Unconventional Fashion

The other day while killing time reading Urlesque, I came across an article showing pictures of clothing made out of food. Now while dresses made of meat, chocolate, and lettuce might not be practical, it still amazes me how people can use everyday objects to create wearable works of art. It reminded me of a fashion show I saw on TV, where all the clothes were made out of everyday objects such as light bulbs and how a girl at my high school made her prom dress out of Skittles wrappers for her senior project. It got me thinking: What other everyday objects do people use to make clothes? So here are some of the weird household items people use to make dresses, purses and a lot more.

Newspaper

Broken China

Imagine trying to sit down in this.

Flowers

A fragrant dress for those who love flowers.

Shopping Bags

The perfect way for any shopaholic to recycle those extra shopping bags.

Diapers?

It wouldn't be my first choice but it's definitely creative.

Car Radiator Copper

This has to be the most unusual dress material I've ever seen, but it's still beautiful.

Money

Well if you've got it...flaunt it. (But imagine all the shoes you could buy with that)

Duct Tape

Nowadays you can get duct tape in any color or pattern, and girls are taking advantage of this and using duct tape to custom make their prom dresses.

Food
This bride's future husband decided to make his bride a one-of-a-kind dress, unfortunately he's a pastry chef.


When they have an entire fashion show dedicated to clothes made from chocolate, you know you're in for a treat that would put Willy Wonka to shame.
