She actually managed to bring a date

In fact, she did not even make her own dress, because she does not know how to sew. Beginning with a "cheap old dress" - as seen on the dress form - she claims to have added extra tulle to make a cummerbund thing, some sort of cape/train, and floor-length underskirts.

Obviously she does not have enough tulle for this project. At best, this is going to look like a skimpy, wilted fail from a $10 WISH PROM DRESSES TRY ON HAUL ONLINE SHOPPING DISASTER???

I'm on tenterhooks.

I was really confused when she said she doesn’t even know how to use a sewing machine. Because hand sewing a dress takes forever and it super difficult - need tons of practice. So she didn’t make a dress, she just bought a dress and sloppily tacked on a bunch of tulle.

Bitch wishes she looked like Loretta Lynn in 1973. Mrs Lynn’s knew how to sew her own beautiful dresses and clothes for the rest of her family. By 1973 she was so famous she had her dresses made by master seamstresses. Alice got a cheap vintage prom dress with half ass tulle glued on it or put on like a bad ghetto weave.

Loretta Lynn is a goddamn legend, talented beyond belief and a class act. Alice isn’t good enough to drink her piss.

She needs to keep Loretta Lynn's name out of her whore mouth.

Exactly.

So I assume her date is some wide eyed twink from BFE, thinking he found the Grace to his Will in the Big City gay bar closest to his apartment.

 

[StrawberryDouche]

I think her date is one of her hag fags from the Toolbox.

If you search #nycbgala on Insta, you'll see women dressed in exquisite and expertly fitted gowns who took a minute to do their hair. Then you'll see a drunk who got a hold of a glue gun and plastic netting. It's way worse worse than I imagined it would be, and it's the dress she deserves.

 

[Rabbit Bones]

She looks like a crochet toilet roll cover women that peoples Grandmas put in the guest bathroom. One with bingo wings and a saggy face, anyway.

 

[thejackal]

The first thing that comes to mind when looking at Alice is "boxy". She just looks wide, ill proportioned with over-sized hands and forearms and shoulders.

I don't think the "king prawn" style flowing dresses flatter a woman's figure (kinda looks like a cocktail shrimp) but if you're going to wear one at least have a figure like this woman that attended:

 

[StrawberryDouche]

It looks like she crawled out of a gutter to give herself a jawline with a black magic marker. The inside of her elbow is black and her skin is yellow, and she thinks shooping a jawline will distract from that? Holy fucking flop sweat.

She seems to believe she can pull off the “beautiful mess” look, but no one can pull off that look after 25, not even Edie Sedgwick. After 25 it’s just the “sloppy, fat drunken hag” look, but that is super easy to pull off.

Also LOL at her owning a seamstress dress form but doesn’t know how to use a sewing machine. (It’s not actually hard to operate a sewing machine, but sewing well is another matter)

 

[Barbarella]

She’s too fat and unattractive and poor to go for traditional high end fashion, like all the other women who I saw on IG, ,(SJP, Brooke Shields, a woman wearing Prabal Gurung off the runway) but she can create her own classy style. So far, hers is apparently “laugh at me.”

She consistently wears that light pink that actually is a difficult color to wear, like pale yellow. You need deep skin tones for it; it’s all wrong for her. If she wants pink, go hot pink. Every dress I see her wear is exactly the wrong shape for her body type with some strange sleeve or neckline or homemade appearance, but not in a good way.

The dress she wore to this “gala” might be the worst I’ve ever seen. First year design students would laugh at that. Especially in comparison to all the other women I saw, who dressed elegantly and normally. I didn’t like every dress but none of the others screamed “I’m tacky. “

It’s so clearly an old dress with mismatched tulle tacked underneath and various weird spots on top. I don’t know why she isn’t embarrassed to step outside in it. It’d have been ugly left alone-but better that way. I saw short dresses there.

If she goes to all these fundraisers or galas, and hasn't got money (then why is she going?) she ought to have a nice, simple black dress that she can change up each time with different jewelry, shoes, wrap, and a quality handbag. Why she wants to go out looking like the leftover scraps scooped up from the floor of a quienciera specialty dressmaker is beyond my ability to comprehend.

We say Chantel has no shame but Alice seems to be missing that quality too. Is she actually making fun of everybody else there by wearing a toilet paper looking dress? She cannot possibly think that was acceptable? Or funny? Or...good? There isn’t that much alcohol in the world.

Well, she needed the prop for her IG photo shoot. What's the point of doing literally anything if you can't post it online and get attention?

That's what always sticks out to me most about her apartment. Nothing seems personal or thoughtful about her horrible decor. It's all just shit she bought because she saw other (richer) people with it on IG, or because it was the right shade of boring to compliment her other junk for her 'candid' photos.

