I’d probably wear it if it looked less like a flour sack and if I wasn’t worried it had been pre-worn by someone who hadn’t pre-washed. Am I a hippie, too? Should I get tested?
I’m kind of a hippie, but I agree with everything you say. I usually don’t equate sexy with shapeless/baggy…perhaps if there were some waist-shaping, even a tie under the boobs, maybe that would help. I’m sure SOMEONE finds this sexy – but I’m sure there’s someone who wants to find Danny Devito’s prostate too.
I’m sure five minutes on Google would prove both of those things true. Possibly at the same time.
Anyway, yes, I’d wear a dress with mushrooms on it, but I wouldn’t feel particularly sexy doing it. Wait, maybe the dress isn’t supposed to be the sexy part. Is it the mushrooms? If so, they clearly aren’t phallic enough to get the message across.
Damn it, Swaan, I go away for 2 hours and come back to you launching a discussion of finding Danny DeVito’s prostate (which somehow morphed into discussion of Danny DeVito’s prostitute and how to replace the batteries in him, down in the thread).
No, I too think a lot of her stuff is cute and well made. Although, I would not wear it, for fear of bombardment by Rainbow kids. (“Dude…. can we crash at your house? Thanks! LOVIN YOUUUU!”)
Yeah no I think it’s really cute too. And there are some other pictures of that model where she actually looks very adorable.
BUT I just gave the store owner quite a hard time over there on the facebook, so I wasn’t about to be all “hey, even though you’re a braindead hypocrite, like totes cute dress!!”
It is very nicely done. She even knows how to hem!! You don’t see that every day on Etsy.
I don’t want to wear something that has been previously modeled by someone with hairy armpits though.
It’s nicely done, yes – but is it a DIFFICULT style?? No. I honestly think even *I* could do this, and I don’t consider myself a great sewer. I do things like hem pants and make tote purses…..this “dress” I could do.
Why does it need to be difficult and complicated to avoid ridicule? Simple things can still be executed with much talent. Her applique work is lovely, and she uses color well. I would even buy this if it were in my size/I had money.
There is much more here to focus on.. I mean, NAMASTE CREATIONS?? Guys, come on!
I am more pointing out that for $115, I’d expect a little more difficulty in the execution. I’m not making fun of her work, but more her pricing. And she tried on the FB thread to say it takes SOOO many hours to make – yeah, no it doesn’t, not this piece anyway. Did she do good work? YES. Does it deserve that much of an upcharge for the work done? No.
No, it is cute- just not in this photo. I think a smaller version would be totes adorable- I could so see a little kid wearing this while romping around a playground.
Me, too! I was busy liking the dress. I thought it was on Regretsy because there’s nothing sexy about it. It’s completely formless. Never saw the pit hair.
Shame the dress is so overpriced.
I spent a few minutes trying to figure out whether or not the hair belonged to her head or her armpits before going to the etsy listing for an alternate angle.
I was going to say the same thing. Not as in, did they grow together, but is it a trick of the eye that the end of one dread is sort of hanging in front of her upraised arm and looks like pit hair.
I don’t mind the pit hair either. The dress is cute as a little “runaround and do your chores” dress, but they need to take the “sexy” out of the title. It is in no way sexy.
I’ve come to loathe the word “sexy” because of inappropriate/inapplicable usage like this. It’s even being used on children’s costumes and pet clothes. Someone actually thinks these things should incite feelings of sexual attraction, or they would’ve used a different word, right? Right? Please tell me I’m not the one who’s mistaken by disagreeing.
What possible meaning and impact does the word still have if it can be applied to a new toaster?
Her ugly, creepy face is really what does it the most because I didn’t realize that was pit hair at first. I thought it was pit stubble and hair from her head dangling by her pit. x.x’
But note the extra panels in the Viking version that give it a defined shape, and compare to the bell skirt that was pulled above boob level and given a strap to keep it there.
Viking apron dress = historical and cultural, as well as pretty with but a modest requirement of skill.
Mushroom apron dress = patterns and fitted clothes are for narcs.
Why does being a hippie have to be synonymous with no grooming whatsoever. I’m not just talking about the pit hair. I mean, would it kill this girl to run a comb through that rat’s nest on her head?
This has always baffled me. I’ve never understood why refusing to groom or clean oneself regularly is considered to be more “natural” when even the most isolated indigenous tribes have standards for grooming.
Dude – you just don’t get being a hippie.
It’s about rejecting convention (unless it’s a convention you and your friends have agreed upon)
It’s about not playing by the rules of corporate America (except when it comes to using the wire-ACH system when transferring trust fund cash)
It’s about sharing (except when you bought it and marked it in the fridge)
It’s about freedom of expression (unless your expression will bum someone out)
It’s about communal living (until phone bill day)
It’s about living an eco-centric life (but you can still stick strips of plastic talking about your eco-centric life on your bottle-green Volvo)
It’s about living life, man.
Hey, now – leave Volvo out of this! Everyone knows it’s either an old-school VW van or a Prius these days (either of which probably cost too much). Volvos are for those of us with too much stuff/pets/kids to haul but who view a minivan as a failure.
I think the photo drove any idea of free love out of my brain.
As to the Volvo, I was thinking the 1983 station wagon one often sees driving to the potter’s co-op in Bennington. I apologize for not being specific.
Holy shit, my cat must be a hippy. All this time I thought his lack of grooming habits was because he was probably taken away form his mommy too early.
How wrong I was. He’s clearly sticking it to the Man.
“A little more conservative but still sexy.” Oh, I must disagree with you, on both counts. But I’d pay good money to see an actual Conservative wear it – get Ann Coulter or Michele Bachmann in it, take pics, preferably at the GOP Convention, put the prints up for sale, and I’d buy one.
