Warning! Wardrobe Malfunction Imminent !!

Posted on May 2, 2008 by SB&C

Crocheted tops, they just scream VINTAGE, don’t they?

This top pictured below is probably not completely FUGLY

 

but as an example of What Not to Crochet,

The straps on your crocheted top would have to be on the list.

Ok???

 

Do you need it spelt out?

Crocheted string straps = s-t—r—-e—–t—–c———h.

 

What do you think is going through our model’s mind right now?

    you know she’s thinking “If I don’t move to much it shouldn’t slip, right?” LOL

    “ow, this duct tape around my bazooms is killing me, but at least the top is staying up… so far…”

    Yes, her expression suggests pain….

    You can reduce the stretch of crochet/knit fabric if you add a strand of matching sewing thread when working the yarn. The other option, is to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the cord before ataching it, and/or make it one you tie.

    Dear Crochet Friends:
    I don’t have a computer camera to send you a picture
    of this other notorious wardrobe malfunction, but you
    must look at the March ‘08 issue of Crochet! magazine-
    pg. 38-39, Pistachio wrap. This belongs in the
    WNTC Hall of Fame. I ran screaming from the room
    when I saw It. Frankly, this monstrosity sets the
    civil rights movement back to the 1960s! Thanks for
    listening. Your blog is one of my favorites. By the way,
    I am also a quilter, and there are many tragic
    quilt designs out there as well.

    I’m so glad this didn’t make it into that new “uncommon crochet” book about working with alternative fibers.

    Dear Ms Schiffman,
    I also have a subscription to Crochet! and I have been anxiously waiting for it to expire. Per your request I looked up the Peach & Pistachio Wrap. I’m thinking somebody crocheted the cat hack… As for this wonderful waffle looking thing with the stretchy straps, I’ve got dishcloths with the same pattern. Anybody wondering why they didn’t get a model with big boobs? Is there rehab for fiber abuse?

    i can’t wait to go home and look at my March issue.
    The top makes me think of washing dishes.

    *wow* maybe wardrobe malfunction is the look the designer is going for? Maybe show a little skin to get a promotion? I have _no_clue….

    I think the model must be thinking “If I arch my back enough, this top will stay up, right?”

    It looks like she’s wearing a tote bag, and no a very well-made one.

    If she were built like a woman and not like a boi she would not need the ugly straps. Get over it. The rest is just ok.

    More likely to be thinking - grin and don’t bare it, don’ t you think? LOL

    That has to be the most unflattering thing since the tube top - oh, it is a tube top, but with straps.
