It seems like prom dresses get more and more out of control every year: They're too sexy, they're too expensive ... it's always something. So Diane McNease decided to a revert to a more innocent time: she created her prom dress from 18,000 Starburst wrappers.
Diane, a high school junior from northern Michigan, used the wrappers to make the bodice for her colorful dress, telling WLUC-TV it took her a year and a half to collect all the wrappers and five months to create the dress. Her school friends helped her eat her way through the project.
But she did have a little help: McNease's pal created the black satin "ball gown" skirt for the dress, she tells Yahoo! Shine. Her dad also helped. "Every night he would help hand sew the folded strips of wrappers to the dress for a few hours." Their hard work paid off when McNease wore the gown to prom last Saturday night ... do you like the crafty dress? Or do you think McNease should have gone for something more glamorous?
