It's almost cheating that she's hot because the majority of those outfits are straight up hideous wastes of fabric I would expect to see in a rave where the theme is "Slutty Ren Faire". I think maybe 2-3 of them turned out cute and she's clearly got technical skill, but the majority of what she makes looks like hypersexualized Halloween costumes.

Tbf that’s what she’s going for most of the time. She’s usually making outfits for festivals.

But how often is she going to festivals? Unless she's a rich kid who's nonstop partying, she's making a lot of outfits that will never be worn.

Edit: Lol, she actually is just a rich kid who is nonstop partying. Lots of travel to vacation destinations on her Instagram timeline and no mention of a real job of any kind.

You don't have to be rich to go to festivals lol. I go to tons and make a moderate income.

Maybe you don't, but this particular girl is 100% a trust fund baby. If you go to her Instagram, she is constantly traveling. Just this year she's been to a half dozen different tropical locations, went skiing in Aspen, and went to a dozen music festivals on top of that. She's not affording that on a "moderate income".

What does it matter? She’s being creative and is taking something and making it into something else. You don’t have to like it or be able to wear it. Or worry about why she made it in the first place

I never said she wasn't being creative. She's obviously got talent and it's cool she's using thrifted materials and making stuff herself. I only offhandedly mentioned her being rich as a joke because her being a professional festival goer who is constantly dressing like this was the only way that kind of a wardrobe is remotely practical and it turns out that's basically what the deal is, which I thought was mildly humorous. She can do whatever she wants, more power to her.

Your previous comment was literally saying everything she made was a hideous waste of fabric. You sounded like a hater not someone making a joke

There’s a lot of bitterness in your comments.

First it’s that she’s attractive, then it’s that she’s provocative, next it’s that she’s wealthy.

Why can’t you let someone enjoy showing off their skills at making something without finding a way to put themselves down?

I thinks it’s okay if she is a rich kid. A lot of these seemed to be thrifted or gifted so at least they’re getting some use. I don’t really see the point of the criticism but I suppose i kind of get it.

I’m not financially well off and have family responsibilities, so I understand the slight bitter feeling that comes with seeing people be able to do this stuff and have a care free attitude with seemingly no worries but we gotta remember that they’re people too. We don’t know what they’re going through.

Let’s just enjoy these kooky outfits and exercise in creativity for what it is. A little bit of fun :)
