If the price was right, would you wear clothing made out of milk?

QMilch claims to be the
first man-made fiber produced entirely without chemicals, but that
doesn't come cheap. The designer estimates the quantity of milk
needed to create one dress costs around $200. We know the concept
of milk clothing seems bizarre, but the garments (pictured at
right) look totally normal. And the process sounds pretty
incredible, not to mention environmentally friendly. Domaske told
Reuters it has no smell and feels just like silk, but you can
wash it in a machine with no worries. Another impressive fact:
Domaske said "amino acids in the protein are antibacterial,
anti-aging and can help regulate both blood circulation and body
temperature." Seriously?! If this is true, we're sold.
Celebs like Mischa Barton and Ashlee Simpson
are already fans of the brand, so we may see them wearing milk
clothing soon.
Sounds good to me. I would wear it..

When do we dictate that people have too much time on their hands?
More amazing is the fact that the fiber has multiple health benefits according to the Reuters article, and "[d]ue to its anti-bacterial qualities, [it] can also be used in medicine and makeup. Even some auto companies have looked into using the fiber for car upholstery."
