Zombie Unicorn Dress

At last! As promised in my T&TT - Zombie Edition post, I present to you... the zombie unicorn dress! I first saw Helena, one of the Locketship girls, wearing another version of this dress at Unique LA (photo near the bottom of the post). Of course, I asked her where she got her amazing dress. She told me about Hell Bunny, the brand, and suggested I look on punk.com, where she got hers.

Getting it was a long ordeal. Hell Bunny is based in the UK and appears to sell exclusively through retailers (no direct retail sales). This means two things: 1.) availability in the U.S. is limited and inconsistent, and 2.) sizing is different. I waited weeks for it to become available, then ordered as soon as it was up. Ended up exchanging for size, only to find that it had become unavailable again in my desired size. GRR!! Waited over a month for it to be back in stock. Finally, it was, so I ordered immediately. At long last, it arrived. And fits! It's a tiny bit tight, but I'll take it. Frustrating, but I daresay it was worth the wait. =) I was also excited to wear some of my Callow Lily accessories, including one of my all-time favorite necklaces!




FACT: This isn't even the most ridiculous unicorn dress I own.





Naturally, I had to try some zombie poses. Necessary, right? Of course, I don't have the first clue how to make an appropriate zombie facial expression. So Jacob made fun of me as I tried out a few.

Slow motion shouting zombie?


Ridiculous/crazed zombie?


Being a zombie is serious business.

Or... maybe I just need some practice. Clearly, it is not going to work to try to blend in when the zombie apocalypse arrives. Guess I'd better start practicing distance running.

This dress comes in four styles: black petal (what I wore), pink petal, black halter, or pink halter (what Helena wore). If you want to join the zombie unicorn world domination movement, you can get your own dress here (black petal style), here (pink halter style), or at various other retailers around the world. I signed up for the Punk.com newsletter, and they frequently send out sizable discount codes (often 15% - 20% off). Plus, free shipping over $75. The Hell Bunny team is also extremely helpful if you just ask questions on their facebook page. Just remember to read some charts and measure carefully (if there aren't any local retailers near you)! I am usually a US size S and the dress that ended up fitting me best is size XS.

Ready to take over the world with me?
