Nicole Lindner, a clothier hailing from Chesterfield, UK , made this whimsical dress patterned after 3-D glasses (the British kind, with the green lens). It’s a fun outfit for a costume ball or a romantic night on the town. The dress is not mass-produced, she makes limited batches and sells them on Etsy.com. She’s sold out now, but maybe she’ll make more. Because I have some suggestions for the next round.
The glasses seem backwards to me. If the notch in the side is supposed to represent the nose of the glasses, then shouldn’t the red lens be on top? Because if you rotate a pair of 3D glasses 90 degrees counter-clockwise, the red lens is on top. Unless I’m wrong.
Also, I think I would like it even better if the lenses were transparent. But maybe that’s just me.

That is very cool. Actually, both Red/Cyan and Cyan/Red are used. True, Red lens over left eye is more common, both both are made and both are used.
Yeah, I have seen some with the lenses the other way. But I guess I was comparing the dress to the glasses the model was wearing, I thought those should match.
Hello! I am so glad you featured my item! But, I am from the USA, Detroit MI (not the UK!) The lenses can go either way, but you are supposed to be viewing the object direct on, so the back is correct placement (if that makes sense!) and I think a see through version would be so oh la la, for a risky lady!
Thank you for the correction, Nicole! Your Etsy page just says you are from “Chesterfield” so I wrongly assumed it was the town in England.
