Wednesday Wearables: Trompe L'oeil dress

We love a bit of trompe l'oeil around here. Such simple techniques can be used to provoke a really strong reaction in the viewer, as their expectations are suddenly tricked - making you, the crafter, into someone very, very powerful!

The technique used here is basic stitching, but it's been used to create the appearance of a rain mac on this ordinary cotton shift dress. The project is by Craftster user LittlePierre, who made it up as part of her senior design class at Florida State University. We suspect she'll go far. [Via Craftzine]
