This sequin cheongsam is the one item for 2011 that has stopped me in my tracks. No shearling, no studs, no leather, no grown-up minimalism. Just a crazy shimmering rainbow of goodness.

We all need that dress, perhaps a little more modestly cut on that split for some of us. I think I may need the shoes too, she can keep the fruit.
I’ll take two (if it has a sequin on it’s mine).
I will also festoon my Docs with silk flowers and raid the fruit bowl in readiness.
This is like a breath of Spring and a big squirt of anti-crap spray all in one – thank you Sister W.
Hahaha this is great! I love that the clothing is a mix of fun, serious, and irreverent. I wish I had reasons to wear fruit hats.
Ever since I saw this collection I’ve decided this dress needs to be in my life. Some how I’ll make it happen!
This dress, shoes & hat were an absolutely beautiful way to start my Monday morning – Thanks SW. I love it.
I am in love. My hips are too big for this, sure is nice to ogle and want, want, want.
Who was that lady who used to wear bananas in her hair and singalong with a Latin-American dance band before and just after the war? Anyone here old enough to remember?
Carmen Miranda!
I take one of those to brighten up my days!
well i hate it! FRUIT LOOP! but if i was a kid dressing up, i KNOW i would be all over this!
My entire wardrobe consists solely of black, white, grey and brown. I can’t even visualize what that dress would look like on me, but I love it on the model. However, despite the monotone colors in my closet, I would wear the SHIT out of those shoes.
Although I mainly wear dark colors, I absolutely love Romance Was Born, I think I’ve written about them a couple times too many on my blog. I want everything I look at it to be such beautiful crazy raver club kid madness. It brings a little joy into my day.
Oh this is such a happy-looking dress. I think everybody should have one stashed away to wear on glum days.
i am really liking the flowery cheongsams and fruity bright prints. Me want them.
I’m more of a vegetable person…
Carmen Miranda! Of course it was,thank you, ‘E’.
I wonder what reminded me of her?
YIKES! But what’s with the slit?? Woah Nellie!! 🙂
Wow sister, I’m so confused. This is one of your sarcastic posts, right? RIGHT??????
I love the basket pattern print and how they used it; there also is a little blue and green kimono that I’d like to have.
Strangely and horribly enough, I recently had a quite nasty experience caused by looking at a VERY, VERY fat Australian female in a rather similar outfit. She seemed to think she was a singer/sex symbol and or Cher.
Frightened me.
Oh god Andra, I really hope that wasn’t me.
Cybill – HAhahahahahahahahahahahha!
e – I’m glad you like it!
Crystal – I wish I could walk in heels!
Jean – Fingers crossed for you.
Witch Mama – Yay! Glad you like it.
Chandra – Yep, it’s all about Want.
I NEED THOSE SHOES!
Urgh. How very “The Studio 54 World of Suzie The Artist Formerly Known as Carmen Miranda Wong”.
They also have shoes with what looks like stuffed Fu lions on them and CHOPSTICKS. That’s some good crack the designers are smoking. Either that or there was a clearance sale at some chintzy Asian shop in the mall.
Would totally wear if I were an Asian drag queen or doing a burlesque version of “Farewell My Concubine”. Otherwise, pass.
I like Andra experience the best.
Andra – I honestly think that was me. (Not joking) Did you see ‘her’ in melbourne? Because I wore something super similar to that and I sometimes look like a very very very fat woman who is delusional and think she’s cher.
Holy shit. That’s practically my Dream Dress. And I’ve been fantasizing about making one of those fruity headdresses for EVER–but the fruit should be sparkly too. thanks for the inspiration!
James, sorry ducks. The nastiness was inflicting herself on the good people of Cairns.
As if the floods weren’t enough all over the state!
