EID is a blessing, it is a gift from our Creator, and we should cherish it as such. Its our reward for the month of us sacrificing that which is generally halal... eating is natural, but we give it up for a part of day ONlY and ONLY because our creator says so, and because it pleases Him... no one would know if we ate in private but we abstain from it ONLY to please our Lord.
Ramadan is also a month to improve ourselves as Muslims (those who have "fast" tongues control it, those who are slack about Salat offer it, etc)
Having said that it does seem a bit strange that we'd spent an entire month trying to please out Lord, only to disobey Him on the day that He prescibed as our celebration, our gift, our reward.
The clothing posted above is fine (i.e. halal) for us Muslimas to wear as long as we only wear it infront of our Mahrams, or in segregated parties. We should beautify ourselves particularly on this day, and preparing for it to please Allah will have it's rewards too, as Allah has said that "He likes beauty" (paraphrasing). But there is no allowance for beautifying ourselves infront of those God Himself has forbidden.
May Allah guide us all, accept our fasts, and make us steadfast on our deen, Ameen.
