This dress seems like something straight out of Gary Shteyngart’s Super Sad True Love Story. It's almost a cross of the 'onion-skin' jeans and the apparats that everyone wears.
If you haven't read the book (you should): Apparats: It’s a wonderful invention that ranks everybody. When I enter a bar in downtown Manhattan, my entire history is broadcast to everybody, and immediately everyone knows I’m the eighteenth ugliest man in the room but I have the fourth-best credit rating.
