These dresses, made entirely out of [twisted balloons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keff-joons), are an absolute wonder to look at. They were crafted with the same techniques clowns use to make [balloon animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-inflatables), yet these pieces are a lot more elaborate.

Each dress is made of hundreds of balloons tied together to create [incredible gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein) that would be wearable if the model never had to sit or lay down. She probably also couldn’t have a bladder as it’s hard to imagine it would be possible to hike one of these up.

The gallery at **[SecondDose](http://www.secondose.com/twisted-balloons-fashion)**really is worth a visit.
