To me, this is the fashion equivalent of when I write a whole long post, find out while saving that my Internet has crapped out and it’s gone forever, and scream into the void before typing “WORDS” and hitting “publish.” Except so many more people had to hit the equivalent of “publish” before it landed in the world, and onto Kate Mara’s back in 2016. Did not ONE of them think, “Huh, did this design actually finish rendering? Is this an old draft? Or do I need my eyes checked?”

Weirdly, though, the bottom part — though hideous — looks better made than the top, which I would believe got pinned for a fitting and then never actually tailored. Maybe Kate Mara, too, got fed up trying to make things work and just screamed “WORDS” and left the house.
