Holy crap. Some of these are actually beautiful. Others...well...not so much.

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.