Her apartment looks like a cheap real estate staging company decorated it. Impersonal, generic and blank is definitely the style she’s achieved

 

[DelicateMageflower]

She's no great beauty by any means, but she could definitely look more polished if she wore clothes that were actually flattering to her shape (with shapewear as needed) and had a sleeker hairstyle. Even the plainest woman can clean up nicely with a little bit of knowledge. Alice just comes off as unhinged. Even Bjork couldn't get away with that shit now.

 

[MichaelScarn]

I don't think she wore it to be funny. I think she genuinely thinks it's pretty and delicate, like that other pink shitshow she wore to the Lincoln Center event.

 

[melty]

I guess she's trying to make pink dresses ~her thing~

When I first saw the plans I assumed it was for some kind of drag or creative event, or maybe a later Halloween event, where it's acceptable or encouraged for people to wear handmade Avant garde type stuff.
I can't fathom why she thought it was a good idea. Maybe it's a play to save money, but keep up appearances as the quirky eccentric who wears whatever she wants? That only works if you have any talent. It's obviously a totally different dress with random shit tacked on. It wouldn't even look good as a Halloween costume, which is what I originally thought this was for.
Then she gets a picture with the guy with tulle shoulders as if they have anything in common. His thing is actually well made and looks cool. It's probably not even the same material as I imagine she got bargain basement fabric because it's all the same right?

By the way; tulle is scratchy, really scratchy. There's a reason why even halfway decent tulle skirts will have a silky underskirt, because it will scratch the shit out of your skin and be extremely uncomfortable. Alice, being a narcissist with no experience whatsoever likely just tacked all this shitty tulle right up on the inside of the dress and was probably itching all night, on top of looking like a frilly rocket.

 

[Slowboat to China]

Oh my gosh, no. That isn't a good look. A lovely, icy pale pink can look good on someone with dark hair and pale skin, but that pink is just a shade off from flesh tones. I'm reminded of Eva Ibbotson's description of an awkward bridesmaid in a pink dress: "A prematurely dished-up and rather nervous ham."

As much as KF likes to pick over cows' appearances, Alice is far from the worst-looking person on this site. If she took the time to choose colors and cuts that fitted her, and did her hair for these events, I think she could look much better. But tacking a random tulle skirt underneath existing tulle layers, and then adding puffs and froths of tulle to her arms and some random long-ass tulle hanging off the back ... Absolutely not. And the preexisting ruffles only serve to widen the midsection, pink sash be damned.

That looks like a pretty nice dress form, though. I do have dress form envy.

She could look good, even at her current weight. She’s got some good features and thick hair. The problem is she never learned to dress like an adult, but is stuck in 1990’s hipster shit she liked in high school. This would probably be okay if she was back in Texas, but she’s trying to appear at NYC fundraising events. She looks like a rube trying way too hard to be an interesting big city eccentric. She’s imitating styles much younger and thinner women did fifteen years ago.

 

[StrawberryDouche]

That thick hair belongs to a third world woman who sold it so it could be bonded to Alice's skull. She gets it done here. I believe extensions start around a grand.

No, she's not going to be a raving beauty. But she could certainly be presentable, or even borderline elegant, if she dressed better and for her age. Smart dressing covers a lot of awkwardness and flaws.

But yeah, I don't think she's going to fit into the New York scene like she wants. I honestly don't know why she wants to try. It seems like a dull way to spend an evening.

Figures. I thought it looked too good to be real, but I have known women with natural hair like that. Since I rip Alice on everything else I (wrongly) gave her the benefit of the doubt on the hair.

She could very easily dress better. The UES is filled with stores that sell barely worn, top-tier designer clothes at great prices. Her main difficultly would be her size, since it’s hard to find most high end designers above a size 10. Even then she could go to Century 21 (the TJ Maxx for NYC, but with real designer clothes not just mall brand shit) and put together an adult wardrobe.

NYC can be a marvelous place to live, but in the last fifteen years that’s only true if you are really fucking rich. The big money has muscled out most of what made NYC interesting and attractive to me, much like SF.

But when you are 20-30 and like going out a lot - it’s great place. But once you decide staying home is a nice thing to do, NYC sucks (unless you are rich) because even pulling in $300,000 a year you live in 1 bedroom box.

Worse, Alice is one of the sad groupies for the wealthy elite in NYC. She’s not rich, she’s not a society lady or arts patron but she’s trying to cosplay as one. She probably would have been better off staying in Brooklyn. I’m guessing after a decade of being lonely and unhappy in Brooklyn she decided her life would be transformed if she just moved to Manhattan.
