I love that answer. </p> <p>And they ARE coming too... if Target didn't already do it first in this case... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233939 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 13:59:29 +0000 ironkurtin 1233939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those would look awful on me. I'll be sure to tell my husband in case he randomly decides to drop $27K on a dress on a whim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233905 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 13:17:10 +0000 Windchime 1233905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If someone gave me one, I'd sell it and use the proceeds to fund my wardrobe for a long time! Of course I'd wear it once first so I could post a WIW on here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233900 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 13:09:58 +0000 Janet 1233900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Granted, the photos are small and you can't see detail, which I'm sure is wonderful, but these do absolutely nothing for me. I can definitely come up with lots of other ways to spend $27K! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233876 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 12:35:26 +0000 Karie 1233876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll wait for the Target knock-off </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233875 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 12:34:08 +0000 Alexandra 1233875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh! Not even for free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233870 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 12:29:44 +0000 Joyce B 1233870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am curious about the fabric/materials these dresses are made of. You cannot get a close-up, they may be hand-embroidered and for the price they must have jewelry threads in the fabric. I am obviously not into the price of it but I am definitely into the craftmanship part.<br /> I like the yellow dress in the center of the picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233834 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 08:30:16 +0000 fuzzylogic 1233834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing this link, annagybe! These are exquisite pieces! The workmanship that created this is phenomenal! I would totally buy these pieces as works of art if It was within my budget.<br /> Although, like Gigi, I do wonder about the designer/artisan inequity. I would prefer to buy from the source with a large mark up than through a middle person with a label.<br /> In this case, perhaps exposure and association with a label is beneficial? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233798 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 05:37:26 +0000 Gigi 1233798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I see things like this, I always wonder how much the artisan got paid vs. how much the designer gets.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233791 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 05:23:37 +0000 Ledonna N. 1233791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um No that is all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233788 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 05:20:47 +0000 Scarlet 1233788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No doubt somebody will buy it just because he or she can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233768 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:41:37 +0000 rachylou 1233768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do understand a 30k one of a kind dress hand sewn for you, but I find these ordinary. I don't think it's worth putting anyone to work on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233767 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:40:39 +0000 catgirl 1233767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"These won't last long." Bwahaha!!! </p> <p>I can do a LOT with $ 27,000 and none of it involves buying one of these admittedly lovely dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233766 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:39:22 +0000 Diana 1233766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of like the black, blue, and orange one. &nbsp;Although not for 27K. &nbsp;I'd have to beef up my crochet skills but I actually think I could make something similar if I was so inclined. &nbsp;It looks like applique so you could just attach individual&nbsp;motifs to a plain dress. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233764 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:38:44 +0000 lyn* 1233764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL; that is worth more than my car ... when it was new :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-im-sure-the-workmanship-is-exquisite-but-still#post-1233761 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:32:22 +0000 annagybe 1233761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is Miuccia on? Though they are the very definition of joile laide and fit her aesthetic to a tee.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.style.com/stylefile/2014/04/exclusive-prada-dress-will-probably-dream-forever/">http://www.style.com/stylefile.....m-forever/</a></p> <p>I guess for me, if I was going to drop 27K on a dress, I'd fly to Paris and get something custom from Jean Paul Gaultier. Though I'd probably get quite a few looks at the next opera.</p>
