Military Dad Makes Daughter's Prom Dress: It's Camo

[CanadianCowboysFan]

:laugh2: You just love to stir the pot. I was impressed with the dad for his perseverance, his creativity and the obvious love he has for his daughter. As for what jeans I wear, let's just say that price and fit, rather than the label are the deciding factor.

I suspect you are a True Religion kind of guy.

The shock value of you and over priced jeans has long since worn off.

The problem is that Wranglers are often part of that whole overpriced jeans routine. I just noticed in that article that she had shotgun shells sewn into the dress. What's that about?

:laugh1: :laugh2: I had to look that up. I nearly fell over laughing when I saw them.

Wrangler, Lee and other cheap brands are stiff, rough and coarse. They just don't feel good at all.

I kind of like them a bit heavy. They stand up better when dealing with lumber or outdoor work. Unlike Anderson Cooper, I wash my jeans. After a couple of sessions of heavy use and a couple of good washes, they're okay. Please don't tell me you get your jeans at Harry Rosen or Henry Singer, with a pleated waist. You'd lose your Man Card for sure.

Hey, when your Dad is making your Prom Dress, that's what passes for Bling!

The obvious question would be: Are the shells empty or is a 12 guage a substitute for a corsage?

No, I have a cheap pair from RW & Co, they were about $70.00. My other two are Rock Revival jeans, about $150 a pair.

Very stylish. I can't bring myself to spend a bundle on jeans. The last two pairs I bought was at Eddie Bauer and I laid out a total of $60 for two pairs. I do have a pair of Wranglers for sessions of Redneck-Camo. They're for goin' to the Rodeo. Yee-Haw!

Good dad!

Dang, I start to pass at $20. Of course, no one in their right mind takes fashion advice from me. I just don't care.

On the contrary Argle, I can absolutely take your advice here. I am all for passing on overly expensive jeans. I will spend money on good quality jeans but not because I want to. I just can't always find deals on them.

I see nothing at all wrong with your advice.

How can you find anything for under 20 unless you buy at a thrift shop like Macklemore?

 

[viman96]

Looks better than expected. Definitely better than the dresses made from duct tape

I like the thought and love behind making his daughters dress. But that thing is HIDEOUS! If my date showed up in that dress, I would be heated.

I suspect she has no date.

Don't be mean. It's a good story about a pretty good dad. As for what constitutes hideous, be careful next time you look in the mirror. If my date showed up in that dress, I know she's likely armed to the teeth with a matching shotgun and 9mm handgun. Dad's no dummy. The only heat you might feel is the heat from shotgun pellets wizzing past your testicles.

You forgot about the barbed wire underwear.

Why, she's not wear Wranglers.

Of course you do .....the word military was in the title of the article so you have to take whatever shots you can get away with.
