Announcing: The Overrated Dress Makeover

If anyone has been actually been reading this, you've likely seen my ongoing list of dresses I hate (or are overhyped) but everyone has lost their fucking minds over, and being the clueless bitch that I am (keyword being "clueless" because I have no experience in clothing design and failed a costuming class in college), I've decided to recreate the gowns and make them even worse than before.

The dresses:
Cinderella's Blue Gown from Disney's "Ever After" "Cinderella" live remake (2015)

I've already ranted about this dress numerous times already, so here's the short version:
Doesn't look like the original, wrong color, not enough sparkle, and the Goddamn butterflies didn't match and made the whole thing look cheap.

Emma Watson's Yellow Dress from "Beauty and the Beast" live remake (2017)

So, there's been talk going around that Emma herself had created the dress because she wanted it to be more "Emma" than "Belle" but I haven't seen anything to back the latter part up. However, the designer has a tendency of making things look "off the rack" meaning you could go to a "David's Bridal" (or a similar store) and find it on the clearance rack. -insert rattlesnake noise from "Drag Race" here-

Claire's Red Dress from "Outlander" Season two

I'm hesitant to do this because I kinda like it. However, I do have some nitpicks about it (like saggy tits never looked good on anyone) and there were things I wanted to tweak with (try a different fabric, find a way to make the bodice stronger and support the girls, play around with the skirt, etc.)

Acid Betty's "Bitch Perfect/Red carpet" Runway look from "RuPaul's Drag Race)

As much as I really do enjoy Betty's looks both off and on "Drag Race" this was just a "ugck" for me. Admittedly, I'm actually scared about doing this one. Why? Cause (1) I know I'll really fuck this up worse than both LailaMcQueen and Dax Exclamation (No)Point both did in their lipsync combined and (2) oddly enough, I'm not alone in my reaction (other people didn't like it either).

(Dis)Honorable Mention
Joy Villa's Grammy "Voldermort" dress from 2017 Grammys:

In the event that I chicken out on doing the last two dresses, this' going to be a filler. Joy said she wore it to "show support for her president" while becoming a hit amongst the still gullible conservatives. Even without the controversial print, the dress' silhouette is just fail also.

I FINALLY did the the thing

Around 2011/2012, I decided to write a fan letter to Tom Hiddleston, whose not only my favorite actor but one of my favorite people in the entire universe. This proved to be more difficult than I imagined since I have a huge tendency of overthinking things and I was so scared that whatever I put down made me sound like I was a stalker and so it took 5-6 years to write it but I finally sent it last month.  Unfortunately, I'll never know if he'll get it or not since I couldn't afford the autograph option and I did put in my social media handles so I ended being creepy in the end.
Well, at least it got finished and Tom, if you are reading this, hi.