What I don’t understand is why, for the love of all that is holy, do women with hairy armpits love to raise their arms and salute? It’s like it’s the female hippy version of giving all of the rest of us the finger.
Well, what’s the point of growing out your armpit hair if everyone doesn’t know about it? If you are going to hide it, you might as well just shave and be comfortable, like the rest of the conformists.
Actually, since you have no way of seeing most armpit hair when they’re not raising their arms, you have no idea how many pitty women you see single day with their arms down.
The pit hair doesn’t bother me, but the unwashed look does. I’m not going to buy clothes being worn buy someone who looks like they do not bathe.
And as a hippie(I’ve got a godsdamned sunburn on my back from building the beds for our organic heirloom garden yesterday. I wear patchouli. I’m drinking fucking spinach and barely grass juice, and I like it), I really don’t understand this whole mentallity of “I’m a hippie, must not bathe.” I bathe! With handmade soaps, and a patchouli shampoo bar! You can even collect the water from your bath and dump it on your compost!
Bathe before you take pictures wearing a godsdamned dress you are trying to sell!
Your icon only makes this comment greater. Me rather gusta reading that post, myself. Sounds like a garden to envy.
I bought a bar of patchuli-rose soap from a renfest once. It was the best bath scent ever, and surprisingly unisex (no partner, so I didn’t care if I smelled like a bouquet. When I like a scent, IT’S ALL MINE.)
I don’t know what you guys are talking about. That whole picture reeks of sexiness. She should totally do the audiobook or movie for 50 Shades of Gray with Gilbert Gottfried, I just can’t imagine anything sexier.
The next time I start to feel old, as if life were passing me by, or I start mourning my lost youth, I am going to look at this outfit. Then I will say to myself: “Self, you were alive at a time when the adults around you wore stuff like this unironically. And you couldn’t do anything about it, because you were a little kid with no control over her surroundings. But now you’re an adult, and you never have to live in that time and place again.” And then I will celebrate, possibly with hookers and blow. (Or a nice lunch and a manicure. I’m flexible.)
I like the style, and the colors… and I’d probably pay $15 or so for a dress like this (minus the mushrooms) for one of my kids. Everything else about the picture makes me feel dirty for admitting that, though.
The dress itself isn’t sexy; it looks like something more appropriate for a 6-year-old. No amount of kale can cure that. (What IS the obsession with kale anyway?)
I’m veggie, but not a hippie. I’m guessing it’s the iron – haem iron from meat is easier for the body to absorb than non-haem iron in veggies, so since kale is high in non haem iron it’s supposed to be a good choice for vegetarians/vegans.
Well, maybe I’ll give it a whirl, thanks to the inexplicable borderline anemia I tend to have. I adore spinach and get chard from the farmer’s market, so maybe I’ll have to investigate kale, as long as that doesn’t brand me a goofy hippie vegan weirdo. I’d rather being an eccentric well-dressed meat-eating weirdo, thank you.
i love that dress, but i would look pregnant in it. because anything with a high waist or no waist makes me look pregnant. and no, i’m not pregnant. (though someone asked me if i was and i vowed never to wear a dress like that again).
Picture this: A remake of “Gone With the Wind”, but instead of the civil war it’s the Occupy Movement, and instead of Scarlett O’Hara’s family manor, it’s a Montessori Kindergarten in Oregon.
Now “Rhett” is coming back from Wall Street, and “Scarlett” had to wear some “business casual” clothes due to health inspectors dropping by. He’ll arrive any minute and would be horrified about her selling out to the man. “Scarlett” is gripping the curtains of the special needs class with barely contained anguish. But hey, wait a minute…
I actually think this dress is okay and kind of cute. Too expensive, not amazing; but not worthy of a Regretsy post. First time I’ve ever thought that you weren’t spot-on with your targets.
Considering that the mushroom is, in fact, the sexual organ (“fruiting body”) for the fungus, I can vaguely understand the “sexy” part of the dress title. Also mushrooms look like penises.
I adore Regretsy, been a long time fan for ever and pretty much visit every day. But it always makes me sad to see a post picking on someone because of the way they look or their personal body choices. By everyone pointing and laughing at someone for having hairy pits (or saggy boobs), it’s kinda saying to everyone who doesn’t conform to narrow social standards of beauty, ‘you better hide yourself away, you are not acceptable’. I love y’all Regretsy, but body policing is a real let down.
Hey, don’t paint all the fat, jealous, and losery with the same brush. You can see that most of the comments picking on the girl have been roundly thumbed down.
Armpit hair is a separate entity. No one said she was a bad human for choosing it, just that it can have an ick factor to some western sensibilities. Should people who dislike armpit hair on women be forced to hide their opinions away? No, of course not.
Fly your pit hair freely, and just smile when people say ick.
But why is armpit hair considered disgusting and unsanitary on women and not men? People were commenting that they wouldn’t buy something a woman with airpit hair had ever worn, but would they buy something a man* had ever modeled?
*Except Abecrombie. I can’t even imagine their model waxing budget.
Probably because even the most meticulously groomed men do not generally shave their armpits. So having armpit hair doesn’t call their grooming habits into question.
For women (depending on the society you’re talking about), it’s less certain. It’s not so much that women who don’t shave are unsanitary as it is that women who are unsanitary are less likely to shave.
I’m not saying it’s fair. I’m not saying I agree with it. I’m not defending it. Only stating what the reasons are likely to be for that perception.
I’m extremely put off by male armpit hair, also. Especially the dudes whose hair is so long it protrudes from their t-shirt sleeves.
