Fairytale Oakleigh wedding gown made it on time

Design Wedding GownSTEPHANIE Faoro's wedding day was saved by a "hero"holding a pair of scissors, fabric and sewing machine. The Mt Waverley bride walked down the aisle on Saturday in herfairytale wedding gown which she picked up only the day before. Last year, Stephanie found her perfect design at a Ringwooddressmaker. But after paying the full $2200 in May, she sensedsomething was wrong. "I kept asking them whether it would be ready and they keptassuring me it was fine," Stephanie said. Even Rene Tamasauskas, of Oakleigh's Tamasauskas Design,commissioned to make the matron-of-honour and flowergirl dress,said the bride was overreacting. But when Stephanie arrived for her fitting on May 27, thedressmaker had gone out of business. "They said there was no money, no dress, at which point Iburst out into tears," she said. Stephanie then rushed to Tamasauskas Design with nothing more thana roll of silk duchess satin and hope. "By Friday the lining and the skirt were already done and bythe next Wednesday it was finished," she said. "They are my heroes. They were able to make the same dress andonly charged me $1500." Ms Tamasauskas said the dress was made with the least amount oftrauma possible. "We don't have second chances in this business because we arealways working to deadlines," Ms Tamasauskas said. "All you need is some scissors, some fabric, a sewing machineand a mannequin." Stephanie married Matthew Kelly at Nathania Springs Receptions inMonbulk on Saturday, with her daughter, Madeleine, 2, as the flowergirl.

The new trend: Transparent clothes!

Silk Dress Shirt What's in there? Mr. Fussy owns a collared white shirt monogrammedwith the words "High on Stress," a phrase he spotted in the movie"Revenge of the Nerds." He also possesses two lovely, tailoredsuits, purchased back when you could get a good tailored suit for$500. In more questionable taste, there is also a shirt portraying JohnnyDamon in the center of a Last Supper tableau, surrounded by his2004 Red Sox teammates. "We're Saved!" the shirt declares. Mr. F.also owns a very expensive, 70 percent bamboo, 30 percent organiccotton, T-shirt from jondno, fair trade purveyors of "luxuriouseco-fashion" and of "ecoKashmere." This shirt has never been worn. Who would defile this perfectgarment, by rubbing it against his body? And who has the time toparse the "proper care" instructions? What? No trashion? Trashion is a portmanteau word combining"fashion" and "trash." Here is an example: a $28 dog collar madefrom a "repurposed" silk necktie. That would be trashion for thedog. For the human in your family, there are bracelets made fromrecycled auto parts, and necklaces made from recycled librarycards. As you can imagine, there is considerable overlap betweenthe glamorous worlds of trashion and freecycling, which involvepicking up other people's trash. What to wear? It's enough to drive you fashion crazy. Mr. Fussy'sfavorite guide to the vagaries of the cultural moment, The New YorkTimes's T magazine, has declared that "craziness is all thefashion." Remarking on looks pioneered by troubled youngsters suchas Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, writer Kara Jesella observesthat "unwashed hair, that hallmark of depression, insanity andaddiction, has rarely looked so appealing." Only recently has Mr. Fussy learned about "shapewear," a neologismbehind which, he suspects, lurks the word "girdle." But shapewearis a less constricting word, redolent of "discomfort," which hassupplanted "pain" in the modern lexicon. And "pressure." Dentistslove to say, "You might feel a little pressure." But Mr. Fussy has lost the thread. Shapewear has proven quitepopular for women, and now men are squeezing their swollen waistsinto what no one wants to call male girdles or "mirdles." (Perhapsthey should use the actual word: truss.) Los Angeles designerAndrew Christian has introduced the Flashback Butt LiftingTechnology Boxer, which promises "the perfect bubble butt." Comingsoon: the "Waist Eliminator" from Go Softwear, featuring an elasticwaistband that reaches up to the mid-torso. But will it betransparent? Mr. Fussy hopes so, for fashion's sake.
