If not, it would be very hard to allow the pens to bleed, without the colors also bleeding into the back......Overall, I think the "renewable" factor is more of a novelty than anything actually renewable or eco-friendly. Who really has the time or forethought to bleach, dry, coordinate colors, allow pens to bleed, allow bleeding to dry and then do it all over again, with any regularity? The idea is creative, but the practicality and value in such a dress isn't really there. Plus, the time and money you spend on preparing and cleaning the dress and buying loads of new pens probably makes it cheaper to simply buy new dresses. </p> Does this dress come with a free manikin?

It’s definitely cute and mildly creative, but probably better for a young grade school art teacher since it’s more of an “arts n’ craft” item rather than real materialistic fashion.

The only other thing I hate more than trash is people who talk trash, they are wasting some time off their life being so angry and criticizing every little detail and trying to reference the world with this.
I don’t see them contribute, that’s for sure.

Honestly, it’s kind of hard to see a future in fashion anyway..
A lot of styles are overused and “renew”, is revolution CAPABLE anymore?