I did go a year or so without shaving (I bleached it). I’d never let it go now, tho, because I moved to the desert and realized I sweat more and smell worse with, than without.
I’m not going to point and laugh at anyone for having hairy pits or saggy boobs.
I’m going to shake my head at them for using them to TRY AND SELL A PRODUCT. Because, like it or not, if you want to sell something, you don’t model it in such a way that other people are going to find off-putting unless you find it to be more important to make a statement than money.
Please STFU with the “body policing.” It’ s just a tiresome way to control what other people say.
Unless anyone here is actually creating legislation to force women to shave, they’re not policing your body; they’re voicing an opinion.
Not shaving is a choice, not some unchangeable aspect of your physicality that you were born with. if you use it to sell your product – you are asking for a reaction. Don’t play the policing card when it’s not the reaction you want.
And by the way, most hippies embrace the most “narrow social standards of beauty” imaginable. The reaction in that community to women who shave or tweeze or have implants is really hostile.
I have a serious disease called, “bitchiness” and I think it’s unfair when people expect me to conform to the societal standards of being nice when confronted with shitty crafts or poor sales tactics. I can’t help myself, and think it’s despicable that I am being criticized for actions beyond my control.
I dislike the term “body policing” because it seems to be used mostly by butthurt flouncers, but I’m inclined to agree with you anyway. I don’t find it necessary to criticize someone’s appearance unless it’s blatantly offensive (which armpit hair is not), not even when they’re trying to sell a product with the picture. I’m not saying people *can’t* say armpit hair is nasty, I just think it’s unnecessary. However, this might not be the place to expect political correctness
My biggest problem with her store is that her target audience can’t afford those prices. She has some cute pieces (I even like this dress but mostly because it reminds me of my mom when I was a kid), but I’d never spend that much for a single piece of clothing.
Not necessarily, you forget about the “trustafarians” the trust fund supported young neo-hippies of today. They may spange you on the corner, but they still have a debit card to daddy’s account!
This magnificent piece brings to mind childhood innocence and the simplicity of dreams. I find myself lost in the woodland motiff and the ease in which it allows the wearer to become one with nature. Bravo!
1) It’s Brava for the hippie chick, not Bravo. 2) You WILL be here to do a wine snob interpretation the next time something bottled shows up on Regretsy.
It’s not a romper ( thank heaven), its a “sun” dress smock halter based on a 1960s Simplicity pattern. Made of kitchen curtains. It is really sexy if you are 1) a mushroom 2)a yard gnome 3) a consumer of the kind of mushrooms you can’t buy at Whole Foods or Albertsons.
And, lay off the armpit snubs, hairless-pit types. Himself likes to stick his nose in that fur there too, so there. ( No, Himself is not a dog)
Am laughing so hard as I imagine hippie chick being chased around the yard by animated garden gnomes & those mushrooms from the Disney movie I was forced to watch as a kid.
I have nothing against muumuus I swear! I actually have a few and wear them from time to time. The shape just reminded me of them and the expletive was included because her misuse of terms irritated me to the extreme.
I wouldn’t even call it an apron, unless we’re talking about the kind you wear whilst getting your hair cut. Even then, that’s a drape. And it’s probably just about as useful as that, too.
Rompers look cute on five year olds – once you get past that age, they shouldn’t be worn, ever – doesn’t matter who you are or who designed them, they look like they belong on five year olds.
I love how shes OK with dying her hair funky colors but not shaving her pits or at least tweezing her eye brows. She might be a hippie but shes looking borderline neanderthal!
I had a blue mushroom dress like this when I was pregnant in the ’80s. EXACTLY like this. (My mother-in-law made it for me from a Butterick pattern) This is not sexy. It’s for what happens after sexytimes happen and you have a shotgun wedding and you have to live with your husband’s parents. OK – So I’m projecting. It actually was really comfy and was my favorite maternity dress then and I did like it… 31 years ago… Replace “Sexy” with “retro” and I mi
You’re probably right that it is Butterick & not Simplicity. The Simplicity one allowed for multiple variations including a halter top that boobage actually STAYED IN. Young boobage, anyway. If you cropped this pattern off at ribcage you’d be dealing with gravity, and gravity always wins. Arrgh, the image of this particular halter, de-mushroomed and bra length, with everything escaping.
It’s kind of cute, but something like this would be much more endearing on a little girl rather than an adult. I really see nothing sexy about this dress.
Also with all due respect to the model, I find the expression on her face to be a little creepy. Like she knows something terrible that I don’t, or is plotting something.
Oh well, I enjoyed her friend calling us retarded “looosers”, but now I really need to get back to being a party [proudly!] to hurtful and regressive asininities.
It was glorious. My first real, live flounce viewing. We all eat at McDonalds and buy all of our clothes at Walmart, btw. And our razors are oppressing us.
Hey now, my boyfriend happens to be a fat guy who owns a number of unfortunate shirts, and I have no problem giving him mouth to mouth on a regular basis.
Granted, actual mouth-to-mouth would involve a lot more panicked flailing on my part. I probably would have been the one who would have gotten him into a situation where he needed CPR in the first place, so yeah, on second thought, maybe not that sexy.
May 22, 2012 at 9:33 am
Yikes.
May 22, 2012 at 9:47 am
I actually like it, of fuck does that mean I’m a hippie who likes stinky rompers?
May 22, 2012 at 10:36 am
I’d probably wear it if it looked less like a flour sack and if I wasn’t worried it had been pre-worn by someone who hadn’t pre-washed. Am I a hippie, too? Should I get tested?

