We spent yesterday afternoon creating our updated version of the old plastic bin liner dress! Our bag of choice a more spring like mint green. We heat fused the bags to create the lacey effect we like so much and stitched together. Oh to be slimmer and younger than I am, I would love to wear this!
Each little plastic bag became a disc when heat fused so the overall dress has a lovely texture.

Hi,
we love your design and we wondered exactly what the heat fusion process is so we too can get that lacy effect with our plastic.
Many thanks

The plastic is very lightweight and when a heat source is applied it shrinks and overlaps, it makes it really strong. Lets us know what your results are like. Good luck…

I love the look of this dress, I was wonder if you still had it and wondered if it would be possible to use it in a photoshoot sometime over the summer?
Hope to hear back from you soon.
Regards,
John
