Robin sent this link from Regretsy — you must click through and read all the comments. I try to stay off Regretsy as there are not enough hours in the day as it is, but if you see anything as miraculously demented as this, please feel free to send me a link.
Of course, when I was looking at it, I thought, "Wow, if they had just hoiked it up a bit so that the flappy eyebrows were the top of the dress, this might actually work." Then I thought "Man, it would be horrible to try to get crumbs out of that skirt." Then I decided I needed more caffeine, and went and got some.
What does this dress make you think you need? Other than a strong drink and a hug from a *live* Muppet? And has anyone cross-referenced this dress with the Muppet Wikia to see what beloved character was trapped and skinned to make this7?
Im gonna have nightmares about that dress.

Hm – the eyes on top of the dress may have created a somewhat unfortunate co-placement…As a costume, it is sort of cute, though…

I have to admit, I adore this dress. I would want it if I found it in my size. But I most certainly cannot be blamed because I have a background in literature and education of young children that has obviously messed with me big time. LOVE the post, thanks!

To me, the most baffling thing about this dress is the effort put into it. BONING? Invisible zippers? Crikey.

The Muppet in question, I believe, is Red Fraggle from Fraggle Rock. Its very odd indeed.

I havent even ventured to Regretsy yet–Im saving it for my lunch hour(s) (ha), but I wanted to say that this dress is…well, uniquely fabulous. Its as witty as anything Castelbajac did in the 80s (anyone remember the teddy-bear coat?, and as wonderfully silly (and gutsy) as Bjrks hilarious swan dress.Could a muppet-themed red-carpet moment be on the horizon?

Oh, there is one more that is not just miraculously demented, its highly disturbing and wrecktastic as well – its craftastrophe.net – its tagline: because handmade isnt always pretty.Just a warning – often the posts are NSFW. It was through craftastrophe, though, that I learned that taxidermy truly knows no bounds; some people who felt wool should be taken out back and horsewhipped, and yet others shouldnt be allowed within 20 MILES of a sewing machine.
