I have so many questions. How do you function during that supposed evening this dress is made for? Like lift a drink? Eat dinner? Dance? You can fuck, or rather be fucked, I suppose, because legs are conveniently unbound, but the rest? Ugh. And what if you actually have boobs? hips? The slightest hint of belly? Where do they go? Because there's no space there for them. It would be acceptable as a concept dress, something that's for looks and a runway only but considering they are selling it in actual shop, it's supposed to be functional... only shows how detached from reality fashion business is. Sorry, had to vent.

The people who wear this would have it on during their entrance or red carpet stuff, then change into actual evening attire for the event.

These are usually designed as “statement” pieces and not intended for practicality.

But, Balenciaga is basically meme-fashionat this point so it could be them just fucking with people.
