Designers have come up with a new set of eye-catching dresses - made entirely from balloons.

Each dress consists of around 300 modelling balloons twisted together and took about ten hours to make. Most of the balloons are 60 inches long and either one or two inches thick.

Balloon artist Katie Laibstain, 23, has sold some of her more elaborate designs for as much as £1,000, even though they are likely to be one-wear only.

That should make any party go with a bang.

does anyone remember that story from Africa a few years ago where the US sent them millions of condoms as part of an anti-HIV campaign, and they made balloon jewelry and hats out of them?


but my question is, what if they start popping??

You weave them into a rubber bikini to preserve your modesty.  :-)
