Yes my friends...the time has come for all to veiw the infamous skittles dress.
stats: 101 wrappers 15 hours
story: Well i was invited to prom yet again this year and felt like doing something a little out of the box. I'm very interested by all the unconventional materials people sew with (i believe it was the garbadge bags that gave me the idea) anyways seeing as im also trying to build a portfolio i figured why not. And so many cavities and sugar highs later it was complete. Really i automatically knew i would use skittle wrappers (because they are fantastic and rainbow...and i love fantastic rainbow things) I also wanted to make sure nobody else had made a dress or anything out of the same kind of wrapper.
Technically it was first worn to my highschool's film fest, in which it somewhat accidentally won firstplace for costume.
At prom it was a total hit...throughout the entire night i had people taking pictures and running up to talk to me and stuff--(pretty cool seeing as i didnt know all that many people there)
Anyways all in all i'm very happy with how it turned out and can't wait to have it in my june show.
I did something like that for a fashion show at school. I had a corset and skirt (with wings) all made from recyclable materials. Everyone was so nice about it, but I would never had been brave enough to wear it to something like a prom... Btw i love the sour skittles, they have pineapple flavour!
i love clothing of recycled material, have you posted a photo? id love to see it.
reality tv seems to have made it more acceptable, what with project runway and those types of shows being more popular. Just being confident and nonchalant about it helps alot.
hah...only original for me...though i may never want to see a skittle again in my life.

This is fantastic, I don't know if skittles will allow but I think you could turn a profit!
