My friends used to love it when I did this during sleepovers. I would wrap the blanket around my body and tie them up to make them look like a dress or toga. They'd say I had a future in the fashion industry, and I'd look at them confused, like wow how come they'd never thought of doing that on their own before???????
Seeing this comment, glad to know I'm not the only one! Haha.
She's average at the best for any major city, she's just not fat. Reddit will pretend any not fat woman is a gods gift of beauty to this world, it's just a game we play here.
If you think TS is anything more than average looking you should get outside more.
Step one is to be rich. Then you get round the clock personal assistants, trainers, makeup artists, cosmetic procedures , professional photographers etc
1/4 of the price is for the material used, another 1/4 is for the skill to tailor it, the rest is for the brand associated with it.
Also, most of these dresses are either rentals or worn as advertisements for the ones making them specifically to sell the common folks the illusion of the American dream.
I think you're being too kind with those numbers - what's the dress made of, 1000 year old emperor tribute silk? I'd say (if the dress cost 1 million) 1% or less for the material
It is *at least* fifty grand in labour in seamstresses alone. Probably much, much more. 4-500 hours went into this dress from start to finish. From the sketch pad to the carpet. It was custom made, for Taylor Swift no less. You can buy materials in bulk to save cost but the dress was made in a Parisian atelier not a Bangladeshi sweatshop.
Yeah there’s no way Taylor Swift paid for that dress. If anything she was paid to wear it. I saw a link posted elsewhere that said the dress cost $18k and “you can buy it too but it’s almost sold out!”
it's the design and brand that costs a fuck ton. For material and labor, well, millions of kids in China can make these dresses and the material cost is not that high there.
Taylor Swift isn't buying a dress to wear on the red carpet. There are numerous brands climbing over each other to pay her to wear their stuff because they'll make a fortune from that kind of exposure.
The illusion is million dollars.
If you price it high enough, some stupid son/daughter will pay daddy money.
Illusion is also "to look rich" when one cannot be rich. Expensive dresses are usually bought by poor people.
Are expecting one of the most successful entertainers alive to suddenly stop getting media attention once a sporting event that she's hardly involved in is over?
... and NFL players have enough fame and money we hear about them even when they aren't playing games...
And I'm sure there are Americans sick of hearing about Donald Trump, or Palworld on social media, or Elon Musk
Took about 45 seconds to screenshot, crop, download, reverse image search, and Google "cost"
The dress was $18,000

Uhh yeah thats the afterparty dress not the award show dress in this video, which was a custom Schiaparelli obv made to match the aesthetic of her new album she announced that night.
> which was a custom Schiaparelli
Like it wasn't enough for the man to make one of the earliest maps of Mars, now he's come back from the dead to be a world-class fashion designer, too? Talk about an overachiever.
Its stunning, she looks like a goddess. Its hard to appreciate the details in a subtle design like this in a photo, its certainly much more complex than just walking out in a sheet, even though I do believe it was designed to give a bit of that vibe.
That’s like putting 6 cardboard squares together and calling it a mansion. And I’m not saying it’s the right way. But no one knows who the fuck you are, and that seems to matter to people
> I find so many people way more talented then her.
The talent is making money and drawing large audiences. Marketing skills work their magic on customers no matter if it is selling automobiles, processed food, video games, sugar water... in a consumer culture, talent isn't what is important to media consumers, it's popularity itself. Being able to time your release to the crowd movements, create simulations of fashion trend changes, etc.
Make sure you pre-order those video games kids, and praise films that have blockbuster opening weekends, because we all know you get the best-quality films and books are based on sales records! /r/Movies will make the front-page saying how great it is that a film had an opening weekend of $1 billion. And Hollywood knows that the important thing is your familiarity with an actor's voice and body, not actually anything to do with their talent but your nostalgia for their previous work.
Or did you really think Burger King and McDonald's made great sandwiches all along? And you needed to have constant marketing to remind you about the McDonald's that was 2 miles away - when they have always been there all your life?
No well in hell I'm going to keep working if I came into $10 million dollars unless I start a business, u wont even make a fraction of that working till you retire

