 you get automatic status.
March 21, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Hmm, how do I calculate that if I was prescribed meds, but stopped taking them? :p
March 21, 2011 at 3:35 pm
angel, there ain’t nothing in the CLQ that states you must be actively TAKING your Rx. Just that you need them is the factor.
March 21, 2011 at 3:43 pm
We (the husband is a Crazy Cat Guy) only have three, but there are also two urns on the mantel in front of photos of the Dearly Departed, and cats of wood, glass, porcelain, etc. all over the house. The welcome sign by the front door has a cat on it. The husband also built carpeted ledges for some of the walls. I’m not sure how it happened, but we’re on our way to turning into another version of that house where the couple decorated for the cats.

I honestly don’t think the shrug/cardigan/whatever you call it thing is THAT bad. (Not that I would ever wear it, mind you… But at least it looks like it was well-made.)
BUT… cabbage? Really? People are trying sooooo hard to come off as artsy-indie-cool that they just come off looking a bit loony.
How long do you think the artist was at the market picking out the perfect head of cabbage to feature in the product photo? (It does look quite nice… no wilted leaves or anything. If she were selling cabbage and not an article of clothing, she would have done an excellent job!)

I don’t think the shrug is that bad either. Someone needs to consult with a stylist though. Flowers aren’t *that* expensive.
March 21, 2011 at 4:01 pm
Um, I’m assuming this listing only made it here BECAUSE OF said cabbage. Regretsy is about pointing out pretentiousness as much as it’s about pointing out the fugly and bizarre…..
March 21, 2011 at 1:32 pm
oh my gosh! the second photo, with the cabbage fascinator is priceless. I think I love this seller a little bit. I’m pretty sure she gets it. I hope so.
March 21, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Yes, the fascinator IS the best part.
The cut of this is strange. Ruffles look better on a more fitted/shaped jacket. The boxy cut of the jacket looks rather lumpy with the ruffles.
Also..flat couture style roses would have added a more polished and profess…
…um..
I seem to be doing a bad Tim Gunn here, but dammit, it’s so CLOSE…
March 21, 2011 at 2:12 pm
It says size 12. I am hoping that this model is a size 8 or 10 then the shapelessness might make sense. But if thats the case why would you use the wrong size model?
March 21, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Clothespins aren’t just for nipple torture anymore!
March 21, 2011 at 2:49 pm
actually scratch that. She is probably the maker and the model. feel free to thumbs down me into oblivion for my comment that is neither funny or relevant.
March 21, 2011 at 3:07 pm
UK size 16 is US size 14. One or the other is wrong.
March 21, 2011 at 4:09 pm
I’ll bet tyley has called it–model and designer are one in the same. She seems rather small to me, like more of a US size 6, though it is hard to tell using the cabbage for scale. She probably would make the front page easily if she could find a model on whom that jacket fit properly! But certainly, don’t lose the cabbage!
March 21, 2011 at 1:36 pm
That cabbage needs a mustache. STAT!
March 21, 2011 at 1:39 pm
The cabbage makes the shrug.
(As in “Hell if I know what it has to do with anything”)
March 21, 2011 at 1:40 pm
When I saw the fourth picture, I thought it was Julie Andrews.
Will the groom wear this?
Now that I know what she looks like, the last picture in the bridal shrug listing is not flattering.
March 21, 2011 at 1:48 pm
I do love that eggplant color…pretty pretty.
(and thank you, Designer, for not having her actually carry an aubergine in the photo…)
March 21, 2011 at 4:11 pm
Eggplant + cabbage? Why not!
(I sort of like this jacket and the grey one next to it in her store.)
March 21, 2011 at 4:44 pm
Actually, her other items are pretty fucking fantastic. It’s hard to choose a favourite, but I do think this one is inspired:
March 21, 2011 at 4:51 pm
Isn’t that FUN? Yeah..lots to like there.
LOTS.
(just not the Lettuce Wrap Shrug.)
March 21, 2011 at 5:05 pm
That’s the only fox stole I’d consider wearing.
March 21, 2011 at 1:44 pm
You haters know nothing about the romantic significance of cabbage.
An excerpt, if you will indulge me:
“Of three things I was certain. First, that she was carrying a cabbage. Second, that there was a part of her that thirsted for some Extra Healing lotion, but I didn’t know how strong that longing was. And, that I was deeply and iredicebly in love with Regretsy.”
March 21, 2011 at 1:52 pm
I like this so much it warranted me commenting that I love it so. The little green thumb just wasn’t enough.
March 21, 2011 at 3:03 pm
There is nothing better than a good Cabbage Ripper Romance novel!
March 21, 2011 at 3:08 pm
Misletoe, you rock on so many levels for this, Also, I’m really pissed that my family name got used for the lamest vampire ever written.
March 21, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Oooooh, what is your family name? You know you could probably parle that into getting some ass…
March 21, 2011 at 4:12 pm
My last name really is Cullen. And I wish I’d known about these lame assed books/movies BEFORE I got a REALLY big tattoo of my family crest on my forearm. So far there have been 3 times I’ve had girls ask if I’m a “Twilight” fan? My answer, NO DAMMIT. And not a damn one of them wanted to fuck me. FUCK YOU Stephanie Meyers!!!!(Not sure if I spelled her name right).
March 21, 2011 at 4:53 pm
While I lament your situation of the tattoo (as in sorry glitter soaked vampires ruined a meaningful symbol of your family) but that fact that there are girls that CAN RECOGNIZE the crest… I am a bit speechless. Twi-dorks never cease to amaze me. I live in Seattle and I couldn’t tell you how many times I have been aske what Forks is like… It’s like, 3 hours and a ferry ride away… and don’t blink or you will miss it.
March 21, 2011 at 4:48 pm
Okay, I tried to hold it in because this cracked me up, but I can’t. I can’t. It’s driving me batshit…..not a far drive.
That’s a head of lettuce in your pic. Not cabbage.
(Sorry I ruined your joke :/)

