The basic dress is made out of thick cotton and layered with [pieces of meat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-marbles-meaty-meat) and covered in clear vinyl. To avoid dripping meat juice, there is a strip of clear vinyl on the bottom of the dress. Jia Jam says, “The whole project took about 6 hours, and I kept it refrigerated until the party.” She also said the [costume actually works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auntie-annes-and-cinnabon-costumes) like a magnet to catch a guy. What a ‘meat’ idea for a birthday suit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Edible Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create sustainable fashion from food waste and challenge traditional clothing materials. - **Food-based Art:** Opportunity for artists to showcase unique and unconventional materials that challenge traditional art mediums. - **Novelty Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create attention-grabbing and unconventional clothing items that appeal to niche audiences. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for designers to use unconventional materials and innovate sustainable fashion practices. - **Art Industry:** Opportunity for artists to challenge traditional art mediums and techniques by using unconventional materials. - **Event Planning Industry:** Opportunity for event planners to create custom themed events and incorporate unique costume designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable BBQ Bibs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/13-hour-drip-fit.md) - [Two-Person Halloween Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nashville-hot-mozz-costume.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Cheesy Two-Person Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzmates.md) - [Macaroni-Inspired Halloween Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-bold-to-the-bone-costume.md) - [Statement-Making Oatmeal Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porridge-dress.md) - [Edible Meat Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meat-menu.md) - [Sweet-and-Salty Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auntie-annes-and-cinnabon-costumes.md) - [Meat-Themed Brand Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-links-meat-retreat.md)
