There's a growing trend in fashion to create couture gowns out of non-traditional fabrics -- and this latest design blows all the rest out of the water. Pun intended. A team of designers created a vibrant floor length dress out of leftover fabric from Team USA, Israel, GB, Australia, Germany, Spain, Japan, Canada, and Netherlands Olympic Speedos. The Speedo-couture gown is flattering and made to sculpt the body, but it is also functional -- designed to "withstand swimming." What do you think of the dress? Is it chic or tacky?

+1Love it! No waste AND very beautiful! I would wear one!reply - Soms Cougli 2012/08/29 05:03:03ChicI think it looks wonderful! Like stained glass. It's a beautiful effect, and a great look. If you ignore the "Speedo" element of the design, and look at the actual dress, it's stunning.reply

reply - Cori Valerie© 2012/08/29 02:18:38+2My exact current posititon. Once again, you are stuck dealing with idiots. And not even a good comeback, on the humor level **or** on the literal level. I must add ("like your birth". Was your birth an ideal in itself? No. Did it happen "these days"? No.) I agree with you, Valerie, and I'm going to use some third level sarcasm I know 'Emmy' won't understand: "Emmy's birth was a bad idea in those days."reply
