wooaaaaah! Yep! Thats right another heres one i made earlier...

This one started life as a peachy coloured dress from asos, pretty but Rather ill fitting. It had a waistband which seemed to be made to fit a size 4 rather than a 10 and strange gathering going on which made you look like you had boobs on your back!?! Odd! Anyway, i decided to sacrifice this one in the name of art. Firstly, it was tooo long so i hacked of the 'pretty' edging and cut into the god awful waist thing. next i cover it in white paint, i firstly attempted to use bleach... a lot of it and whereas the blasted dress remained the untouched the college chairs will never quite looked the same... My bad!

Using a bucket and other random shit from around the studio i arranged the dress so that it would dry with a crumpled effect that i could still get into. Next i attacked the 'pretty' neckline and shoulders with black paint, some black netting and more black paint on the scalloped edging (i don't throw things away easily) stitched it all together and then here we have dress no.4! :)
