Some foodstuffs are better left unmixed. Take peanut butter and blue cheese, for instance: Delicious individually, vomit-inducing when paired.Some materials and prints are also better left unmixed. Velvet and Leopard are fine on their own, but their marriage is not a happy one.
Witness the carnage in the form of Diane von Furstenberg’s Wilma Joon Dress.
I’m usually bonkers for all things DVF, but this is a disaster of epic proportions.
I can’t even get into the muumuu-esque cut – it’s too upsetting. And what’s with the uneven sleeves?
I’m going to give DVF the benefit of the doubt here by assuming this monstrosity was designed by Olivia or Whitney or some other chick from The City trying to get out of that D-list faux reality TV starlet box.
Sorry dollfaces, it’s so not happening – the best you can hope for is fashion PR. Kindly leave the designing to the pros for all of our sakes.
I’m also going to give Shopbop the benefit of the doubt by assuming they were paid by MTV to slap an Editor’s Pick graphic on this $298 offense to velvet, animal prints, and dresses in general.
I’m obvs feeling generous today.

Ugh. WILMA? As in Flintstone? I think Party City is trying to pawn off their Halloween leftovers on a bunch of unsuspecting idiots…
is it me or does she look like the chick on the Disney show “Wizards of Waverely Place?”
It also sort of looks like a top, like someone just said “hey, if we size this up ten sizes, and change the label, we can sell this for way more as a dress!” The hem is just wrong.
Well, maybe if they took off the other sleeve and, maybe not gather it so much and maybe cut the hem a bit shorter and maybe put a belt around it . . . or, maybe not!!
I still love DVF.
