my dream came true, people! i was bjork for halloween. just when i thought i was going to have to pull another polyester jumpsuit out of my closet and go as a sears catalog model (again!), my best friend gennan presented me with the most amazing birthday present on the planet: my very own swan dress.
gennan and her mom, lynn, constructed the fabulously feathery frock using a vintage dress as the base and hand-crafted it from there. i felt like an icelandic princess.
thank you, gennan and lynn! you complete me.

Now... who are these fairies gennan and lynn? How could I be friends with them...? This is indeed the BEST GIFT EVER!
You make awesome Bjork!

So cute! I can't believe how hated that dress was when it was so utterly charming. Proof again that people have no taste.

Are you selling this dress by chance? I'm looking for a swan dress for Halloween...

OMG, kindred spirits! My mom made me a swan dress a few years ago, and it's the best Halloween costume I've ever had. Love it!
