Karla Torres dedicated 120 hours of her life and used 14 rolls-worth of duct tape to construct a one-of-a-kind prom dress as part of a nationwide contest.
Karla is in the finals of Duck brand’s annual Stuck at Prom contest, which challenges high school students to transform the utility do-it-all tape into lavish and unbelievable fashion pieces as either a prom dress or tuxedo.

Very creative.
That’s amazing
Hope she wins
I clicked this thread expecting a laugh at the usual suspects.
I’m pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful girl with real talent.
Looking at other examples - this is a real deal.Good on them.
2 items not as good as this....

Not quite what I expected, but I had forgotten that Duck tape comes in many colors.
I wonder if she took patterns from some old packet and then duck taped over the back and then cut them out?
Forgot this one. Used to be in the sample album display row on the wall at the music department of the Korvette’s store where I worked.

A bit over the top for a prom dress, but very nice.
At least they didn’t draw a penis on his face.
Finally..real news.
Our daughter did this a couple of years ago, we were amazed at the outfits they made.
Truth be told, I had to look hard for a Sharpie pic that was family-friendly. JimRob runs a clean site.
We see her wearing it but have no real idea of who actually made it.
That’s duct tape?

Looks like the modern young people have come a long way.
