Man Dress


~ Rebel Stand Tall fabric by Daniel Day ~

I couldn't resist this fabric, the guy is life-size already.  However it's narrow in width, so the challenge was figuring out how to best use it.  


Enter my true love, stage left, er, down.  He gets a kick out of it.  Wanna see?  Sure you do.  Ready?




and he does.

      I'll have him take a bow next time he's wearing it, probably tonight...

    No way! That's SO awesome! It's a pop art kaftan!

      Yes way. It reminds me of old propaganda posters.

    How gorgeous! I'm heading into man dress territory more often these days, although I call them robes. Clothes that African men would wear. I certainly think this would appeal with its graphics and bright colours. I love how you've used the words along the height axis...like he's being measured! So many kinds of wonderful :-) xo Jazzy Jack

      It's certainly non-Western clothing. If you think of any other culture/country outside the usual suspects, they all have men wearing robes, tunics, kimono, caftans, etc.

    Mr. True-Love is a total hunk in his kaftan! The words are upright but the "stand tall" guys are lying down and taking a load off. Sounds good to me. ;)

    Two thumbs up to your True Love - great modelling! There are countries where he could go out of the house wearing this and no one would bat an eyelash. Good choice using the fabric horizontally.

      We have a Mosque at the end of our block and I think they might bat an eyelash or two upon seeing this. Kitty corner on the other end of our block is a big ole Catholic church. Who knows what they'd bat.
