I finally told my friend Sarah that her 'wearable art' piece looked like a melted trash bag

We were at a gallery opening in Portland last month, and she was showing this huge, shapeless black vinyl dress. I said it felt more like a statement about waste than fashion, which honestly hurt her feelings (I know, I know). But it made me think, when does a design idea cross the line from being bold to just being a costume? Has anyone else had a moment where they just couldn't get behind a friend's design vision?

Honestly it's just clothes, not a peace treaty. If she likes her melted trash bag look that's her business. You don't have to get behind every weird idea your friends have.

Wendy674 has a point, but I used to be way more critical before my own weird project got roasted.
