More Mullet Dresses on Huffington Post

July 11, 2011 by WendyB

After my Never Is the Next New Thing™ post on mullet dresses — or as I prefer to call them, high/low hemlines — 10 fashion bloggers graciously shared photos of their high/low outfits with me. Check out the slideshow on the Huffington Post and leave some nice comments for the ladies.

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE HUFFINGTON POST.

As for me, I realized that a vintage Versace gown that I wore in 2003 counts as a mullet, thanks to the sheer panel in the front.

Click for original post.

Sadly, I don’t have the dress anymore. After it was mangled by an untalented tailor, it no longer fit. (As I’ve said before, I ONLY go to Jean at Ghost Tailor now.) But my designing friend Zang Toi has promised that he will make me the Fall 2010 high/low gown that I regretted not buying last year.

Zang's gown. Click for source.

I’m positive that I will feel like a miniskirted Elizabeth I in this! It’s so regal … yet leggy.

    The ZT frock is amazing, where would you wear it? I’d love to go some place I could wear such a grand gown. Love the Huffpost article!

      Thanks for participating in HuffPost! Loved your dress.

      I’ll wear Zang to the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner in November!

    I cannot wait to see your new mullet on this blog come November. It’ll be a sexy mullet for sure, like Duran Duran and Def Leppard had way back when.

      Doesn’t this hairdo count? http://www.eye4style.com/eye4style-Interview—Wendy-Brandes-2392645

    The Mullet dress – lady you crack me up. I don’t think I will ever be able to call it anything else ever again.

    Stunning in Versace! Loved the Huff Post blog post and enjoyed checking out bloggers that were new to me. Thanks!

    I love that Versace on you! I can’t believe how great you look in that color. How sad and possibly angrifying that a bad tailor rendered it unwearable.

    I love Zang’s work . . . that mullet gown is incredible.

    Beautiful dress coming your way! But can we change the name????

    I enjoyed the Huff Post piece — those mullet dresses all looked fabulous but the ZT dress is beyond fabulous.

    Such a shame your beautiful dress was ruined, It looks amazing. can’t wait to see your new one when it is made. I definitely need to get out to some more formal parties so I can get an amazing new dress.

    I really like this look and was wondering how old do you think too old is to get away with wearing it??

      I don’t think there’s an age limit…look at Vahni’s dress in the slideshow. I think anyone can wear that.

    I love this new phrase, mullet dress, and I’m so sorry that gorgeous gown got ruined by a sub-par seamstress. Glad you found a good one!

    LOL regal yet leggy…sounds like a look we should all aspire to. 🙂

    Aw man, Zang’s gown will look smashing on you!

    I love that gown and you look beautiful in your gown. While it is awful that your gown was destroyed, it is very good that you found a really great tailor. They are so hard to find, especially in small towns.

    You are too young to remember I Love Lucy, but she used to wear pants with a long skirt over them. The skirt was split rather like the dress above. I know it is crazy but I always loved that look. She looked so elegant to me when I was a little girl.

    • WendyB says

      July 12, 2011 at 4:43 pm

      Oh, I watched LOTS of Lucy! Every day! I always thought she looked very glam even though I wasn’t into fashion then. I was just reminiscing about the grape-stomping episode at a wine tasting last week.

    Woo-hoo, I’m on the HuffPost! Thanks for including me, Wendy. I cannot WAIT to see that Zang Toi dress on you, although I hope you pair it with your usual red lippy instead of purple.

    • WendyB says

      July 12, 2011 at 6:24 pm

      I think red lips look great with purple clothes, so I’m sure that’s what I’ll do! Thanks so much for participating in HuffPost. Tell all your friends! 🙂