There should be more upcycled produce on the market.
March 21, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Foof for thought, or $35 CAD.
March 21, 2011 at 1:53 pm
The shrug is not to my taste, but it’s not bad. The cabbage, however, brings out every brassicaceous detail of the item.
The flower detail becomes so many brussels sprouts shot into flower. The ruffle appears a withering edge of a wilty leaf.
On their own, these details had potential. With the head of leafy greens, however, the whole shrug transforms into the embodiment of soupy dowdiness. It is unfortunate because as others have pointed out this is clearly a quality item.
March 21, 2011 at 4:15 pm
+10 for making me look up ‘brassicaceous’!
March 21, 2011 at 4:36 pm
I thought it was just me. The cabbage is showing the shrug how it should be done. Outclassed by a cabbage.
A mustache would just make the cabbage look smug about it.
March 21, 2011 at 10:43 pm
I love you.
March 21, 2011 at 1:53 pm
You guys have got it all wrong. The seller was out of fresh flowers and was going to go back and photoshop them in – the cabbage was just a placeholder. And then the seller got busy.
Please tell me I’m right.
March 21, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Oh, it comes with a free neck choker…Maybe that can be used to make a wrist corsage out of the cabbage…
March 21, 2011 at 2:03 pm
TELL me the choker has a brussels sprout on it.
March 21, 2011 at 2:11 pm
HA!!
March 21, 2011 at 3:00 pm
ooooo, with alternating radishes? I see where you’re going with this.
March 21, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Do you, woman, take this cabbage, to be your deliciously wedded spouse, to have and to hold, in slaws and with corned beef, in crispness and in wilt, from this day forward, ’till death do you fart?
I do.
March 21, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Cabbage? That is just tacky. Now if she were holding Cauliflower that would be classy.
**Crickets**
You know, cause it has “flower” in the name….
March 21, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Is the cabbage bride’s family offering to the groom? I wonder what will his family offer in exchange… maybe a handful of chickpeas? Or a banana?

