Bridal Lace Dress by Deborah Milner

Designer Deborah Milner used plastic bags to create a lace effect fabric with which she crafted the “Bridal Lace Dress”.  The bags were knotted using the Japanese shabori technique and then ironed between tracing paper which melted away parts of the plastic to reveal the lace design. This was then appliquéd onto silk tulle and made into the eco-friendly wedding dress.

I think the effect of this method incredible as there was a chance that this concept would just look like a dress made out of plastic bags, however, the outcome is really aesthetically pleasing and I would never have guessed the "lace" was actually plastic.