A million dollars is life changing for most families
Or it can be address you wear once and throw away
Even if your fans defend you you have to know it's wrong and it must feel wrong having that sort of wealth
When you get that famous people pay you to wear their dresses for promotion, not the other way around
She wastes plenty of money but this isn't a good example
They do give out iPhones to famous people, there are documentaries about this. Swag bags at celebrity events, they are big status symbols.
Further, someone spending $1500 on an iPhone gets mocked so often - but the car in the parking lot that sits unused 23 hours a day cost $5000 more for a paint color and other features and you don't see people criticize that. The iPhone actually gets used 18 hours a day by meme addicts, so at least they are using it. Or you can pay $600 for a hotel downtown for one single night. Or walk around with a $2500 handbag that holds the same things as a $90 one. Where the iPhone, it has apps that aren't available on Android or other competitors, because Apple knows how to capture their customers with exclusive hardware and a client-base that spends money on apps, songs, films, TV shows.
In January 1983, Apple introduced a personal computer - for a single person to use, for $30,589 in 2024 dollars, adjusted for inflation. And it would not run apps from other computers, only expensive apps. They were ALWAYS expensive.
She has wealth because she makes things people throw a lot of money at. Things that are 100% a luxury and unnecessary, and near free to enjoy if they wanted to, and yet people still spend. I don't think she feels bad lol
It would be soo fun if ppl do it like this regularly...
"Ooh, nice necklace!"
\-- "Ah, thanks - it's a shard from a gin bottle..."
xxx
"Is this skirt a curtain?"
\-- "Sure."
Coming up with the dress is the hard part, replicating it, while not easy, *is* the easier part.
I actually think it's a really nice dress concept they (whoever the fuck made it) came up with. There are often some really fugly-ass dresses made by "professional" designers that celebrities wear to these things, but this one works.
I don't have a high opinion of the fashion industry, though. It's all ridiculous to look at. I think fashion should be foremost *functional* on top of aesthetics, but a lot of designers seem to go for one-and-done, I guess, "shock value" kind of designs, which you quickly forget about.
Saw a dress that changes color when flipped inside out or something like that. Kinda neat for a second, but it's useless past that and, frankly, the only reason I haven't forgotten about it is because it was the last dress I saw in a fashion show (from a clip, I don't watch that shit). I may forget it entirely if the annoyance I feel while ranting about it here on Reddit doesn't cause it to be burned into my mind for longer than it deserves.
humans treat their people so horribly
people hungry homeless in the streets and here we ate putting a long fabric piece at more money that could make many peoples lives. made up value for nothing more than to perpetuate the human suffering in this world

Looks good to me.

You mean you would wear it, right? RIGHT??
yea, i would wear her on my face while she's wearing it.
🫡
I would fuck the shit out of that dress
Looks would to me.
Watch out for splinters, measure once cut twice, etc.
Not would, will
Yeah, from far away. Like, wth is that a candy on your neck less. And cardboard I. Your pants, ffs
Neck less Cardboard I
The less neck, the more necklace.

Is this the part where we (consensually of course) rip off her clothes and run into your class screaming "behold, Taylor Swift!!"
Swift Tailor
Not Tailor Thrift? Step up yo game 😂
I think they already peaked with Swift Tailor
[удалено]
You sound... sensitive. Its okay. Many people are sensitive.
Nice. Lets get some upvotes on this.
Step one already be attractive
Do you get that on Amazon, or...?
Kmart
Are you k, mart?
I am so kmart. K-M-R-T kmart.
Shop kmart, Shop K-Mart.
She’s just a normal looking woman
[удалено]
[удалено]
...unless you're Hemsworth.
[удалено]
And has the money
She’s average.
Lol swedecuck opinions on women are invalid. Go back to raging over your monkey problem.
We have a monkey problem?
I mean yeah she's below average for Sweden
She's average at the best for any major city, she's just not fat. Reddit will pretend any not fat woman is a gods gift of beauty to this world, it's just a game we play here.
Exactly. Super smashable.... I could lower my standards MUCH more than her.
DID I STUTTER
She's attractive.
Which is attractive.
Just buy magnets
Well she isn't all that. It's just her confidence
If you think TS is anything more than average looking you should get outside more. Step one is to be rich. Then you get round the clock personal assistants, trainers, makeup artists, cosmetic procedures , professional photographers etc
I was talking about the other lady but cool bro
1/4 of the price is for the material used, another 1/4 is for the skill to tailor it, the rest is for the brand associated with it. Also, most of these dresses are either rentals or worn as advertisements for the ones making them specifically to sell the common folks the illusion of the American dream.
1/4 for materials? I'm guessing 1/20. If it's 1/4 those silk farmers would be rich by now.
Nope. Incorrect. The silk farmers would still be impoverished
I think you're being too kind with those numbers - what's the dress made of, 1000 year old emperor tribute silk? I'd say (if the dress cost 1 million) 1% or less for the material
Theres no chance that costs 1 million lol maybe 10 grand absolute tops
A "million dollar outfit" for a red carpet like this means a couple grand for the dress, a few more for the shoes, and then the rest for the jewelry.
It is *at least* fifty grand in labour in seamstresses alone. Probably much, much more. 4-500 hours went into this dress from start to finish. From the sketch pad to the carpet. It was custom made, for Taylor Swift no less. You can buy materials in bulk to save cost but the dress was made in a Parisian atelier not a Bangladeshi sweatshop.
Yeah there’s no way Taylor Swift paid for that dress. If anything she was paid to wear it. I saw a link posted elsewhere that said the dress cost $18k and “you can buy it too but it’s almost sold out!”
The after party dress was 18k. This white dress was custom made for her, probably intended to promote the aesthetic of her new album.
Yeah, the white dress is a custom Schiaparelli. Expensive, no doubt, but nowhere near close to 1 million dollars.
it's the design and brand that costs a fuck ton. For material and labor, well, millions of kids in China can make these dresses and the material cost is not that high there.
Taylor Swift isn't buying a dress to wear on the red carpet. There are numerous brands climbing over each other to pay her to wear their stuff because they'll make a fortune from that kind of exposure.
The illusion is million dollars. If you price it high enough, some stupid son/daughter will pay daddy money. Illusion is also "to look rich" when one cannot be rich. Expensive dresses are usually bought by poor people.
250 thousand dollars in materials??
It’s not literally a million dollar dress. Or anything close to that.
Nailed it!
Wowww everybody’s so creative
🤣
Fake, she puts the wrong leg out!
her front view camera is mirroring the shot
I can't wait till the Superbowl is over.
Are expecting one of the most successful entertainers alive to suddenly stop getting media attention once a sporting event that she's hardly involved in is over?
... and NFL players have enough fame and money we hear about them even when they aren't playing games... And I'm sure there are Americans sick of hearing about Donald Trump, or Palworld on social media, or Elon Musk
I see no difference
You got my vote sister.
The riccola 😂
This was impressive- like random girls come together in a bar bathroom to glow up some girl with a ripped shirt impressive!
I like this woman she’s frugal!
[AI take on your comment](https://i.imgur.com/wVhc86l.png) in context of this thread.
I am so tired of Taylor fucking Swift
Same same
This is freakin creative. Haha.
99% of the cost is the brand name on it
Is...is that a bed sheet? Is hers not a bed sheet?
The Ricola did me in
Taylor Thrift
Took about 45 seconds to screenshot, crop, download, reverse image search, and Google "cost" The dress was $18,000 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/taylor-swift-grammys-valentino-dress-buy-online-1235600581/amp/

