For the record, I am wearing the hippo skirt right this moment, and while shopping today had a guy in a store go "Oh my god that chicks skirt has ....rhino's? NO! Hippo's on it! And one is biting another one! That is so cool!" He then turned to the other three guys around him and pointed it out to them.
And the dress? Well, the sleeves were still WAY to puffy, but with some minor adjustments through safety pins they have been de-puffified a fair bit.
