Snow Pants

Girlette Fashion Week continues with a pantsuit for a snow day, worn here by Stripe. (I have the day off because the thrift store closed due to bad roads.) The pantsuit is made from a pair of big baby doll bloomers, one from a haul of old handmade doll clothes at the store.

Stripe's fascinator is made from a ketchup packet I found at the bus stop yesterday. The tiny tomato picks up the little red flowers of the pantsuit.
The ketchup packet's fabric is so strong and almost indestructible––it's made from layers of plastic and metal foil––you could maybe make human-sized clothes from it. Except the packets are designed to tear in one direction, so you'd have to crisscross them?
Not sure.
 
Reminds me--Vivienne Westwood said people buy too many clothes: "Clothes should cost an awful lot more than they do. But we do need clothes..."
Her motto:

"Buy less. Choose well. Make it last."

(--via video interview w the Guardian, and elsewhere)

P.S. someone on Instagram said they couldn't believe the girlette's feet weren't cold in the snow. The girlettes have explained to me, however, that they don't get cold: "We're plastic," they say, rolling their eyes, and then they go back to playing.
