The Uniform Project: Perfect for Geeks!

Starting May 2009, I have pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion. Here’s how it works: There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day I will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accouterments, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies. Think of it as wearing a daily uniform with enough creative license to make it look like I just crawled out of the Marquis de Sade’s boudoir.
The Uniform Project is also a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India. At the end of the year, all contributions will go toward Akanksha’s School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for slum children in India.

The Uniform Project: proving expensive fashion unnecessary, increasing funds for geeky buys!
The idea is amazing. If you see what Sheena did with it to make it appropriate for a wedding, you’ll find it fabulous. She simply added a silk collar piece and a vintage doily, and it’s perfect. I won’t complain wearing adar medical uniform everyday if our hospital administration would allow us to make use of the idea.
