Kendall Jenner’s pelvic bone cleavage at the 2014 MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada, on J8. “W hy do one slit when you can do two?” - Kendall Jenner asked rhetorically in an Instagram picture post of the Fausto Puglisi double-slit gown she wore to the 2014 MuchMusic Video Awards.

We all make sacrifices.Iggy Azalea’s pelvic bone cleavage at the 20th MTV Europe Music Awards held at Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on Novem5. This is how these dresses are designed to function, and anyone who wears them on a red carpet knows exactly what they're doing. I have decided that there is no such thing as a "wardrobe malfunction" when it comes to the super high slit. I didn't have to let men claim the right to public space. Instead, their comments reminded me that while, yes, this dress was going to get me stares, they weren't trying to claim ownership. To be frank, no matter what a woman shouts at me, I'm never afraid she's going to follow me home and kill me. The women catcalling me probably weren't doing it out of sexual attraction, but even if they were, their comments inherently had a different tone. It's weird to think that the same behavior that shut me down coming from men could lift me up coming from women, but there's gender dynamics for you. Standing on the sidewalk, I heard a woman call out "Oooh, look at those legs, girl!" Later, another one simply said "you look amazing." Four or five times, women called out compliments, and it completely boosted my self-esteem. But the stares and smiles and lingering the dress inspired suddenly made me very aware of my body, and in that moment, made me wish it didn't exist.īut before I could run back to my office to throw on an oversized sweatshirt and let my heart rate slow down, women came to my rescue. I'm here for low cut tops and booty shorts and never worry if I let a nip slip on the beach. I normally have no problem in revealing clothing (as my decision to even embark on this ridiculous task proves). I expected that to happen, because I've lived through 30 New York City summers and have gotten much worse from men (like the infamous Man Rubbing His Erection Into My Thigh On The 1 Train experience of 2012), but the looks and whispers started to make my silly endeavor feel a little more shameful. I was getting a little nervous at this point, because all the while I noticed some men leering, and one made a comment about my body. Anyone walking up toward me was in for a full crotch shot. Stairs were completely out of the question. Sitting at my desk, I had full control over the slit, and even if it started riding a little high, I could always roll under my desk. I started off doing what many stars of the silver screen do in these dresses-posing. Oh, and I got my period that morning, so I was at my most bloated and most at risk for underwear disasters. I had to borrow silicone nipple covers to avoid seeming fully nude (shout out to the office for being the type of place where multiple people have silicone nipple covers in their desks). I had not accounted for the equally low back, or the smooth, silky fabric that showed every body ripple. But presumably anyone wearing them to an event would still have to do things like descend stairs, sit down in public view, use their legs to propel themselves forward, or exist in the presence of wind.Īs soon as I tried on the dress, from Michelle Mason, I knew I was in over my head. I recognize that dresses like this are not designed to be practical for everyday use. But walking around midtown Manhattan with my vulva just one gust-of-wind-from-a-passing-bus away from the world was a nerve-wracking prospect. Also, let's face it, the high-slit is sexy as hell. I wanted to see whether a "wardrobe malfunction" was inevitable in a dress like this. Bella Hadid demonstrating how this style works.
