For our first post, let us ponder the lovely ladies of FLDS. I am a firm believer that you should not necessarily let your Crazy leak into your closet. Let us, for a moment, take a step back to truly consider these outfits. I have a suspicion that this is couture in the truest sense as I doubt the use of machines of any kind is sanctioned by the cult leader. What this photo also tells me is that it is very difficult to switch to another dressmaking pattern once you've mastered one. Life is never easy and these modern-day women obviously have some arduous decisions to make when they wake up at four am to milk the cows and wash their Savior's feet. Which ill-fitting-baby-wallpaper-inspired-color- nineteenth-century-peasant dress today? How high would I like my pompadour? Brown or black Rockports? Brooch or Swatch? Men's tube socks or men's tube socks? But, hey, maybe I just don't get it. Maybe it's on the cutting edge of hipster fashion and I just didn't get the memo. Come to think of it, I think I saw Mary-Kate Olsen rocking something very similar on the pages of Us Weekly recently...
