Don’t bother with the club soda… The wine is never getting out of this dress. That’s because this dress is made entirely of wine — fermented to create microfibers of cellulose that, when dried, has the consistency of cotton.
The project was developed by a group of scientists at the University of Western Australia, and is officially titled Microb’be’. The drawback of wearing this “fermented fashion,” besides that it looks like you’re wearing your insides on the outside, is that the dress will continue to produce vinegar. Appropriate if your intention was to smell like your dress looks — pickled.
