asos lace overlay crini dress

just wow.

There’s something to be said for making a truly constructed garment out of sheer material.  That’s no easy feat, since sheer usually means flimsy.  But pair ultra-strong organza (or organdy) with methodically-placed boning and you end up with a true marvel of structure.

One of my temp job duties is to peruse StyleSight for design inspiration.  You may ask yourself “How much inspiration does a shirt designer need, really?” A lot.  There’s just too much out there, and the slightest variation in length or cut can make or break an order.

Case in point: we all own a white shirt, right?  But when’s the last time you saw a white organza shirt that didn’t have buttons down the front, predictable sleeves and overkill princess seaming?  Anyway, I spotted this beauty on StyleSight last week and couldn’t get it out of my head.  So here it is!

I have some questions about this dress, worn by Mia Wasikowska of Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland:

1. Does Mia wear this dress in the film? (I hope so!)
2. What is going on with the skirt?  Can we get someone from Clients from Hell to zoom this baby out?
3. Where can I find fabric that resembles that organza heart print overlay, because I’m totally dying over here?
4. Scrap that.  Where can I find this dress??

And biggest question of all: Who’s as excited as I am to see this film?