I will say this…some of her stuff is wonderful.
This is very fine. Looks beautifully made, the cut is unique and charming, and it so perfectly uses the pattern on the fabric.
It is easily one of the coolest things I have seen for kids on Etsy.
I dig it.
(Children themselves, though..I prefer on toast.)
March 21, 2011 at 2:19 pm
this is precious. Looks comfy,totally original. And the photo is darling.
March 21, 2011 at 2:23 pm
I just “hearted” this seller because, honestly, if I ever do get around to making another treasury, I might want to use some of her items. Her photos are really great. Ok I need to stop commenting because I have lost the ability to snark on this one.
March 21, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Exactly. Darling. Between this and the ruffly eggplant number, I like.
Hell..this thing is so cute I will confess to wishing it I had it in my size…Lounging PJs really need to come back.
Fuck the Snuggie, I say.
March 21, 2011 at 2:54 pm
Cept I just realized that if it were in my size I would look like a fey mechanic.
I take that part back.
The rest I keep, especially the Snuggie part.
March 21, 2011 at 3:01 pm
VGO, she actually has something in the bridal section that looks like a grown-up version of this.
It’s a style descendant of the “hostess dresses” that Audra Lindley wore as Mrs. Roper, but still quite nice.
March 21, 2011 at 3:08 pm
Maple…if I didn’t have a hard and fast rule about not spending more than $200 on something I would feel silly wearing out of the house…

I would be on that. Thanks for pointing it out.

UGH! Regretsy assholes are nothing but jerks & bitches who only bring negative attention to people who put their hard work out there on display, all we do is mock them! B/c we’re talentless, jealous, fat & lazy. And stupid.
(The cabbage is weird but that jumper is totally cute.)
March 21, 2011 at 5:33 pm
I just hearted this seller, too — her children’s things are totally beyond adorable. Her Inuit-inspired coats? Totally adorable! And she really has a talent for using pattern in fabric. And she has a great pattern for making baby pants out of old fleece sweatshirt sleeves!
Unfortunately, she got a little carried away with that cabbage. But hey, everybody’s allowed one goofy photo, right? Her precious baby pictures definitely make up for the goofiness of the cabbage!
March 21, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Looks like its made of tea towels.
Pretty nice tea towels at that.
March 21, 2011 at 2:41 pm
And if it is, that’s pretty clever! You can never have too many towels around when it comes to little kids.

You can just pick him up and rub down the counters!

March 21, 2011 at 2:29 pm
I’ll have to side with some folks here…the shrug’s actually pretty nice, IMHO. Not what I’d go for but hey, whatever works for you.
But posing with the cabbage? Either speaks of total cluelessness or a puckish sense of humor.
At least it’s a savoy cabbage.

I like the idea of cabbage instead of flowers for a bridal bouquet. Note that she used the very classy Napa variety for hers.
Besides, think how many bridesmaids you could take out when it comes to throwing the bouquet. Score!
March 21, 2011 at 3:46 pm
Bowling for Bridesmaids!
March 21, 2011 at 4:54 pm
Oh man, when I threw mine one of my bridesmaid tore her dress leaping for it…..only to fall flat on her face when my thirteen-year-old cousin got it first. Gotta love her enthusiasm, though……
March 21, 2011 at 3:08 pm
It’s good that she decided to pair the cabbage with a shrug, because I don’t know what the fuck is going on here.
March 21, 2011 at 3:09 pm
I actually find this very nice. Not that I’d use it every day, but I like it.
I am, of course, referring to the vegetable.

