From NancyKay, who forwarded this to me with the subject line "possibly the worst dress ever photographed":
The sad thing is that in 1980-whatever, I might have actually wanted to wear this, sans puffy sleeves.

It would make a great shrunken Alice in Wonderland costume.

I just noticed that the sleeves are sheer. I wouldn’t have said that it could get worse. But, it just did.

First instinct… We have a commercial here in New York… “I pick things up and I put them down…” for Planet Fitness. A big-body builder type with an Austrian accent mindlessly chants this phrase as he gets a tour of the gym.

That dress looks like a 6 year old had a (rather unlikely) dress for a bigger doll but decided to put it on her Barbie doll. Barbie is getting lost in it, the dress is wearing her!

@ Steffani RE: “Ahhh ’80s Victorian revival! This is so much like the styles little Victorian/Edwardian era girls wore…Ann of Green Gables would be in heaven! But why oh why would a grown woman wear anything like this? Blech.”
At least one other grown woman did: http://www.altfg.com/Stars/w/what-ever-happened-to-baby-jane-bette-davis-1.jpg

This is horrific, but it wouldn’t be difficult to make it lovely, really. Take off the sleeves, the horribly placed sash and about a foot of the length and you’d have a lovely trapeze dress.
