Couple Wears Duct Tape Outfits to Prom

[Tuesday Afternoon]

A prom dress and tux made from duct tape might help pay for two students' college tuition.

Senior Amber Squires and her prom date Kody Britt wore a matching ensemble made entirely of duct tape to Thursday night's Green Sea Floyd High School prom.

The idea started in her 9th grade art class, when Squires' art teacher Miss Hull mentioned the Stuck at Prom duct tape scholarship contest. The contest awards $5,000 to the best duct tape outfit, factoring in workmanship, originality, accessories and use of color. The school that hosted the prom also gets the same amount. The contest runs from March until June and winners are announced in May.

Three years later when her senior year rolled around, Squires remembered the contest while she was out shopping for prom dresses.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. they look fabulous, too

[Warpy]

12. I'll bet they were inspired by "Project Runway"

a few weeks ago, they did the "Duct Tape Prom Dress" as their "unusual materials couture" episode this year.

While I'm not really nuts about the tan, they did a great job on those outfits and they wouldn't have been out of place on the stage in that particular episode.

Great job, kids!

16. That's what I call

sticktoitivness

18. *quack*

[Warpy]

17. I'm talking design inspiration

While I doubt the kids made those, somebody who watches that show probably did.

Duck tape prom dresses and tuxes is an idea that can go terribly wrong, terribly quickly. These didn't.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. I am wondering why one couldn't take a dress or tux pattern for fabric and go from there ...

[tavernier]

20. They would be more interesting

if they had used Saran Wrap.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. this begs the question -

where did You go to high school

[PufPuf23]

29. The Fugs High.

[talkingmime]

22. Cute!

[OnyxCollie]

23. Aqua, black, tan, and cheetah.

Nice color combination. I'm going to have to use that for my next wallet. Currently, I'm big pimpin' with gold, orange highlights, and a chrome and gold interior.

[obama2terms]
