This is Kelli Martin's winning design from Episode One - "Let's Start From The Beginning." She bleached and dyed vacuum bags for the skirt, burned coffee filters for the bodice and studded the waistband with paper fasteners. I was especially curious about the hook and eye closures in the back that were made from a spiral-bound notebook.
Here is a close-up of the back. Also note the hand-stitching at the top. Can you guess how much this dress sold for at auction?

Did you guess $1025.00 ???? Wow - congratulations to Kelli.
