RECYCLED / UPCYCLED MATERIAL DRESS CONTEST

MILWAUKEE Repurposed Runway 2012

Black Dahlia Dress - Honorable Mention

Black Dahlia Dress was Eshi's entry to Redline Milwaukee Repurposed Runway 2012 competition and it has been awarded an Honorable Mention missing the Best of Show award by only one point - after a recount! This dress is made of one old perforated long sleeve t-shirt, one ripped up old bed sheet (few strips) and 300 cut up tall kitchen garbage bags nicely fluffed up by one very hot blow torch. This is the first dress Eshi has ever created since she started designing dresses in Second Life®. Gracefully worn by Laurel.
