Awesomely Bad Runners-Up

It's the last day of voting for the Most Awesomely Bad Pattern EVER! Get your vote in by midnight EST tonight. For a little fun, I thought I'd share some of the other amazing entries. Above is one of my favorites: from Meli88a, a doggie bunting with matching chapeaus!

A bizarre silver jumpsuit, accessorized with a fanny pack! Courtesy of Kristine H:

Vicky London referred to this 70s get-up as "Reba McEntire without pants":

Sonya really brought it with these racy briefs.

And an ensemble for the Matrix fan in your life!

Pat shared this fugly apron pattern--check out the couple in the upper righthand corner. How festive are they?!



And Serendity Handmade entered this very Oliver Twist get-up:

Thanks to all who entered! It's been a wild, awesomely bad ride.

ummm....

I own the matrix costume pattern...

because I have teens who think that the matrix movies are totally cool...

and about 4-5 years ago, they dressed up as those characters for halloween...

slinking away to hide now...as everyone giggles about the pattern I just admitted to owning...

I would have so voted for the silver jumper! What a gem in the world of most awesomely bad patterns!

Gertie said...

Lady Jenn, we're not laughing *at* you, we're laughing at your children! :) No, seriously, this isn't about making fun of the people who own these patterns . . . it's just enjoying some good cheesy pattern envelopes.

Think of the poor person who had to draw the "racy briefs" cover. Just think about it. Think about coming home after a hard day at the drawing board a couple of glasses of wine, and how all your dreams of glory at RISD came down to...this.

I love the silver jumpsuit pattern - it is so totally a knockoff of Betty Boo's look. Who knew she was known well-enough to have a pattern company lift her style? (the british girl singer, not the cartoon)

I just voted -- that was a hard decision until I realized that the apron chaps weren't in the running!

This just made my day! Especially the silver jumpsuit -- holy cow, that's awful.

p.s. Lady Jenn, the fact that you own the Matrix pattern is amazing. Should I also be a bit ashamed that I'm jealous?

Nathalie said...

Dog pattern all the way... those little hats!!!

sarai said...

haha, as soon as I saw the first one I thought: doggie burrito!

Rachel said...

The one with the girl holding the dog in the bunting just about made me spit drink all over my keyboard. That is too funny!!

That last pattern would be kind of cute if it wasnt for the super duper long vest.

That sweet little Yorkie has such a "help me" look.

Kathi said...

You have to wonder how many dogs have been tormented with those things!!!

Serendipity Handmade said...

Wow, that silver jumpsuit *is* bad! But I think the ladies' jumpsuit that is in the running is far worse!

gwensews said...

The silver jumpsuit is SO Star Wars!

Sal said...

I'll freely admit that I've always wanted a Morpheus coat. Sadly, I lack the skillz to sew myself one ... Lady Jenn, perhaps I could engage your services!

Samus said...

Hahaha I own the Matrix pattern too! I've had it in my stash for years, as a cosplayer, it's actually really versatile! I haven't sewn it but I've used the pieces as reference for other more complicated coats!

Also maybe I just bought it because the Neo/Morpheus dudes made me giggle.

The underwear was a shocker.
