    Yeah. I bet it was a competition for using recycled materials to make garments. I've seen weaver buddies make really cool vests out of garbage bags.

    Recycled? As in reused?

    Uh....no. I think they were surplus unused. The vest was great--very chic, actually.

    I don't think her father made it for her!

    Flybye - check out the fellow looking at the "party" dress. It's a clue, he has on a name tag type thing, and is wearing a red ribbon pin, isn't that for HIV/Aids awareness? Or anti-drug use or something? I bet this was part of an event to promote awareness about HIV/Aids somehow. Tokie.

    I was curious about this so googled 'condom dress' and found more pics of this one and lots of pics of others. http://ahboon.net/2007/07/19/condom-...show-in-china/ and http://pandagon.blogsome.com/2006/12/08/condom-dresses/ are quite good.

    I'm with Zen. I like it. It's actually a really elegant design.

    It was likely done as an Aids awareness thing, and that's good. It's funny and creative as well.
