An excellent reason to learn how to sew

The dress at left is the same Marc by Marc Jacobs dress that I used as inspiration recently for recreating the runway. Although it retailed for close to $600 (duh, it's Marc by Marc Jacobs), it's now on sale at Net-A-Porter for a mere $300.

That seems like a great deal, until you see how this girl made her own. Damn my lack of skill with a needle and thread (and sewing machine).