August 30, 2012 at 3:39 pm
I think it might have been more impactful if she’d used these mushrooms:
May 22, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Damn it, Swaan, I go away for 2 hours and come back to you launching a discussion of finding Danny DeVito’s prostate (which somehow morphed into discussion of Danny DeVito’s prostitute and how to replace the batteries in him, down in the thread).
That’s ok. I don’t need to eat today.
May 22, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Is there a test for that?
May 22, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Yes there is. It involves kale and razors, I think.
May 22, 2012 at 10:46 am
No, I too think a lot of her stuff is cute and well made. Although, I would not wear it, for fear of bombardment by Rainbow kids. (“Dude…. can we crash at your house? Thanks! LOVIN YOUUUU!”)

May 22, 2012 at 10:56 am
What does it say about me (or her) that I didn’t notice the hairy armpits until I read the commentary?
May 22, 2012 at 2:14 pm
Me, too! I was busy liking the dress. I thought it was on Regretsy because there’s nothing sexy about it. It’s completely formless. Never saw the pit hair.

May 22, 2012 at 10:18 pm
Not much; unlike some of the other posts in this vein, she’s not really flaunting them towards the camera.
May 22, 2012 at 1:10 pm
I spent a few minutes trying to figure out whether or not the hair belonged to her head or her armpits before going to the etsy listing for an alternate angle.
Seamless indeed.

Yeah I don’t have the hate for white-person-dreads that so many do, but those just look nasty.
May 22, 2012 at 6:14 pm
It’s an apron dress. They’ve been around for awhile now. They’re inspired by the “Viking” apron dress.
May 22, 2012 at 6:41 pm
But note the extra panels in the Viking version that give it a defined shape, and compare to the bell skirt that was pulled above boob level and given a strap to keep it there.
Viking apron dress = historical and cultural, as well as pretty with but a modest requirement of skill.
Mushroom apron dress = patterns and fitted clothes are for narcs.
May 23, 2012 at 3:12 am
I need to have that dress!
May 22, 2012 at 9:40 am
Why does being a hippie have to be synonymous with no grooming whatsoever. I’m not just talking about the pit hair. I mean, would it kill this girl to run a comb through that rat’s nest on her head?
May 22, 2012 at 9:47 am
This has always baffled me. I’ve never understood why refusing to groom or clean oneself regularly is considered to be more “natural” when even the most isolated indigenous tribes have standards for grooming.
May 22, 2012 at 9:56 am
Dude – you just don’t get being a hippie.
It’s about rejecting convention (unless it’s a convention you and your friends have agreed upon)
It’s about not playing by the rules of corporate America (except when it comes to using the wire-ACH system when transferring trust fund cash)
It’s about sharing (except when you bought it and marked it in the fridge)
It’s about freedom of expression (unless your expression will bum someone out)
It’s about communal living (until phone bill day)
It’s about living an eco-centric life (but you can still stick strips of plastic talking about your eco-centric life on your bottle-green Volvo)
It’s about living life, man.

Hey, now – leave Volvo out of this! Everyone knows it’s either an old-school VW van or a Prius these days (either of which probably cost too much). Volvos are for those of us with too much stuff/pets/kids to haul but who view a minivan as a failure.
May 22, 2012 at 1:17 pm
High five, volvo buddy!
I don’t want to brag, but my Volvo XC is dependable as fuck. Even if it does make me look like a soccer mom.
May 22, 2012 at 11:51 am
I read that as “ego”-centric at first. Yup.
May 22, 2012 at 12:56 pm
And what about the free love, man?
May 22, 2012 at 2:19 pm
I think the photo drove any idea of free love out of my brain.
As to the Volvo, I was thinking the 1983 station wagon one often sees driving to the potter’s co-op in Bennington. I apologize for not being specific.
May 22, 2012 at 2:26 pm
I love you so hard, Monkey33!

