Brutally honest eBay post for wedding dress prompts surprising outcome

LONDON — Finding out the love of your life has cheated on you is one thing. But then having to foot the bill for the divorce? Well, that's a whole other level of awfulness. SEE ALSO: Fitness model Chontel Duncan shows us the messy side of motherhood This is the terrible situation Samantha Wragg of Chesterfield, UK,  is facing. And she's taken to eBay to sell her wedding dress. The product description of her ivory Art Deco dress is likely the darkest one to ever grace the site.  “Great condition but needs dry cleaning before wearing to get rid of the stench of betrayal,” reads the product's description.”If you want a dress that is full of bad memories and shattered hopes and dreams then this is the one for you,” it continues. Wragg apologized for the lack of photos of the dress, admitting that when she found out her husband was living with another woman, she burned and permanently deleted everything with his “disgusting” face on it.  “I didn't have time to get it dry-cleaned myself before my cheating scumbag of a husband decided to call an end to our marriage,” wrote Wragg.

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, trailblazing transgender beauty Lea T and carnival dancers will show off Brazil in its multicolor glory at the Olympic opening ceremony Friday. Rio has a hard act to follow after London 2012's alternately humorous and jaw-droppingly sophisticated version. This opening ceremony, held in a country suffering its deepest recession in almost a century, will be more modest.

AI participated in designing this supermodel-worn dress at the Met Gala

Technology has officially infiltrated fashion, and last night’s star-studded Met Gala served as proof. The glamorous event, always known to set the fashion police’s tongues wagging, took on a very 21st-century theme on Monday, with guests offering their takes on this year’s theme — Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. Thoroughly embracing this modern marriage are IBM and Marchesa, who debuted a so-called “cognitive dress” on supermodel Karolina Kurkova. On my way! @marchesafashion #MetGala #emotionalintelligence #wearabletech @ibm #MetGala2016 pic.twitter.com/nyI6OR22wC — Karolina Kurkova (@karolinakurkova) May 2, 2016 Calling it a “first-of-its-kind garment with cognitive inspiration woven into every step of the creative process — from concept and R&D, to design, and finished product,” the dress comes from the combined atelier of fashion powerhouse Marchesa and none other than IBM’s Watson. Not only is this AI powering hotel concierges, giving us recipes, and tracking the Masters golf tournament, it’s now designing dresses as well. Who says you can’t do it all? “This all started when we learned about the Met Gala theme,” Ann Rubin, VP of branded content and global creative at IBM, told AdAge.

Spanish maker of Princess Charlotte dress inundated with orders

By Sonya Dowsett MADRID (Reuters) – A family-run children's clothes shop in Spain has been inundated with orders from around the world for dresses identical to the one worn by Britain's Princess Charlotte in the latest official photos – but has enough cloth to make only 20 of them. “The biggest advertising agency in the world couldn't get this response, it's incredible,” said Margarita Pato, who realised the princess was wearing one of her designs when she saw the photos in Spain's Hola magazine. “In Spain interest has soared, but in England it's almost a revolution,” added the 62-year-old founder and designer of M&H. However, the shop is not going to crank up production in response to the overwhelming demand because there are only 10 metres left of the pink floral fabric used in the princess's outfit – enough to make just 20 more dresses.
