Rodent of Unusual Size

Nothing like a giant-mouse maxi skirt to freshen up an otherwise dull wardrobe. This vintage get-up says something, but what exactly?

"I am a professional."

"Beware the Rodent of Unusual Size."

Nail it & I'll send you a gift of some sort.  I'm in the thick of fabric design and can use a good laugh -- clearly.

I missed the end of the auction while I was out of town or I might have caved. I imagine wearing this number to the studio with a white shirt, drippy earrings, and an I'm-dead-serious business-bun. There would be a candy bar in store for whomever on my team snickered first. 

Missed opportunity : (

*said in a deadpan voice...* Is this skirt cheesy?

[Sheryl]

or is it just saying, "I'm a bit of a nutter!!" ??
Alternatively, that mouse has kind of a hypno-mouse thing happening, a kind of a "look into my eyes and then hand over the cheese" so I'm thinking this skirt is for all the brie lovers out there.

[Wendy]

LOL! Love it! Wish you could have retrieved and worn it though! It either says "I'm a fashion victim in desperate need of attention" or "Wannabe Mickey Mouse" IDK Any way you look at it, this is a dreadfully funny skirt!

[Ange Moore]

I'd have to cut holes where the eyes are so my knees peeked through! Maybe then you could draw various kids of eyes on your kneecaps to brighten up you day even more (as if that skirt wouldn't be enough).

That is one very odd skirt whichever way you look at it.

[Holly]

To me this skirt says "I ate the cat"

[Heather]

I "mouse(must)" admit that this clothing has a certain "je ne sais croix(I don't know what)". But "cheese(geez)" it sure looks "gouda(good)"!
"Rodent(wouldn't)" you like to know what people would say if you were able to wear it?
I would say it is "mousevelous"!

[Rosanne Derrett]

With apologies to Ray Parker Jr

[Rachal]

I can just see a photographer wearing this and yelling "Say cheese and I'll shoot ya"

But that's just me.

And we'd love some sneaks of the new fabric. lol

[Brianna]

"Give me the cheese platter and no one gets hurt!" or a good way to get everyone off the floor and up on chairs, "AHHHH mouse" style!

[Angela H.]

Ain't nothin' "Minnie" about me!

[Margie P.]

"Mouse is the new poodle." This thing is great!

[PioneerValleyGirl]

I like to imagine the thought-process that concluded with "yep, that skirt needs a giant mouse on the front with creepy eyes and a military bearing"

[Thomas Knauer]

Now I have to make a Rodent of Unusual Size dress for my 2yo daughter. There goes my schedule for the day.

[sarah]

Yo, watch out peeps 'cuz da mouse IS IN da HOUUUUUUSSSSE.

[Veronica]

Realy? It's a giant mouse on your cloths. Is this for an adult?
You can run, but you can't hide from "MOUSEZILLA"

[Carmen (Country Mouse)]

Perhaps wearing this skirt would scare away the mouse I hear in the cupboard. Eeeek!

[Leslie Plank]

...just when you thought my hair was mousy...

[Kelly G.]

Oh man! Our small town in Wisconsin just celebrated Cheese Days. You could have totally worn this there and been a super star!

[Leigh Ann Tennant]

"A little cheese never hurt anyone.."

[bess]

this skirt totally hisses "say 'hello' to my little friend......" :)

[cabesh]

"Wesley, what about the R-O-U-Ses?"
"Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think the exist."

Who doesn't love the Princess Bride? :)

[Doris]

That would scare the crap out of my two cats! He looks purely evil... And what's with the pom-pom fringe?!

I'm a big fan of the MouseBusters comment above, she should take the cake. (I mean, cheese.)

BTW...what exactly were you searching for that you came across this auction???? Do tell.

[Holly]

Princess Bride! =)

[Tabitha O.]

LOL one of my favorite movies of all time...just let my daughter watch it as they are old enough to get it and fall in love with it...I too would wear that skirt! Ah Wesley "as you wish"....thanks for showing that skirt!

[Nina]

Haha for some reason that reminds me of the couch dress. Take a look and have a laugh: http://www.thefashionpolice.net/2008/03/couch-dress.html
Best wishes from Germany :)

[cheryl]

No more rhyming. I mean it.

Does anyone have a peanut??

[Cynthia M]

"I'm with skirt."

[Tressa]

It reminds me of a school teachers skirt maybe with the thought, "this is what happened to the last student who thought they'd misbehave..."

[Julie Figueroa]

"There's a rat in the kitchen, what am I gonna do" Sorry, I love that reggae song!

[CrystalK]

I kind of imagining it being for all those moms whose little sweet kids are trying to hide from the strangers their moms are talking to. You know the ones that hide behind their moms legs or cover their faces with moms skirt. This skirt would be perfect for that. Hide the kid (cause he's obviously too shy) and the eyes could be openings for the little darling to peek out of so they don't get claustrophobic.

[Caroline]

The official housewife's mouse chasing apron! of course!

[Cara]

I think this skirt could be called Squeak Chic.

[gina f.]

my first thought was ,"Hand over the cheese and nobody gets hurt", but that thought has occurred to others before me. Have a good day!

[malinda]

I'm a good witch not a bad witch :) I would totally wear that too :)

[Emily]

"I eat small, naughty children."

Hilarious skirt!

[Heather F]

Nutter.

[Maria]

Easy cheesy. It says "I am THE big cheese. "

[jen shears]

I am LOVING the comments!!! I also love the Princess Bride.... So I would say you could name it aaaaaaaas yyyoooooooouuuu wiiiiiisssshhhh! :)
(although my fave comment was 'does this look cheesy?!)

[Cortnie]

Mouse in the House!

[kristie]

Coach and Louis Vuitton all leave their brands in oversized ways on their products, so this is how I imagine the mice on Cinderella left their trademark on the back of the dress they made for her. Rodent chic.

[Helen]

'You're all so last season'

[Rebecca u]

I want to be Ms. Frizzle (Magic School Bus) when I grow up.

Every time I see the capybaras at Happy Hollow I simply must quote The Princess Bride. http://www.hhpz.org/index.cfm/id/70/

[Natalie VV]

Could this be what Cinderella wore on casual Fridays? Perhaps Beatrix Potter tried her hand at fabric design before she turned to children's books. Or, and lastly, was there a third mouse in Disney's arsenal: Micky, Minnie, and Maxi?

[Heather McLeskey]

How about:
"The cheese stops here!"

:)

[Heather Bailey]

The cheese STARTS here.

You guys are awesome. These comments are making my day in a big way.

[Natalie Lymer]

Does my mouse (butt) look big in this?

[Anna M]

the blind wearing the blind
(minus one blind)

[Alisa]

That mouse is actually a fashionista. She is slightly awkward due to her size (too much Gorgonzola cheese) But she loves parties and dressing up. Her name is Glitz and would appreciate some bling for each of lovely pink ears. Have fun wearing her....she (and you) deserve it. :)

[LK]

The Princess Bride is the greatest movie of all time! R-O-U-S es!

[Kimberly]

"Here Kitty, Kitty."
