 Talk about coloring outside of the lines! Bloomingdale's has teamed up with Crayola to task fashion designers with creating life-size garments out of crayons — each fashion item drawing inspiration from one of the crayon brand’s classic colors. 

“Rebecca Taylor made a bustier of crayon tips while Nanette Lepore created an overlay of lace OUT OF CRAYONS!” Bloomingdale's wrote in an official statement, adding that the ready-to-wear fabric versions will be available for purchase at their stores. The designers seemed just as thrilled to take on the challenge.

"My team spent weeks perfectly crafting our black cocktail dresses," Nanette Lepore told TODAY.com. "Forget LEGO Oscars, I’m all about crayon dresses!"

The pieces will be on display at Bloomingdale's locations in New York City as part of "100% Bloomingdale’s," a collection of designs created exclusively for the retailer.

For most people, a wedding dress is something that you only wear once. It’s to mark a special occasion in the bride’s life but it usually is never worn again. Some choose to donate them to Goodwill and some choose to preserve them in their closet as a keepsake. However, some of these dresses go to a far better use. A use that will help comfort families who have to go through an unspeakable tragedy. NICU Helping Hands is an organization that helps families cope with the loss of a newborn. They believe that these deaths are sacred and these babies should be honored. This organization repurposes these old wedding dresses and turns them into beautiful gowns that the baby can be buried in. They work with a group of volunteers who make these special garments and present them to the families. “Often, we would just wrap little babies just in tiny little hospital blankets or washrags or towels, and we didn’t really have much to offer those families,” said Amy Vickers, a former NICU nurse who saw a need and volunteered to sew. “It doesn’t take the hurt away from them. But it just lets them know that we feel like their baby’s life means something.”

I'm going to a house party. I found a dress that I love and would look amazing but it's ankle length and has a wide side slit coming up to the hip. It also has corset detailing on the back. The sleeves end right above my elbow. It's gorgeous but I'm worried it might be too dressy for this particular party. I'm wearing tan chunky heel booties. I thought about maybe putting a jacket over it or something..I just have no idea what to do. Help!

Hey everyone.
I’m getting a custom leather jacket made. I’m using leather as the main fabric but I want something like cotton to give it a different look. I can’t seem to find any heavy cottons that would go with the leather. Any suggestions? Lamb leather but need a cotton it’s for the summer. Thank you.

I have this really cute crop top from forever 21. I’ve worn it many times, but never has it looked THAT great. What kinds of bottoms should I pair it up with? Or even, is it okay for a D-cup, hourglass shaped girl like me to be wearing a loose crop top?

Maybe it’s just me, but I always find it hard to still dress nicely and show off my style during the winter! It’s only fall, but it’s already freezing cold, and I’m always just wearing jeans and jackets. I’d rather wear skirts/shorts with tights, but sometimes its too cold for that too! Other than scarves, what are some tricks to still being able to show off your fashionable side during the colder months? Thanks!

I pretty recently moved to a city, so I've been used to not worrying so much about the weather/rain when I'm going out because I could just drive everywhere, pull right up, and not get wet.

But given that going out in the city requires a ton of walking around and I've found it's impossible to get cabs when its raining, I'm wondering if you guys dress down when you're going out in bad weather or do you just suck it up? I'm supposed to be going to a formal event this upcoming week and the forecast looks terrible which is why this is on my mind. I have my outfit all planned, including some killer Louboutins and a Prada clutch :) But I'm now second guessing that a bit.

What do you guys suggest? Go all out and deal with getting an outfit wet [and worst case falling in a puddle lol :P] or dress down a bit? Any success or horror stories related to weather? And what do you do for makeup & hair?

Thanks :)

Vancouver has the least of the rain right now, and I wish all those well who are going through troubles with the storms.
I am wondering though, what are some cute outfit ideas for the pouring rain when all you really want to wear is a big cozy sweater jeans and some gum boots?!

And let someone else wear that beautiful feeling of envy is really good, the price is not too expensive, multiple-choice sisters compare it under some clothes, http: //www.fobuy.com/categor/1/1/1/1 /40/Women-s-Dresses.htm, spending over $ 20 as well as gifts to send

My second semester of high school is coming and that means that I have to get some new shoes.

Getting new shoes is no big deal. I'm able to pick good style shoes that goes with the school's color or random. However the brand that I mostly use are Vans since it's a really cool shoe to be wearing in high school with classmates. However after reaching size 11, it was impossible for me to find a Vans shoe in that size.

So my question is very simple: any good, cool, and popular shoe brands I can wear that can be size 11 or above and has different type of styles?

Thank You.

Fashion is important for me because it helps me with my confidence. I could wake up in a totally crappy mood but once I put on a cute blouse and cardigan my mood goes up and I'm happy. Sounds a bit funny but its true. Hasn't this happened to you? We dress to how we feel. Not only can it help with my confidence but its a way to express myself and show how I want to be seen by the world ( BTW the "Don't judge a book by its cover" expression doesn't work! were human its our first instinct to judge! we just choose to ignore it at times.) Anyway... That's why fashion is important to me, what about you?

I'm 17, my height is 4'10 and i weigh about 70 pounds, and no i don't have an illness or anything, just the way my body is. I was just wondering if there are any online stores, or stores in general for petite, short skinny girls? it's really difficult finding clothes for my age when nothing fits me! and i'm obviously not gonna shop in the kids section xD any suggestions would be great thanks!

Bought this dress for New Years and I have no idea what to accessorise with it or what colour heels to wear it! I dont even know what makeup or hair style I should wear with it. (help!)
I'm mixed race, with a winter holiday tan, brown eyes and curly brown/ blonde highlighted hair. Was thinking about straightening my hair as its a special occasion :)
