Lady Gaga was notoriously known for wearing a meat dress at the MTV 2010 Music Awards, and the 'Cuts of Meat dress' is a more downplayed version of Lady Gaga's eye-catching ensemble.
The idea behind the meat diagram dress came from Kelly Eident of 'imyourpresent' at Etsy. The dresses are made using creme jersey as their main fabric. The dresses outline various parts of the female anatomy in the vocabulary normally verbalized by those high in testosterone. The outfits are essentially diagrams for meat cutters, but instead of cattle it's a female body.
The quirky dresses take an interesting approach to objectifying the female body. These meat dresses probably aren't suitable for Sunday school, but they would certainly be perfect for a costume party or night out with friends.
