Bacon Dress
Bacon Dress
WHAT?:
A dress made entirely of real bacon and salami
WHY?:
When going to an Aqua Teen Hunger Force (ATHF) birthday party, Jia Jem rightly concluded that the only appropriate costume to wear was one made entirely of real bacon and salami!
HOW?:
A basic shift dress out of thick cotton. Layed the meat on top, then put clear vinyl over it and sewed tracks with clear thread. She used a wide stitch length to avoid perforating the meat to the point it might just… uh, slide down the bottom of the dress. She then blotted it all before sewing to get rid of as much grease as possible to avoid clouding the vinyl. Lastly, she made sure to bind the bottom of the dress with a strip of clear vinyl to catch drips. The whole project took about 6 hours, and she kept it refrigerated until the party.
