Partygoer’s life is saved by £35 skintight dress after cement mixer crash
Metro UK ^ | 12-31-14 | Rob Waugh

A festive partygoer owes her life to the skintight £35 ‘bodycon’ dress she squeezed into before going out, after it stopped her bones piercing her organs in a horrific car accident.

Zoe Turner’s dress acted ‘like a corset’ and stopped bones popping out and causing fatal internal injuries after her taxi was hit by a cement mixer.

Doctors told the 21-year-old that the dress almost certainly saved her life, after Ms Turner and three friends were left badly hurt in the crash.

She said: ‘I couldn’t believe my dress saved my life. That’s the best £35 I’ve ever spent.

‘Although I didn’t come off lightly, the end result could have been a lot worse.

‘The pain and restriction my dress was causing was unbearable – I am lucky to be alive.

Interesting the effect red seems to have on the girls also.

We went to a party last night and my husband noted that many of the girls seemed to be wearing their little sister’s dresses, haha.