This is obviously a designer of discerning taste. Notice how it is elegantly styled as Euro trendy, for brides no less. O horrors, I have no vegetables, and the uber fashion for spring is cabbage weddings! Quick, I must run to my grocer and order multiple crates of veggies! I can see it now, eggplant and chiffon, radish and silk, leek and satin… Ooooo, I have it! The ultimate New Look! Modesty belt of used (sorry, I mean up-cycled) braided strips of colorful briefs, cucumber framed goggles, a bit of fruit for a thrill – say, an orange peel clock locket ( yes, a clockwork orange!), yam slippers with octopus clasps, and voilà! Steam punk euro vegan goddess nuptial chic! Huzzah!
March 21, 2011 at 3:24 pm
The saddest thing is that what bothers me most about this listing is that it’s impossible for sleeves to be Rococo or Baroque.
This is going to be just like the meaning of “Couture”; now everyone thinks their crap is considered to be couture, just because it’s clothing.
Sigh.
March 21, 2011 at 3:45 pm
Why can’t clothing (or parts of it) be Rococo or Baroque? Those are 2 types of styles.
As for your couture comment… I think you should look up the definition.
Well since you didn’t the first time I will save you the effort:
cou·ture (k-tr, -tür)
n.
1. The business of designing, making, and selling highly fashionable, usually custom-made clothing for women.
2. Dressmakers and fashion designers considered as a group.
3. The high-fashion clothing created by designers.
March 21, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Yeah, in that definition it states HIGHLY FASHIONABLE. I do believe Poisonne has a point about Etsy sellers calling their uninspired run-of-the-mill or even outright weird and wacky stuff “couture.”
March 21, 2011 at 4:28 pm
Sure…sure…I get your point, and completely agree with the spirit of it, but, have you seen what is up on the runways these days?
Weird, uninspired, or even run of the mill is certainly no stranger to a catwalk. And it’s all fashion, and it’s all couture. It’s just not always GOOD couture.
I think I have to agree with the crazy lady…
As for the sleeves…
I dunno…seems like a 3/4 sleeve with ruffles fits.
Rococo is just the uber trimmed version of it.
Of course, at this point, I am being a pedantic twat, so, yanno…
March 21, 2011 at 4:32 pm
Yup, I still really like you.
March 21, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Thank you VGO. That was my point. Anything can be highly fashionable based on an opinion. In regards to this posting, I think this Etsy broad is pretty dang couture. Her choice of accessories has me confused… but her clothes are custom, nice quality and fashionable…
Plus you called me crazy lady. Not only amusing to me but fitting on SO many levels.
March 21, 2011 at 7:30 pm
cou·ture (k-tr, -tür)
adj.
French for “Ugly and overpriced”
March 22, 2011 at 10:50 am
rococo |rəˈkōkō; ˌrōkəˈkō|
adjective
(of furniture or architecture) of or characterized by an elaborately ornamental late baroque style of decoration prevalent in 18th-century Continental Europe, with asymmetrical patterns involving motifs and scrollwork.
• extravagantly or excessively ornate, esp. (of music or literature) highly ornamented and florid.
3/4 sleeves and ruffles are not highly ornamental and florid, nor do they come from the late 18th century, and they are not asymmetric or involve scrollwork.
Baroque also involves incredibly ornamental aspects, by definition; it is “highly ornate and extravagant” in style. A plain shrug with some ruffles slapped around the collar would that I tried to call Rococo or Baroque would get me laughed out of my labs and a failing grade.
March 21, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Let me just say this: I can see someone wearing that, especially an older bride after an evening wedding. Or even not at a wedding. But, what’s up with the cabbage? Is it to show the true color of the “shrug” (I mean let’s face it, it’s not a shrug, it’s a short jacket)? Wasn’t there anything else around? The cabbage just takes a perfectly cute item and turns it into something snark-worthy. Couldn’t she have just held some barn wood?
Vintage, OOAK barn wood?

I love long dresses on little ones and they are so hard to find anymore. I’ve just given up and started sewing my own. I’m working on a summer dress for my 3yo. It’s three layers of what I think is sheer crepe (not sure, but it was only $2/yd so I bought it!). It’s very lightweight and it drops almost to her instep.
March 21, 2011 at 5:40 pm
Good for you, RaggedyMe. Little ones in long dresses look so cute! I’m glad you’re a creative mom who makes your own when you can’t find what you want!
