I love this dress, and I know a super trendy girl would love it too. The pockets are so cool. But it has not budged. The price seems to be just above average compared to other "avant garde" dresses being sold.

Do you think it would do better on eBay?

I bet it would do better on Ebay! It's for the right girl - one who is trendy and not afraid to widen her hips with those pockets ;) A similar type dress (in that there were flared hip pieces) was made last week on Project Runway - it was really cool! So perhaps the 'masses' might be looking for something like it? Just my 2 cents ;)
 
oooo this dress is very "now".... i love it!!

sculptural tailoring....origami....

maybe the size is affecting buyers?? what are the measurements like??--> you would need a great body/confidence for this....
 
OK, guys...I gotta ask....what IS 'avant garde' clothing.

Last time I checked (about 1957) 'avant garde' was an insult, like 'egghead' and 'pseudo-intellectual'....usually slung at commie pinko fags, artists, and slackers by mr averageamerican.
 
avant garde typically just means something that's "different" or not "mainstream".

wikipedia has a good definition which includes the following:

Avant-garde (pronounced [avɑ̃gaʁd] in French) means "advance guard" or "vanguard".[1] The adjective form is used in English, to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.

Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. The notion of the existence of the avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of modernism, as distinct from postmodernism. However, this is not true in the case of music as many pieces are still being released which are generally considered avant-garde in popular culture.[2] Many artists have aligned themselves with the avant-garde and still continue to do so, tracing a history from Dada to the Situationists to postmodern artists such as the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E writers in the 1980's to many art collectives in the "post-postmodernist"[3] times of today.[
 
on eBay, Avante Garde seems to be the latest KWS term for just about anything 80s.
