Comfortable black tie attire

tee shirt ball gownThere are two reasons why I don't attend black tie affairs: One, they are stuffy and boring and two, those ball gowns are so darn uncomfortable.

Thanks to Angela Johnson, a clothing designer from Arizona, that problem is history. The designer who received the Fashion Group International of Arizona's Rising Star Award in 2004 has designed a ball gown made out of tee shirts! Her gowns are hand crafted from vintage tee shirts and old button down shirts, then through the magic of good design they are turned into stunning works of art.

I don't know about you but I for one would totally rock one. If you think you are confident enough to wear a tee shirt ball gown, you can pick one up at the Pink November boutique in Georgetown (D.C) starting January 21. The dress is also available online for $400 at Shop.UnsungDesigners.com
