Didnt we used to have such a thread about making 'designer' costumes? LOL I remember smth like that...

Ah, that costume certainly has Amulya's signature style, doesn't it?

You are absolutely nuts, my dear. Have I told you lately that I appreciate you?

I just needed something to practise some Photoshop stuff on and thought: why not a rediculously ugly costume? I was mucking around with layers and stuff, of course this thing doesn't look that good because I wasn't serious about it

I think this one is pretty thought provoking:

It's being sold as professional costume.

Well it goes to the heart of the matter...dear me, someone didn't know when to stop embellishing!

Yup, my thoughts are definitely provoked.

Just found this one - the bra looks lingerie-ish and I can't work out why, lime green is hardly one of your standard colours, and why would you have a belt to match?

Maybe it's that the fabric and straps are so uncovered-looking.

this is starting to look like the St. Patricks edition! I think that belt in that last one is made from cut up matching panties.... I just realized that the model is in black and white- perhaps the green was photoshopped in?

It's hard to see on such a small picture, but the flowers on the bra are placed closer together than the ones on the belt, so if they would have matched that up, it would help. I'm not a fan of that color, but some dancers like it.

what? you're not liking the day-glo colors?

Can you imagine the horrible costume we could make if we all chipped in!
