Would you wear a wolf skirt?

Posted by ellen on September 4, 2010 at 10:30 PM

I was at the fabric store today and found this excellent wolf fabric--meant to make big cushions from, but I think it would make a great skirt.  Alas, there was only enough for three wolf skirts, but I bought it all.  There is a guy that works at the fabric store (he has a thinning ponytail and doesn't seem to be gay--just a total anomaly) and he said 'hey I've never seen that fabric in here before!  I wish I had.' Tough luck, anomalous fabric store guy.

    For the picture, I just wrapped the piece of fabric and pinned it to the skirt that my doll-lady was already wearing, but I would make the skirt out of some kind of nice tweed and sew the wolf panel to the front like a giant applique, since the wolf fabric is quite light cotton (too light for fall/winter).  The quality of the image is very high, with the nose so shiny and wet looking you can just imagine it poking into your ear.

    So what do you think?  Could you rock it?  Or is it just too weird.

I think it's awesome, but I would want to reach down and pet it all day and that might look rude...
