The bad news: most mainstream retailers have not caught on yet.
The good news: Teen Vogue has a great DIY project this month where Jason Wu shows you how to create brushstrokes on your own dress - hurray!
You basically just need a cotton dress and some fabric paint (see the detailed instructions here) and...
...Voila! A lovely runway-worthy dress for less.
(I'm I just getting older or are fashion designers getting younger by the second?)CL

I need to try that DIY but on a tshirt. I paint so I have tubes of paint laying around the house.
Cool! So easy to make.
Haha yeah designers are getting younger.
What time of paint do you use on clothing?? Acrylic??
Sweet dress..
i'm going to go out and buy a bunch of white t-shirts and try that. and then when i feel more comfortable with it, i'll buy a white dress.
and he does look very young! how old is he?
I love this idea. It reminds me of the recent vogue shoot with Kate Bosworth where she wore a multi painted dress. I think it is so cool and I'm def. going to copy cat it. Just have to find a whit dress...
beautiful dress. i love it!!
i've been meaning to try this! so easy.
Thanks, ACP!
Wendy - that's brilliant! I'd wear a brushstrokes shirt more than a dress.
Alya, glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Secretista, I believe they just say to use fabric paint.
Lyn, i even like the dress without the brushstrokes.
O Lady E, I think he's 25 - he looks even younger!
Clare, I loved that Vogue shoot. Let me know if you find a white dress.
Ediot, I can't wait to see if other bloggers do this project.
Caroline, let me know how it goes!

yeah the designer look so young ..or maybe its only a youthful face, like me, people always ask me in a boring humor, what grade are you, like 12grade? *D