My cats, dogs, birds and assorted rodents have higher standards for grooming.
May 22, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Holy shit, my cat must be a hippy. All this time I thought his lack of grooming habits was because he was probably taken away form his mommy too early.
How wrong I was. He’s clearly sticking it to the Man.

I wonder if she’s holding onto that tree because she is so high that she will fall down if she lets go.

Just because you’re on shrooms doesn’t mean you have to have shrooms on.

now you tell me
May 22, 2012 at 10:13 am
Her expression supports that theory.
May 22, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Something about the way her arm is positioned looks weird, like it’s bending in a way that no human arm should.
May 22, 2012 at 10:35 pm
I think they took the picture just before she gave it a big hug. What we are seeing is arboreal foreplay.

“Sexy” – you keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Of all the words I’ve come up with to describe this dress, “sexy” wasn’t one of them.

I’m not gonna bag on her appearance, but I have no reservations about calling the dress fugly.

What the Hell ever happened to hippies just trying to sell tie-dye t shirts? At least those have sleeves…
May 22, 2012 at 9:44 am
As a cleaner version of the dirty hippie, I would totally wear this.
But after a good shave.
May 22, 2012 at 10:49 am
Dirty hippies give clean hippies like us a bad name.
May 22, 2012 at 10:56 am
But would you wear it to try and catch the eye of the Mr/Ms Wannasnarfthatreallybad? O_ <
May 22, 2012 at 12:05 pm
As a clean-ish dirty hippie, I would never wear this.
And I don’t think I’ve ever had a “good” shave.
May 22, 2012 at 9:45 am
Sexy- you’re doing it wrong.
May 22, 2012 at 9:45 am
“A little more conservative but still sexy.” Oh, I must disagree with you, on both counts. But I’d pay good money to see an actual Conservative wear it – get Ann Coulter or Michele Bachmann in it, take pics, preferably at the GOP Convention, put the prints up for sale, and I’d buy one.

What I don’t understand is why, for the love of all that is holy, do women with hairy armpits love to raise their arms and salute? It’s like it’s the female hippy version of giving all of the rest of us the finger.
May 22, 2012 at 10:08 am
Well, what’s the point of growing out your armpit hair if everyone doesn’t know about it? If you are going to hide it, you might as well just shave and be comfortable, like the rest of the conformists.
May 22, 2012 at 10:10 am
Because shaving my armpits makes them bleed? I’m much more comfortable just wearing cap sleeves and going about my day.
May 22, 2012 at 10:16 am
To each their own. I don’t always bother shaving.
May 22, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Actually, since you have no way of seeing most armpit hair when they’re not raising their arms, you have no idea how many pitty women you see single day with their arms down.
May 22, 2012 at 2:29 pm
Oh, snap.
May 23, 2012 at 9:08 am
My hairy pits are still smooth from chemo. I’m sorta hoping they stay that way. Then I can be smooth AND unshaven!
May 22, 2012 at 9:47 am
The pit hair doesn’t bother me, but the unwashed look does. I’m not going to buy clothes being worn buy someone who looks like they do not bathe.
And as a hippie(I’ve got a godsdamned sunburn on my back from building the beds for our organic heirloom garden yesterday. I wear patchouli. I’m drinking fucking spinach and barely grass juice, and I like it), I really don’t understand this whole mentallity of “I’m a hippie, must not bathe.” I bathe! With handmade soaps, and a patchouli shampoo bar! You can even collect the water from your bath and dump it on your compost!
Bathe before you take pictures wearing a godsdamned dress you are trying to sell!
May 22, 2012 at 9:53 am
Her other models in the store look clean. I guess she is the grungy hippie friend.
May 22, 2012 at 9:57 am
Thank you, you’ve restored my faith in the hippie community. I thought there were none of you left.
May 22, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Your icon only makes this comment greater. Me rather gusta reading that post, myself. Sounds like a garden to envy.
I bought a bar of patchuli-rose soap from a renfest once. It was the best bath scent ever, and surprisingly unisex (no partner, so I didn’t care if I smelled like a bouquet. When I like a scent, IT’S ALL MINE.)
May 22, 2012 at 10:18 am
Only her dreads look unwashed to me…
May 22, 2012 at 12:09 pm
I second this. Nasty-ass hair, but I don’t see anything dirty about her skin. I’m guessing she showers and just doesn’t shampoo for some reason.
May 22, 2012 at 11:08 am
As a fellow clean hippie, I’m glad you said this.
May 22, 2012 at 9:47 am
I don’t know what you guys are talking about. That whole picture reeks of sexiness. She should totally do the audiobook or movie for 50 Shades of Gray with Gilbert Gottfried, I just can’t imagine anything sexier.

