Earlier this summer, we introduced you to the gummy bear dress. Well, prepare yourself for the next obscure -- but much less delicious -- creation: the Ikea bag dress. The Ikea bag dress was designed by artist Ida-Marie Corell for a museum exhibit, and is comprised of 555 blue Ikea bags.

I gotta say, it kinda looks like she wrapped herself in a roll of tarp, but if you look closer you can see she used the bag handles for the straps of the dress. What do you guys think of this "gown"? Is it terrific or tacky?

Who said the 59 cent recyclable shopping bags from Ikea were only to be used for carrying around your purchased goods?!?

    And a waste. I'm all for recycling, but this isn't even pretty. Now if you want good 'recycling' designs

    recycled fashion designs recycled fashion designs recycled fashion designs recycled fashion designs recycled fashion designs recycled fashion designs

    Any of these are 100% better.

    So using any crap makes a dress? To me it looks like a pile of blue tarp sewn together to throw on a swimming pool to protect it against rubbish or something lol!

    I think if she made it able to fit a human being, it would look fine. But it just looks like she did a whole bunch of sewing, cut a hole, and jumped in.

    I don't know. I like the idea, but it looks like she just sewed the bags together with no particular design. Plus, bigger isn't always better.

    I have not heard of it until now. I just watched a video on the game and it looks cool. There are some platform games I like but it's not my favorite style. When I was young it's all we had.

    Have you played Shadow Complex (Xbox 360)? I really liked that game. It was similar to Metroid.

    The idea is a great one, but the execution:

    execution

    It looks like she simply sewed them all together, leaving a hole in the tarp, and jumped in the hole. I was expecting a true dress, not a tarp with a hole for humans to slip in. And arranging the bags' handles into the squares we see in the picture above? Would have been better if she arranged them into simple stripes.
