Round two of collegiate basketball has started this week, and it has gotten more intense. Students and alumni flock to the stadiums, armed with banners and suited up in their university’s colors.

And never has school spirit been so alive and stylish, I should say. Witty statement shirts and cool graphic tees have invaded the campuses. One such clothing line caught my eye—the Jersey Dress. As basic as the name, they’re dresses inspired by basketball jerseys that are tailor-fit for ladies. Yes, ladies, they custom-make these dresses just for you.

This ingenious project came about when UAAP courtside reporter Sharon Yu wanted to wear a jersey dress to her school’s pep rally and asked schoolmate Patrick Giron to make one for her. Giron is known for making jerseys, so it was a cinch to make a feminine version for Yu. It was an obvious hit as people immediately placed orders. This led to a third partner, Rachel Guerrero, who handled the sales and put up an online shop via Multiply (among others) for interested customers.

Barely two years old, the Jersey Dress has already been featured in shows such as Unang Hirit on GMA 7, One Morning Show on RPN 9, Hardball on Studio 23, and Fashionistas by Heart on Qtv.  Personalities have also placed orders, with Isabelle Daza as one of those who quickly became fans of the Jersey Dress.

Two hundred happy ladies have been seen wearing these cool jersey dresses—all custom fit as each is only made once you’ve submitted your order. Visit their site (http://jerseydress.multiply.com) to check out the size chart.  You can even request for minor changes, and even adjust the length of the dress, if you want.  As for the material, the stretchable Spundy fabric is used, which is quite cool to the body.

They offer two playful designs: the basic and the off-shoulder dress.  No two are alike, as you get to choose the color combination, number, and team name for your special jersey. Your school icon is imprinted on the dress, too!  All for an affordable price of P550 for the basic, and P600 for the off-shoulder design.  Even better news, get discounts for every three or more dresses. So, get your friends to place orders and show up at the court in these cute jerseys.