May 22, 2012 at 10:29 am
The next time I start to feel old, as if life were passing me by, or I start mourning my lost youth, I am going to look at this outfit. Then I will say to myself: “Self, you were alive at a time when the adults around you wore stuff like this unironically. And you couldn’t do anything about it, because you were a little kid with no control over her surroundings. But now you’re an adult, and you never have to live in that time and place again.” And then I will celebrate, possibly with hookers and blow. (Or a nice lunch and a manicure. I’m flexible.)
May 22, 2012 at 12:03 pm
It always strikes me as odd, the term blow for cocaine. Cos that is the last thing you want to do to that neatly racked line…
May 22, 2012 at 2:34 pm
And don’t inhale just a little, because then you’ll sneeze. Not that there aren’t people who would jump at coke that’s been sneezed on, if it’s free.
May 22, 2012 at 2:41 pm
Right! “Blowjob” doesn’t really make sense, either.
May 22, 2012 at 5:19 pm
I think that’s because it used to be called a ‘below job’.
Sound convincing? Good, coz I just made that up.
May 22, 2012 at 9:52 am
I like the style, and the colors… and I’d probably pay $15 or so for a dress like this (minus the mushrooms) for one of my kids. Everything else about the picture makes me feel dirty for admitting that, though.

May 22, 2012 at 10:23 am
I don’t understand why people keep making stuff that make the wearer look like they’re wearing a dirty sheep.
May 22, 2012 at 2:50 pm
Because dirty sheep are harder to get and more expensive.
May 22, 2012 at 9:54 am
The dress itself isn’t sexy; it looks like something more appropriate for a 6-year-old. No amount of kale can cure that. (What IS the obsession with kale anyway?)
May 22, 2012 at 10:42 am
I’m veggie, but not a hippie. I’m guessing it’s the iron – haem iron from meat is easier for the body to absorb than non-haem iron in veggies, so since kale is high in non haem iron it’s supposed to be a good choice for vegetarians/vegans.
May 22, 2012 at 12:25 pm
Well, maybe I’ll give it a whirl, thanks to the inexplicable borderline anemia I tend to have. I adore spinach and get chard from the farmer’s market, so maybe I’ll have to investigate kale, as long as that doesn’t brand me a goofy hippie vegan weirdo. I’d rather being an eccentric well-dressed meat-eating weirdo, thank you.
May 22, 2012 at 12:45 pm
An eccentric well-dressed meat-eating weirdo CLOSET KALE CONSUMER … it’s OK, you’re not alone …
May 22, 2012 at 2:29 pm
Put bacon on your kale, and make a face while you’re eating it. And whatever you do, do NOT wear this dress or anything remotely like it.
People will understand that you’re not a hippie vegan weirdo. They’ll just assume you’re being forced to eat kale for your health or something.
May 22, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Vagrarian to always too well-dressed to wear this dress.
May 22, 2012 at 12:12 pm
I think it would be freaking adorable on a kid.
I like kale in some situations, but the obsession is totally weird.
May 22, 2012 at 12:27 pm
Absolutely. Seeing this dress on an adorable kid at a picnic would make me smile broadly and give the parents an approving look.
Seeing it on an adult…well, I’ll move to another part of the bus and focus more on my book.
May 22, 2012 at 9:56 am
i love that dress, but i would look pregnant in it. because anything with a high waist or no waist makes me look pregnant. and no, i’m not pregnant. (though someone asked me if i was and i vowed never to wear a dress like that again).
May 22, 2012 at 10:25 am
You and me both. Everything with a high waist makes me look a few months along.

Picture this: A remake of “Gone With the Wind”, but instead of the civil war it’s the Occupy Movement, and instead of Scarlett O’Hara’s family manor, it’s a Montessori Kindergarten in Oregon.
Now “Rhett” is coming back from Wall Street, and “Scarlett” had to wear some “business casual” clothes due to health inspectors dropping by. He’ll arrive any minute and would be horrified about her selling out to the man. “Scarlett” is gripping the curtains of the special needs class with barely contained anguish. But hey, wait a minute…

I actually think this dress is okay and kind of cute. Too expensive, not amazing; but not worthy of a Regretsy post. First time I’ve ever thought that you weren’t spot-on with your targets.

Considering that the mushroom is, in fact, the sexual organ (“fruiting body”) for the fungus, I can vaguely understand the “sexy” part of the dress title. Also mushrooms look like penises.
But that’s the only thing sexy about that dress.
Maybe she meant “funky”
May 22, 2012 at 2:31 pm
I’ll never see mushrooms the same way again.

I will say that the dirt gives the model a lovely patina.

