Is geek the new chic?

After reading this proposal story from Wired Magazine, you might want to dump the jock and date the dweeb:)

It’s amazing to see such tech-savvy minds unleash their creativity!

Style Shake

Style Shake is a virtual design studio that takes fashion to a whole new level!
If you believe there is no such thing as the “perfect dress,” this might just change your mind…

Style Shake gives women the opportunity to dream up their own couture dress (and/or other garments and accessories).The fun begins by choosing from a wide range of high quality fabrics in many available colors. The styles and fabrics are abundant and up to date with the latest runway trends.

The Style Shake design tool will guide you through the creative process.  From head to toe, you can manipulate the cut, shape, length and style of your garment.

Finally, you can add stylish extra touches and embellishment including;  box pleats, fancy frills, bows, sashes, jackets, fabric flowers and more!

When you buy your one of a kind design, it will be constructed and tailored to fit your exact body measurements and is ready to be worn in just ten days!
Dresses are individually priced per design, and extremely reasonable in cost considering the result.

Style Shake for weddings puts an end to the sticky problem of trying to please everyone in your bridal party (including the moms).

Interested brides can request and receive fabric and color samples to find their perfect wedding hue. Your bridesmaids can add their unique sense of style and are sure to treasure the, often dreaded, dress buying experience.

Design and create coordinated or complimentary looks, or offer your choice of fabric and color and let your maids do the rest…it’s up to you!

Style Shake is convenient for maids living in various locations, as a computer (and maybe measuring tape) is all that’s needed.  If the purchase does not fit exactly as desired, alterations are 100% FREE of charge.

The fact that these “haute couture” dresses are likely to actually save your gals money is unbelievable! Dresses typically range from $60 to $200.
