This listing is just for the kitten sundress. The dog dress is listed separately. $178 is a lot of dinero for a half an hour’s worth of sewing and some fabric from an old lady’s musty sewing stash.
Now, y’see, this would be perfect for Vagrarian’s Fucked-Up Wedding Planning Service. Only the bridesmaids would have to be coached to maintain that expression during the entire ceremony, reception and all. These would be great at a Monsters-Attack-The-Tiki-Bar theme wedding.
The VERY first thing I though of when I saw the first photo was “Whoa, ‘Shining’ anyone?”
Then I scrolled down.
So happy I am not as mentally deranged as I thought I was.
Either that, or April is just as (if not more so) mentally deranged as I am
I just looked at the insane price for the amount of sewing done. My humor clavicle seems to be broken.
So I went back and looked at the looked at the two. I still think the price is the scariest. But I would run very fast if I saw them.
…and the “vintage barkcloth panel” was not the inspiration for this, it was the material used!
That’s not “inspiration”, that’s just “I have this and need to make something out of it to sell”
Judging from the second pic (that also made me happy I was not alone with this association), ‘You and your beloved ones in your favourite horror movie’ should be the next trend in this customized family photo business.
Haven’t watched the Shining but I got what it was.
But for about 10 seconds I thought that old idea of mine, for a site that explains regretsy cultural references, is not bad at all. (regretsyexplained.com?)
does she have creepy pig and bunny masks for your tuxedoed wedding guests? (if you don’t get that reference, you need to watch the shining more closely!) Timmy says “noihsaf rednulb!”
I love them, but then I made myself a dress out of out some horrifying vintage curtains with a loud splashy print of blue, pink, and yellow dogs, so that’s the kind of person I am.
I’m sorry, I fucking love these dresses. I now want to plan a wedding entirely around them even though I am not getting married.
Or I need to put the fabric in a giant frame and design a room around it.
Or put it on a billboard and design a city around it.
He doesn’t have a public email address, but you can find his son, Joe Hill (who’s also a writer), on Twitter: http://twitter.com/joe_hill. Maybe he’ll pass it along to Dad?
Hey I just had an idea. This seller could do Stephen King inspired dresses.
Carrie – all red.
Shining – got it.
Pet Semarary – same as this one but the fabric puppies and kittens have to look dead.

Ok, at the risk of retribution from Helen/April (which I’m REALLY hoping won’t happen)…”perfect for a wedding”..It screams “I like pussy & I like it doggie style”! (holding breath, not knowing if I’ve crossed the line here).
Can someone PLEASE post the last photo of this listing on Etsy (I am too thick to work it out) and then please explain it to me before I go nuts??? Pretty pleeeaase???!
He’s their Evil Overlord…and the one on the left has displeased him and knows that she will soon be tasting the Whip o’ Fire…and the one on the right will be swinging it.
I was watching a documentary about Josef Mengele and I saw a photo of two twins and it seriously looked like the photo in that listing, I swear it does. Now only if I could find that documentary…
I don’t know whether puppy-girl has a short body or long arms but it does look like she could just reach out and grab one by the throat. From the other end of the corridor….
August 30, 2012 at 9:33 am
COME PLAY WITH US!!!!
August 30, 2012 at 9:41 am
Forever and ever and ever.
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.
August 30, 2012 at 9:49 am
My next thought was “Wow, they Photoshopped Shelley Duvall onto the model on the left!”
August 30, 2012 at 2:40 pm
Right? I was scrambling to type “Come play with us, Danny!” before scrolling down and realizing that, of course, Helen had gone there first.
August 30, 2012 at 2:48 pm
Aaaaand, reading on, I see that literally everyone had the same thought. Don’t mind me! I’ll just be hanging over here with Scatman Crothers.
August 30, 2012 at 9:34 am
Buy the kitty and puppy for your bridesmaids to wear in the most F**KED up wedding ever.
August 30, 2012 at 9:50 am
The only possible excuse would be if you had been in their weddings and they had made you wear, respectively, orange taffeta and a giant butt bow.
August 30, 2012 at 9:55 am
They will make the bride look really, really good by comparison.
August 30, 2012 at 9:18 pm
And the groom, and the mother and grandmother of the bride, and…….
August 30, 2012 at 10:06 am
The D.J. couldn’t find the Tchaikovsky piece I wanted to walk down the aisle to, but he did find the meowed version and actually suggested it.
So we have the bridesmaids dresses and the perfect accompaniment. I smell an Etsy Blog wedding feature.

August 30, 2012 at 11:38 am
Why, those are the perfect dresses to wear to the wedding of your Uncle and Aunt who happen to be marrying each other. In the woods. In the Ozarks.
August 30, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Wait, is this a rerun of the hobo wedding?
August 30, 2012 at 4:04 pm
well at least it is not the OTHER kind of kitten right….
August 30, 2012 at 9:34 am
Can you guess which one’s the “evil twin”?
August 30, 2012 at 9:41 am
It might be the one with the Satan tattoo on the back of her arm in the other picture. Unless the tattoo is a satyr, in which case she’s the good one.
August 30, 2012 at 9:50 am
I’ll give you a hint: it’s the one on the left that looks totally fucking evil.
August 30, 2012 at 10:03 am
That’s Pan.
August 30, 2012 at 9:50 am
Trick question; it’s both of them.
August 30, 2012 at 10:53 am
I always mess up on good vs. evil! What’s that, God? Kill the uncircumcised? OK, but won’t I break some other rules finding out who is and isn’t?
August 30, 2012 at 10:40 am
They’re both evil. Creepy Kilt-Wearer is their puppet-master.
August 30, 2012 at 10:52 am
He’s the one who gets to decide which virgin to throw into the fire.
August 30, 2012 at 10:55 am
Hint: It’s the one who weighs the same as a duck.
August 30, 2012 at 10:58 am
Or a very small stone (which also floats).
August 30, 2012 at 11:27 am
I think you know where that small stone is meant to go.
August 30, 2012 at 11:39 am
Yes, Ma’am…..(sadly places stone on taint)
August 30, 2012 at 9:19 pm
the one who made the dresses?

