At first a person might think that the Paint Dress by Olivia Mears, a student at Western Carolina University, simply sports a splattered pattern of paint. In reality, it is made out of paint. Considering that it is designed by the same woman who created the Taco Bell Wrapper Dress, this should come as no surprise.
Made out of an acrylic and latex paint mix, the artist writes, "An experiment in using more unconventional materials in costuming; I was asked to paint a dress, so I did." For those who wish to see more creations like the Paint Dress by Olivia Mears, they can support her efforts on Go Fund Me. She is currently raising funds for a fashion show.
