This dress just jumped to the top of my wishlist.



nancy and i tried on this dress in pink at a consignment store in providence! HOW STRANGE. 

right, because we really need another way to remind guys that essentially we’re just pieces of meat, it’s totally okay to look at us as such. [/sarcasm] >__< (NO.)

For the love of Christ, REALLY? Like we really needed another reason to dislike the hipster movement.
SEXISM ISN’T IRONIC, GUYS, IT’S REAL.
The fact that a girl co-designed this, disgusts me.



If she designed a dress intended to bring attention to those parts of the woman wearing it without specifically labeling them, would that be better?  To me, this isn’t irony, this is satire.  The difference may be semantic, but it’s important because this isn’t a celebration of the objectification of women as much as it is a satirical hyper-objectification through labels rather than design features to point out a fundamental flaw in our society’s approach to clothing design.  That was my first thought in seeing the image, at least.  I’d have to ask the designer what she intended to really know.
