Duct Tape Prom Dress

This one's a little bit more complex, but I'll start off by admitting I used a template. Instead of making my duct tape prom dress out of duct tape alone, I just cut some fabric into a pretty basic dress and taped over it. Later, when I wanted to make changes, I just cut the duct tape and fabric and re-taped it if necessary. This was really convenient for the back. The dress I started with had two straps and a back, but you can see I was going for something completely different, so I cut the whole back out and added a new strap. The hardest part was the top, which I had some help with. We just put tape anywhere we could still see the dress, and surprisingly, the slightly wrinkled tape gave it a nice texture compared to the neat, straight tape lines on the bottom. Then the electrical part was also a little bit of a challenge. I had sketched out exactly what I had in mind on paper, but I barely used it except to get ideas for shapes, and sometimes had to alter them as I went. Finally, I got to the scales (I realize it sounds weird to describe it as having both an electrical circuit and fish scales theme, but I think it turned out pretty cool anyway) and struggled before someone suggested folding the tape over on itself before cutting the rounded edges. Do you know what I mean? It's a little complicated to explain, but if you've ever tried cutting elaborate patterns in duct tape, you can appreciate this method. Since the you eliminate the sticky sides by folding them together, cutting is much easier. The scissors don't get stuck. It was definitely a time-consuming project, but probably worth it- look at it! What do you think?
