How I did it: I bought about... 5 or 6 rolls of duct tape and some fabric. I took an old shirt, cut the neckline and started taping over it. Then I took the fabric and taped it into a skirt shape and taped it to the top. I covered it all in duct tape and then drew the roses on with sharpie. I then decided it was too plain so I made roses out of the black duct tape and taped them onto the bottom of the dress.

Lessons & tips: -Go slowly and make sure to make your lines of duct tape even so it doesn't look messy.
-Get a friend to help, it's much easier when you've got a friend to help you with things like pinning and getting the fit just right
-It does get rather uncomfortable and warm to wear so make sure it fits well and that you bring extra duct tape wherever you wear it just in case!
