Is her dress actually the whole thing there on the couch??!

Why isn't there a shot of her standing up in it?

I can't tell if this is a joke or not.

 

I found this because it was over at The Fashion Police. (Needless to say, they were confused by it too.)

 

What do you all think?

I saw that somewhere recently and am still wondering WHY? It looks like it's all one piece....how on earth could you stand up in it and not fall over or knock things over as you walked around? Why not just make a large afghan? lol Maybe I'm missing the point?!

Call me crazy, but, looking through the site, I would tend to think the whole thing is tongue-in-cheek

Yes, that's what the designs appear to be to me as well..unfortunately they used crochet to hammer home the ridiculous:)

That was my thought, too.

I'll bet that thing is so heavy she can't stand and walk in it. Geez, what will they come up with next. That would really be a stashbuster - LOL.
