For an Anything But Clothes event, I wanted to create a dress using recycled materials. From a damaged garbage bag, packing paper from a Sephora package and toilet paper, I created a dress that drew a lot of fashion inspiration from the third season of Netflix's series The Crown. I personally love sheath style dresses and loved that the medical gloves I found in my home gave a finishing look.

Using sewing techniques such as pattern making and the use of a hot glue gun to "sew" my piece inside out, I was able to create a really nice fit, neckline and seam. From there I added the toilet paper detail and a simple accordion folded bow. Due to the lack of a zipper my belt had to be glued on prior to going to the event.
