Dresses and Skirts

Screen Shot 2013-05-21 at 5.16.43 PM

When a Mom in Murray, Utah found out that her 4th-grade daughter had been bullying another child about her clothes, she came up with a particularly apt form of punishment. She decided to send her own daughter to school in ugly outfits that look like rejects from Little House on the Prairie.

The punishment included two different outfits that her daughter had to wear on two different days in a row. You might think it was a bit harsh, but it worked. The child heard other kids picking on her behind her back and told her Mom she wouldn’t do it anymore “because it’s stupid and it’s mean. It hurts them.” Well done, Mom.

Don’t just walk down the street, light it up. Becky Stern has figured out how to incorporate LEDs and a Flora motion sensor into a sparkletastic skirt that will dazzle passersby as you sashay past (that’s the only way you can walk in skirt like that).

Watch and learn after the break.

We’re all in for a wait until new episodes of Doctor Who air this fall, but Her Universe has introduced two great new items that will make the wait a little more bearable. First there’s the Doctor Who Companion T-Shirt that’s the perfect love letter for Who fans. Then there’s the TARDIS dress that features everyone’s favorite blue box emblazoned on a a Union Jack tank dress. You’ll probably need both because November is a long way off.

These tank dresses will have you sporting some seriously sexy superhero style. You can pick Spider-Girl, Captain America or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, all in 95/5 cotton/spandex for a curve-hugging fit. Peter Parker is going to forget all about Mary Jane when he sees you in one of these dresses.

Harley Quinn tank dress

Harley Quinn manages to be cute as a button despite her mean streak. You can emulate some of her spunk with this red and black tank dress from Stylin Online. If you want to push the jester look over the edge, pair the top with these Harley tights.

Piranha dress

This piranha plant might look mean, but it’s actually bright and friendly in this setting. I like the colorful design and the subtle nod to Super Mario Bros. In fact, the dress is made by Subtle Nerd with the intent of being stealthy. No word on pricing yet, but you can contact them through the link above to commission an evil plant dress of your very own.

batman tutu

A full superhero suit has got to get stuffy and uncomfortable in the hot months of summer, especially Batman’s costume. It looks like it would be suffocating on even cool days. This lace up tutu from Hot Topic is a nice alternative when you feel like looking like a hero without suffering in spandex or body armor.

Her Universe is rolling out the red carpet to Hot Topic to celebrate the Star Wars holiday May the 4th! They’ve designed new t-shirts, tank tops, and dresses for the retail chain and you’ll only be able to get them on the Hot Topic website or in stores. It’s hard to choose what to purchase!

There are the adorable Japanese poster dresses we teased last week, a Han Solo t-shirt, an Empire Strikes Back poster t-shirt, a Day of the Dead style Boba Fett tank, and a Darth Vader tank. I’m not kidding when I say I want one of each.

Check out the whole line up after the break.

back dress

Something tells me 15-year old art student Demi Barnes has a future as an artist and that she’ll make art that gets attention.

When she was assigned a school art project, Demi decided to make a dress made up of divorce papers as a way to “symbolize the fact that too many people rush into marriage and end up getting divorced.”

Before you ask, she didn’t use actual divorce papers (which, you have to admit would have made the project way more depressing) but she did grab a divorce form from the internet, fill it out and then make 1500 copies to make this matrimonial masterpiece.

The best part? She posted the pic on Facebook for friends and family and it’s gone viral, garnering over 46k likes on Facebook and over 130k on Tumblr.

I’m looking forward to seeing what she does next.