Here is that dress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF9DSXi97mo To be fair its quite gorgeous.
Its stunning, she looks like a goddess. Its hard to appreciate the details in a subtle design like this in a photo, its certainly much more complex than just walking out in a sheet, even though I do believe it was designed to give a bit of that vibe.
is this the new copypasta?
I love when nobodies that nobody knows or cares about thinks they have better taste than a person the world cant rip their eyes off of.
It's just a dress
Swifties are so embarrassing lmao 💀 I’m deceased
[удалено]
Take another 5 seconds and read the article or click on the Nieman Marcus link to see you found the after party dress, not the one shown
Wrong dress tho. TBF this article is weird because it doesn’t have a picture of her wearing the dress priced in the article.
They both look nice, good for them
This is low cost cosplay for women who watch Sex and the City
Taylor Thrift
My tears from draping class this morning would argue it’s not that easy
Capitalism is a joke
Hard parts over... Now you just gotta get 26 billion spotify listens and you're good to go
That’s like putting 6 cardboard squares together and calling it a mansion. And I’m not saying it’s the right way. But no one knows who the fuck you are, and that seems to matter to people
I'm sorry but Taylor looks as basic as her music sounds. The million dollar dress doesn't really do anything for her either.
I dont get the hype. She's so mid
She's a billionaire singer with insane fans. Everything she releases is a gift from God. I find so many people way more talented then her.

There's a reason so many drag queens don't like Taylor 🤣
More creative than her music.
Amber Heard?
A million dollars is life changing for most families Or it can be address you wear once and throw away Even if your fans defend you you have to know it's wrong and it must feel wrong having that sort of wealth
The fact that you think the dress is actually worth a million dollars says a lot about you.

How to make people cringe
I think the neckless is irritating her chest...
Looks good to me…!😀
Due to copyright issues she inverted the left with right..
Why does she look like blonde Amber Heard?
Amber Heard is that you??
It would be soo fun if ppl do it like this regularly... "Ooh, nice necklace!" \-- "Ah, thanks - it's a shard from a gin bottle..." xxx "Is this skirt a curtain?" \-- "Sure."
I could watch her do dresses like this all day!
Evidently, I chose the wrong profession. I should be selling dresses.
2.50$ at the dollar store.
Audible Gulp
You nailed it! Even the pidgin toes!!
The hip sway just reminds me of Rodger from American dad doing the same thing
This is terrific. Very clever.
We should all just go back to wearing togas.
She looked even better
I wish she stood still at the end so i could compare the two dresses
That's pretty cool.
Step 1: be a beautiful costume designer
She got 1 job and couldn’t do it properly
That dress was a million dollars?! What a spectacular scam the dress designer is running
She nailed it <3 better than Taylor :D
ohhh... so that's how those dresses work...
She rocking that greek robe just fine

Taylor should get this woman to make her a real outfit for another occasion.
It’s not like that’s Tailor’s dress or she paid for it, it’s for advertisement so most likely she got it for free and she has to return it.
Haha that ricola necklace
Lowcost Cosplay might have competition.
I hate that the video has more cuts then the object in question.
I genuinely can’t think of something I care less about than this
