Description

When life hands you luxurious silk chiffon featuring a random assortment of characters from non-consecutive seasons of South Park, you buy three yards and make the girliest dress imaginable out of it. Obviously.
Made with McCall’s 6024, this dress started out as a joke. I found the fabric online and teased my boyfriend about actually buying it. His reaction — a horrified “Oh, please don’t” — made it painfully clear I had no choice. This dress had to happen.
Material Notes
100% silk chiffon featuring a South Park print, purchased from a vendor in China via ebay. Underlined with a mystery satin, probably a polyester/acetate blend. Flounces are silk habotai.

I love the fabric and I love what you did with it… This really is unique! Only question left: who ever came up with the idea of printing South Park figures on silk?!

Cool! Really girly with the lavender flounce, yet humoristic.

this dress I’d love to wear to my work – just to show my attitude (who understands – will understand)
