Still trying to come up with a graduation dress? Look no further than your math homework. That's exactly what 17-year-old Canadian student Kara Koskowich did, using almost 75 pieces of paper to make a unique and inexpensive frock.

grad dress

"For me, it's not a big, spend your money, you have to look this nice, you have to fit into this mold of grad," Koskowich told CBC. "It's supposed to look like an explosion," she added. Koskowich started making the dress in March, but didn't finish until the night before graduation. She stood beside her friend Dorothy Graham, who made her dress out of plastic shopping bags.

"It was actually funny because everyone was wearing these elegant dresses and we're in dresses that cost nothing and we were the most popular people there," Graham told CBC. What do you think of Koskowich's dress? Pretty clever -- or pretty ugly?

    as long as the person has something other then paper cover her body. just wearing a paper dress is kinda asking to be rapedisn't it.

    if it is not to be wore then it is pretty cool.
  • XSummer... Confede... 2012/06/13 05:59:28
    XSummerX Tokio Hotel Freak(=
    Yes, because that's what a dress made of homework is saying "Please rape me."

    depends on who you are around or perhaps ity is saying to everyone I am a smart ass .
  • alex Confede... 2012/06/13 16:19:45

    Actually, i think its pretty neat. I hope it doesn't rip or anything. The girl has a great artistic imagination...her call may be fashion.
  • Confede... JJ 2012/06/12 19:55:18

    someone can rip it on purpose for whatever reason. I think it is cool but shuold not be woe in public anywhere or anytime . make a sex offenders job easier.
  • JJ Confede... 2012/06/12 23:52:17

    Yep, you're right, forgot about that part. Maybe she could use that talent for making doll clothes for those that are collectors.
  • Confede... JJ 2012/06/13 00:07:31

    yep I might add she is pretty . shame sometimes being such a turn off for females lol.
  • JJ Confede... 2012/06/13 00:44:34

    Its good to be cautious. She does have a cute imagination and one day I'm sure it will be used the right way.

    I am happy being single . did you hear about those 6 yankee soldiers they found from the american civil war in 2009 Ya will see me in this video.
  • JJ Confede... 2012/06/13 03:06:55
    JJ
    No, I didn't hear about them. I did enjoy the video and the history behind it. The music sounds a bit Irish and seems to blend right in with the video. It is sad knowing that throughout history, so many have lost their lives and families lost their love ones. But,I too realize in order to be free and love ones to be free, we may have to fight for it...but, at least we have a good reason to fight. Thank you!