I adore Regretsy, been a long time fan for ever and pretty much visit every day. But it always makes me sad to see a post picking on someone because of the way they look or their personal body choices. By everyone pointing and laughing at someone for having hairy pits (or saggy boobs), it’s kinda saying to everyone who doesn’t conform to narrow social standards of beauty, ‘you better hide yourself away, you are not acceptable’. I love y’all Regretsy, but body policing is a real let down.
May 22, 2012 at 11:29 am
Hey, don’t paint all the fat, jealous, and losery with the same brush. You can see that most of the comments picking on the girl have been roundly thumbed down.
Armpit hair is a separate entity. No one said she was a bad human for choosing it, just that it can have an ick factor to some western sensibilities. Should people who dislike armpit hair on women be forced to hide their opinions away? No, of course not.
Fly your pit hair freely, and just smile when people say ick.
May 22, 2012 at 12:16 pm
But why is armpit hair considered disgusting and unsanitary on women and not men? People were commenting that they wouldn’t buy something a woman with airpit hair had ever worn, but would they buy something a man* had ever modeled?
*Except Abecrombie. I can’t even imagine their model waxing budget.
May 22, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Probably because even the most meticulously groomed men do not generally shave their armpits. So having armpit hair doesn’t call their grooming habits into question.
For women (depending on the society you’re talking about), it’s less certain. It’s not so much that women who don’t shave are unsanitary as it is that women who are unsanitary are less likely to shave.
I’m not saying it’s fair. I’m not saying I agree with it. I’m not defending it. Only stating what the reasons are likely to be for that perception.
May 22, 2012 at 5:25 pm
I dislike armpit hair on men as well
May 22, 2012 at 6:01 pm
I’m extremely put off by male armpit hair, also. Especially the dudes whose hair is so long it protrudes from their t-shirt sleeves.
I did go a year or so without shaving (I bleached it). I’d never let it go now, tho, because I moved to the desert and realized I sweat more and smell worse with, than without.
May 22, 2012 at 10:44 pm
Yes!! What is it with those guys with pit hair hanging out of their tee shirts? I think it is even worse than gorilla back.
May 23, 2012 at 1:01 am
I’d say most male models DO shave their pits though.
May 22, 2012 at 12:12 pm
I’m not going to point and laugh at anyone for having hairy pits or saggy boobs.
I’m going to shake my head at them for using them to TRY AND SELL A PRODUCT. Because, like it or not, if you want to sell something, you don’t model it in such a way that other people are going to find off-putting unless you find it to be more important to make a statement than money.
May 22, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Please STFU with the “body policing.” It’ s just a tiresome way to control what other people say.
Unless anyone here is actually creating legislation to force women to shave, they’re not policing your body; they’re voicing an opinion.
Not shaving is a choice, not some unchangeable aspect of your physicality that you were born with. if you use it to sell your product – you are asking for a reaction. Don’t play the policing card when it’s not the reaction you want.
May 22, 2012 at 12:25 pm
And by the way, most hippies embrace the most “narrow social standards of beauty” imaginable. The reaction in that community to women who shave or tweeze or have implants is really hostile.
May 22, 2012 at 12:32 pm
Brava. These groups that start a “non-conforming” policy invariably have a conformity of their own. And heaven help you if you don’t conform.
May 22, 2012 at 1:37 pm
I have a serious disease called, “bitchiness” and I think it’s unfair when people expect me to conform to the societal standards of being nice when confronted with shitty crafts or poor sales tactics. I can’t help myself, and think it’s despicable that I am being criticized for actions beyond my control.

May 22, 2012 at 2:50 pm
I dislike the term “body policing” because it seems to be used mostly by butthurt flouncers, but I’m inclined to agree with you anyway. I don’t find it necessary to criticize someone’s appearance unless it’s blatantly offensive (which armpit hair is not), not even when they’re trying to sell a product with the picture. I’m not saying people *can’t* say armpit hair is nasty, I just think it’s unnecessary. However, this might not be the place to expect political correctness
May 22, 2012 at 3:42 pm
Surprised it took this long for a post like this to pop up. >_< Every single friggin time…

Crack lords know that once you start sampling the product, it’s all downhill from there.
May 22, 2012 at 11:30 am
My biggest problem with her store is that her target audience can’t afford those prices. She has some cute pieces (I even like this dress but mostly because it reminds me of my mom when I was a kid), but I’d never spend that much for a single piece of clothing.
May 22, 2012 at 12:14 pm
But . . . it’s CLEARANCE. So it must be a bargain!
May 22, 2012 at 4:01 pm
Not necessarily, you forget about the “trustafarians” the trust fund supported young neo-hippies of today. They may spange you on the corner, but they still have a debit card to daddy’s account!

She can stitch, though. That’s a plus.

This magnificent piece brings to mind childhood innocence and the simplicity of dreams. I find myself lost in the woodland motiff and the ease in which it allows the wearer to become one with nature. Bravo!

1) It’s Brava for the hippie chick, not Bravo. 2) You WILL be here to do a wine snob interpretation the next time something bottled shows up on Regretsy.

It’s not a romper ( thank heaven), its a “sun” dress smock halter based on a 1960s Simplicity pattern. Made of kitchen curtains. It is really sexy if you are 1) a mushroom 2)a yard gnome 3) a consumer of the kind of mushrooms you can’t buy at Whole Foods or Albertsons.
And, lay off the armpit snubs, hairless-pit types. Himself likes to stick his nose in that fur there too, so there. ( No, Himself is not a dog)

Am laughing so hard as I imagine hippie chick being chased around the yard by animated garden gnomes & those mushrooms from the Disney movie I was forced to watch as a kid.

sh!t. I thought this was fake :/

Sometimes it is preferable when there is not say anything.
And sometimes it’s better when you do not see any.
May 22, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Right!

