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?!?

Can't even tell it's a dress. Waste of plastic bags. Doesn't look like art or fashion to me.

I didn't like the gummy bear dress, but at least it actually looked like a dress. It looks like she just took a blue tarp, grabbed two corners and wrapped herself in it... and then went "This is a dress, I should showcase this"

It's rude to say tacky. She took a lot of time and creativity to make that and everyone is saying it's taking. Bunch of rude little pricks if you ask me.

Great idea but with that many bags she should have been able to make 50 to 100 dresses.

Too much emphasis on fashion these days. Go for comfort, and if that's what does it for you, go for it

That is a dress?

If you're going to recycle something into clothing, you might try making it look like clothing a person would actually want to wear.
