Trompe L'oeil Dressing

You'll do a double take with these fool-the-eye ensembles!

First (and Couture Carrie's favorite), this Aminaka Wilmont trompe l'oeil mannequin dress. A dress form in the form of a dress - tres cool! By the by, this fabulous frock is now on sale at net-a-porter.com.

Second, one of Ronald Abdala's skeletal creations... Abdala's designs have been termed morbid by some, but CC declares:
he is a genius! Check out the exposed "vertebrae" on this corset-look top! Visit ronaldabdala.com for more wardrobe wonders.

Third, check out this Edun Serenade tee with black bustier silhouette. Wear a corset without all that pesky boning!

Last (and may CC add: incredible!), an Insideout long-sleeve tee with white leather jacket print. What artistry! Go to creaturesofcomfort.us for this and the previous look.

    I'm a huge fan of trompe l'oeil. Done right (like the ones you've selected) it's clever and fun to wear.