Am I the only person trying to figure out how to find out where Danny DeVito’s prostitute is hiding?
May 22, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Yes.
May 22, 2012 at 2:02 pm
I thumbed down a Helen Killer post! Yeah! Oh….hold it… Am I violating some sort of thread etiquette?
May 22, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Why do you want to buy sex with Danny de Vito?
I’m trying to imagine it.
I’m getting my mind, how to change the batteries Danny de Vito.
May 22, 2012 at 2:23 pm
Great, NOW you’ve given Petja reason to think of how to replace the batteries in Danny DeVito.
Not an image or idea I want in my head!!!
May 22, 2012 at 2:58 pm
Now THERE is a mental image worthy of lulz.
May 23, 2012 at 12:18 pm
I would gladly help Danny DeVito find his prostate. Or prostitute. Or spare batteries. I’d totally tap that.
May 22, 2012 at 1:43 pm
That is a fucking muumuu. Rompers conform to narrow social standards of beauty, like so:
May 22, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Don’t bring the Mu’u Mu’u into this! That can be a beautiful and flattering dress.
What she’s wearing is just an apron.
May 22, 2012 at 2:21 pm
Rompers can be so cute…but I cringe when I see them. For a long-waisted woman? Too painful to be cute.
May 22, 2012 at 3:55 pm
I have nothing against muumuus I swear! I actually have a few and wear them from time to time. The shape just reminded me of them and the expletive was included because her misuse of terms irritated me to the extreme.
I wouldn’t even call it an apron, unless we’re talking about the kind you wear whilst getting your hair cut. Even then, that’s a drape. And it’s probably just about as useful as that, too.
May 22, 2012 at 10:36 pm
An ugly and overpriced apron.
May 22, 2012 at 5:30 pm
Rompers look cute on five year olds – once you get past that age, they shouldn’t be worn, ever – doesn’t matter who you are or who designed them, they look like they belong on five year olds.
May 22, 2012 at 9:24 pm
Agreed. They creep me out on adult women. We’re infantilized enough, tyvm.

I had a blue mushroom dress like this when I was pregnant in the ’80s. EXACTLY like this. (My mother-in-law made it for me from a Butterick pattern) This is not sexy. It’s for what happens after sexytimes happen and you have a shotgun wedding and you have to live with your husband’s parents. OK – So I’m projecting. It actually was really comfy and was my favorite maternity dress then and I did like it… 31 years ago… Replace “Sexy” with “retro” and I mi
May 22, 2012 at 2:24 pm
Just read up… It very well might have been a Simplicity pattern… But I hold with the replacing “Sexy” with “Retro” and it might be acceptable…
May 22, 2012 at 5:03 pm
You’re probably right that it is Butterick & not Simplicity. The Simplicity one allowed for multiple variations including a halter top that boobage actually STAYED IN. Young boobage, anyway. If you cropped this pattern off at ribcage you’d be dealing with gravity, and gravity always wins. Arrgh, the image of this particular halter, de-mushroomed and bra length, with everything escaping.

The dress is cute, don’t get me wrong… Just not at the price she’s wanting…. and not on an adult.

I actually think the model looks kinda cute in some of her other photos. Like she’s a bit embarrassed and shy about having her photo taken.
Having said that, though, this one isn’t flattering in any way, shape or form.
May 22, 2012 at 6:03 pm
It’s kind of cute, but something like this would be much more endearing on a little girl rather than an adult. I really see nothing sexy about this dress.
Also with all due respect to the model, I find the expression on her face to be a little creepy. Like she knows something terrible that I don’t, or is plotting something.
May 22, 2012 at 6:08 pm
Damn, I missed the FB flounce?
May 22, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Oh well, I enjoyed her friend calling us retarded “looosers”, but now I really need to get back to being a party [proudly!] to hurtful and regressive asininities.
May 22, 2012 at 7:45 pm
It was glorious. My first real, live flounce viewing. We all eat at McDonalds and buy all of our clothes at Walmart, btw. And our razors are oppressing us.
May 23, 2012 at 10:12 am
Damn you Regretsy – why do you have to be on the other side of the ocean? I miss all the live flouncing!
May 22, 2012 at 6:11 pm
Hey now, my boyfriend happens to be a fat guy who owns a number of unfortunate shirts, and I have no problem giving him mouth to mouth on a regular basis.
Granted, actual mouth-to-mouth would involve a lot more panicked flailing on my part. I probably would have been the one who would have gotten him into a situation where he needed CPR in the first place, so yeah, on second thought, maybe not that sexy.
May 22, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Haha! I was about to say! My boyfriend is a sexy fat guy too… but he thinks that it’s okay to wear tattered shirts because they’re “old mates.”
I’d have no problem ripping the horrible shirt off him and giving him “mouth to mouth” for a while.
May 22, 2012 at 9:21 pm
If only there could be a Regretsy theatre for the Danny Devito line, omigod I would die!

I really dig how her armpit hair has grown to the extent that her right armpit is now dreading (sp?) into her actual dreads.
