bondage t-shirt

Another example of overtly rope-based fashion. From Ars Vivendi, brought to my attention by violetwhite.

I’d be very curious to know how the discussion leading to the naming of the dress went. It’s a nice dress. I suppose I can see how the word shibari could almost apply. Almost. If you sort of lean your head to one side and squint.
Okay actually no I can’t.
The question, now that I think more about it, that this dress brings up for me is how many people who would buy and wear this dress – and undoubtedly talk about the name of the dress whenever someone comments on it – how many of those people would even consider having someone put rope on them? Even for purely aesthetic purposes? Pay me a quarter of what the dress costs and before you leave for your fancy dress party I’ll tie some black rope over a white dress and end up with something far more flattering.