So happy I am not as mentally deranged as I thought I was.
Either that, or April is just as (if not more so) mentally deranged as I am

Home, home on derange,
Where the whimsicle fuckery reigns!
August 30, 2012 at 10:20 am
I just looked at the insane price for the amount of sewing done. My humor clavicle seems to be broken.
So I went back and looked at the looked at the two. I still think the price is the scariest. But I would run very fast if I saw them.
August 30, 2012 at 10:37 am
I think I saw the pattern in a girls’ magazine from 1976. In an article titled, “Turn Your Pillowcase Into a Summer Top!”.
But to be fair, a lot of stuff on etsy was inspired by that issue.
August 30, 2012 at 9:36 am
Bitchin’ dress. I love just putting the kitty right out there.
August 30, 2012 at 9:37 am
Oh sweet Jesus! I can never unsee this. I hate you!
August 30, 2012 at 9:37 am
…and the “vintage barkcloth panel” was not the inspiration for this, it was the material used!
That’s not “inspiration”, that’s just “I have this and need to make something out of it to sell”
August 30, 2012 at 10:20 am
unless smoking it helped them come up with an idea for the dress.
August 30, 2012 at 10:48 am
Bark cloth would be awfully uncomfortable, too – it’s usually used for curtains. – not counting wearing a giant kitten or dog!
August 30, 2012 at 12:56 pm
You would just wear it over your hair shirt and rubber body suit for that layered discomfort effect.
August 31, 2012 at 9:22 am
…but will it clash with my box-of-broken-glass shoes?
August 31, 2012 at 9:24 am
Ah. I for realz thought the creator had PAINTED those designs on the front of the dresses and that’s why they cost so much.
Because, yeah, “inspired by” is not the same as “made from.”

I just finished reading The Shining about 5 minutes ago. Too funny.
August 30, 2012 at 9:45 am
What you fail to notice is that only one is barkcloth. The other is obviously meowcloth.
August 30, 2012 at 9:52 am
Many thumps up for this comment.
August 30, 2012 at 10:27 am
They both have a bit of a tooth to them, but meowcloth is a bit purrier.
August 30, 2012 at 9:46 am
If you remember 1960′s kitten, you weren’t really there, man.
August 30, 2012 at 9:46 am

August 30, 2012 at 9:41 pm
I might actually buy one were that the case.
August 30, 2012 at 9:48 am
More weddings need a tidal wave of blood.
August 30, 2012 at 9:58 am
A new, trendy substitute for flower petals perhaps? Move aside feathers!
August 30, 2012 at 10:07 am
I baked an appropriate cake!
August 30, 2012 at 10:57 am
Carrie on.
August 30, 2012 at 11:13 am
This is what a girl makes as a sincere thank-you to her mom for the Red Tent Party. OK, so it’s a sarcastic thank-you…and a warning to the mom.
August 30, 2012 at 12:52 pm
They’re gonna laugh at … this cake.
September 9, 2012 at 5:54 am
That’s how you prove she was a virgin!
August 30, 2012 at 9:50 am
All work and no play makes this Etsy seller a delusional hack.
August 30, 2012 at 9:52 am
does she have creepy pig and bunny masks for your tuxedoed wedding guests? (if you don’t get that reference, you need to watch the shining more closely!) Timmy says “noihsaf rednulb!”
August 30, 2012 at 11:13 am
Actually made me think of “Mephisto.”
August 30, 2012 at 9:53 am
I love them, but then I made myself a dress out of out some horrifying vintage curtains with a loud splashy print of blue, pink, and yellow dogs, so that’s the kind of person I am.
You can buy the dog fabric here on etsy and make a dress for a lot cheaper than these. No kitty fabric though

Thinking I need to create a wedding board on Pinterest even though I’m already married, just to pin these beauties.
August 30, 2012 at 10:15 am
i think they would be adorable dresses for a little girl. but i’m a cat freak, so.
August 30, 2012 at 3:06 pm
A “little girl” with a 40″ bust and 48″ hips?

Can the bridesmaids to the wedding of my kitten to my puppy wear them?
August 30, 2012 at 11:01 am
Only if they want front row seats for THE APOCALYPSE!!! As foretold by Bill Murray in Ghostbusters.
August 30, 2012 at 1:41 pm
I just realized we never had a wedding for the cat and the dog! They’be been living in sin!
August 30, 2012 at 9:32 pm
Not so sure. That kitten looks like it is trying to escape.

He would totally laugh his ass off tho.

Just use this same fabric and Sharpie x’s over their pupils.
August 30, 2012 at 10:17 am
Just what is that kitten holding? Looks mighty afraid that the dog is gonna take it away, whatever it is…
August 30, 2012 at 10:21 am
August 30, 2012 at 10:27 am
Compared to some bridesmaid’s dresses, this isn’t that bad..it’s horrible, but so is pink flammable fabric.
August 30, 2012 at 10:30 am
I take it all back, this is horrible. This store looks like the place where Twatlight readers shop before they go the their 50 Shades themed parties.

August 30, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Having a Whip o’ Fire is why he’s wearing a kilt made of welder’s apron. Gabardine slacks won’t contain that rascal.
August 30, 2012 at 2:39 pm
Isn’t “Whip o’ Fire” a side effect of gonorrhea?

The kilt is one thing but with cowboy boots and his mom’s vest? Guess I’m just not hip enough to appreciate it (sigh of relief).
