Loved the challenge.
I went looking within my own inventory to see any cocktail Runway dresses.

This reminds me of the floaty two tone with the hankie hem:




Stips of a vintage kind:




And this could have been Cher look-a-like's:






Love the winner~andapanda-rlf

This week's Project Runway challenge was to create a 'Green' Cocktail dress. Meaning it had to be environmentally friendly, made from organic fabrics from Mood.
Suede was the winner with a dress made of strips of organic satiny fabric in ivory and red, with a pouffy skirt. 150 of the dressed will be made and sold on Bluefly for $280.

So, when I went to bed last night, thinking about this post of course, I wondered how was I going to find vintage items made from organic fabric? But then I remembered that wearing vintage is a form of recycling, you are reusing a resource that's already out there, very environmentally firendly - so ALL vintage is green! Knucklehead.

That suddenly made my challenge of finding vintage related to this week's challenge very easy, because there are alot of great vintage cocktail dresses out there. Here are a few -
