Okay, so I saw this “Kim Kardashian Wet Dress” thing trending and I was like, “What’s the fuss?” I mean, I get it, it’s the Met Gala look, but could I even find something similar, let alone afford it? That’s what I’m going to figure out.
The Hunt Begins
First, I scrolled through a bunch of gossip sites to get a good look at the dress. It’s this crazy, skin-tight, nude-colored thing with these crystal “drops” that make it look like she just stepped out of the ocean. Super dramatic, right?
Then, I hit up some online stores. I started with the usual suspects, like, the big department stores and some of the fast-fashion places. I typed in stuff like “nude bodycon dress,” “crystal embellished dress,” and “wet look dress,” but no dice. Mostly, I just found a lot of regular cocktail dresses and some stuff that was way too sparkly.
Getting Crafty (Maybe?)
So, finding an exact replica? Seemed impossible. I started thinking, could I maybe… DIY this? I watched some YouTube videos on sewing and beading, but honestly, that’s way beyond my skill level. I can barely sew a button back on. I even considered trying to find a plain nude dress and somehow glueing on some crystals, but I figured it would end up looking like a total mess.
Reality Check
After a few hours of searching and brainstorming, I had to admit defeat. This “wet dress” look is a one-of-a-kind, custom-made masterpiece. And I was definitely going have no chance making it.
The End Results
- Found tons of pictures of the original dress.
- Searched high and low online for something similar.
- Learned My craft skill is no where near making this dress.
- Realized that recreating this look is basically impossible for a regular person.
So, yeah, my Kim K wet dress quest was a total bust. But hey, it was fun to dream for a little while, right?
