Trashion dress from men´s ties

[OutsaPop]

I made this dress using A LOT of secondhand ties, a corset and a little back dress. I made it for a local fashion show last February.

[ladyjanewriter]

Yay, OutsaPop! We're not worthy! We're not worthy! [insert bowing down emoticon here]

Yes, yes, you should TOTALLY do a tute and submit one. I flove the tie dress and have admired it on flickr for a while now.

[miss.green.tea]

that's just genious!!! kudos kudos kudos to youuuu!!!

you should definitely post a tut. maybe not for the WHOLE dress, but just how you made the ties frilly and how/where you sewed them together etc.

is it lined underneath the ties or is it just one layer?

[Dan3099]

Yea that dress looks really wicked. When I saw the heading "trashion" I definately wasn't expecting something as stunning as that!

[naturals_not_in_it]

My god that's amazing. No but REALLY amazing. So creative, deffinately a more original take on the tie skirt.

[ryanmoore]

I bow in your direction.

[nicolecpm]

WOW...you have some serious talent! I viewed alot of your work on browse and I am speechless!!

[anneland22]

Upon viewing your glorius creation, I suddenly am overwhelmed with sadness that I sold all those halved ties in a garage sale. :(

[OutsaPop]

Thank you so much for all you comments :) I´m blushing here. I´ll try to get you more pics soon of the making-of steps and close ups. I bought about 100 ties for this project (I wanted to e able to choose the perfect color sceme) and used about 60. I have the rest in storage for later projects.

Meanwhile check out my denim tutorials on Flickr.

That is incredible! Beautifully done. I love it.

[plumsong]

great ruffling!
I love how you used the ties.

[pomegranitestars]

That is so orginal! Not what i expected at all.

[nightowlbunny]

WOW. absolutely gorgeous!. i wanna learn how to make one!

[Yelirp]

WOW! You truly are a master! I make stuff out of ties too. Of course I'm only 13 and I havn't been sewing as long, but I'm doing a fashion show in school and I'm making a hippie-ish top/dress. I've got about 3 huge bags of the fat part of the tie. Could I somewhat copy you idea with some parts? Not completely but a tiny bit that I'd most likely change up a bit. By the way, you are a god! No, better A GODESS! Sorry

[jaleenasmom]

Amazing! I love all of the things I see.

[Babella]

amazing!

[retrohead01]

Truly outstanding work there!

[blood_red_rain]

Wow...I'm at a lose of words other than....wow.

[heynightmare]

[heyhogwarts]

*GASP*

YOU'RE the one who posted that tutorial on Burdastyle about the tie technique!! I remember seeing that dress and it just inspired me to do something similar for my final project in my Costume Tech class!!!

[cupetycake]

wow thats really creative! :D

[madmilliner]

Oh, my...I love this. The subtlety of the color palette, the silhouette. Love it!

[Addie_Marie]

I am so impressed!! I don't know how I didn't see this before. Such incredible, awe-inspiring work.

[heleneea]

if u didnt include the pics w/ all the ties i never would have believed that the dress was recycled ties! that is absolutely amazing. especially since we have way too many ties in this world. great job =]

[flips4fun]

this is amazing!!!

[gothictany]

Oh yes! This thread is an oldie but goodie!
Great thing you editing the pics Addie!

I love ruffles. I just do!;)
