And I had trouble in costume class designing a dress out of brown paper for a damn doll. Boy, I'm impressed. (I wonder how many had the help of a professional?)

There's a certain level of geekiness inherent in a duct tape prom outfit, so I suspect many couples have at least one partner involved in renfaire or similar re-enactment and/or fantasy groups that require funny clothing as a basis for participation. So professional help may not have been necessary.

The rules also never stated that you couldnt BUY a dress and just cover it.
And with that in mind, a few of the dresses look as if they did just that.

I guess I didn't realize that duct tape s anything other than silver. Well, now that I think about it, I've used blue.

I guess I was pre-picturing something a little more Blade Runner-esque.

Oh, I saw plenty of that too. Some of these young people have a vision I cant quite... fathom.

Reminds me of the Blue Tarp Fashion show! (Unfortunately, I never did see a good set of pictures from that online!)

These look too much like real outfits. I would want a duct tape outfit to say "Duct Tape." I think the designs need to employ electrical cable, torn upolstery and other things usually associated with duct tape. That or two simple strips across the nipples.

Of course, there is always this:

There was a white and lime green couple that instantly reminded me of a dinette set my parents had in the 70's. :eek:

That was awesome. Some of those kids are very creative. I voted for the war memorial one. They seemed to be the only ones that added some extra meaning to the outfit.
