AWESOME: DRESS MADE OF 50,000 GUMMY BEARS
A designer dress that also satisfies our sweet tooth? Yes, please. This
latest Alexander McQueen-inspired gown combines two of our very
favorite things: fashion and candy. Made out of 50,000 gummy bears, the
rainbow dress was handmade for TWELV Magazine's debut issue and weighs
in at a hefty 220 pounds. It takes three people just to move the thing,
so this is clearly not a dress you can go out dancing in.
How
exactly is a gummy bear dress made? First, steel wire is twisted to
create the shape of the dress, then the mold is covered with a sheet of
vinyl, and finally each gummy bear is painstakingly glued on in a
chevron rainbow pattern. No surprise it took three weeks to finish this
elaborate gown.
