I love it when thrift stores set up their own makeshift racks of Christmas clothing. They usually comprise of obnoxiously festive Christmas sweaters that nobody under 65 would be caught dead in or shoulder pad dresses from the 1980s that nobody would be caught dead wearing, period. I don't usually bother looking through them, but this time was different. Between the layers of puffy paint and crushed velvet, I found this $3 handmade wonder.


It sure beats paying $200 for last season's FCUK. Remember this shirtdress?

Also, check out my interview over at the
Humane Recipe.

Oh my God that dress is so cool it's making my teeth hurt.
Cool dress. And I can sooo agree to the decribing of all the apparently X-mas-ish clothes that thrith stores seems to collect through the year, only for trying to seeling it in December month...
I like the dress. Are you going to shorten it? That's what I would do. Of course, I have a tendency to sluttify my hemlines slightly. I can just never leave it at my knees.
You always find the best things in thrift stores!
WOW thats a fantastic find!
its gorgeous, and for three dollars...unbelievable!
This is almost the first sack-like dress I've liked on anybody. What a great find! Also, don't touch the length, it's perfect as is.
