Over the years, we’ve had a strange mixture of Winter Holiday traditions…from candle lighting to trees to feasts to travel to parties to…you get the idea.

They believe spending time outdoors makes people healthier, happier, and more productive, and I think you should have a peek at what came up with. Maybe even donate to their KickStarter project?

the back of the dress looks like this:
I lined the entire dress and created the straps by cutting and gluing vinyl strips together.
Here’s the whole gang:
Even Brendan happened to be in town:

And Mr Harp:
And Xernay’s friend:
A good time was had by all.
What will be the next Dresscue?
I used to see these around Beijing, particularily prior to major holidays. This is quite the vision.
