Duct Tape Prom Outfits

Kickass duct tape prom fashions!

Top ten reasons why you should wear duct tape to the prom
by the Duct Tape Guys, authors of The Duct Tape Book(s)

10. Cheaper than renting a tux or gown.
9. Resistant to punch spills.
8. Prom decorations start falling down? Just peel off part of your outfit and repair 'em on the spot.
7. The gals' dads LOVE those hard-to-remove duct tape gowns.
6. As you grow, you don't have to buy a new gown or tux, you just add more duct tape.
5. With duct tape hosiery, there's no need to shave your legs for weeks after the prom.
4. The sauna-like nature of duct tape apparel allows you to loose up to 20 pounds in one night.
3. Blame your lack of dancing skills on the stiffness of your duct tape tux.
2. Rip your outfit? Get out your roll and patch it!
1. Couples wearing duct tape tend to "stick together".

Nah, that ain’t enough... Let's go for a few more (from the Duck® people):
-1: No more pins in the chest. Tape-on corsages are all the rage!
-2. Duct tape your parents' bedroom door shut and have After Prom at your place.
-3. Duct tape two cars together to make a limo.
-4. Curfew? No problem, duck tape the hands on all your clocks to 10:30 p.m.
-5. Wrap your feet in duck tape so you don't get blisters from dancing all night.
-6. Make duct tape mannequins of you and your date, so the chaperones will think you are there when really you're under the bleachers making out.
-7. Duct tape your date's "wandering hands" to his sides.
-8. Anyone can be prom queen with a duct tape crown.
Could we list more? Sure, there are no limits to duct tape... but we gotta go duct tape something!

Everyone at my high school always talked about doing that, but no one ever did it. $2,500 was always pretty tempting...

Pretty awesome!

I had never even heard of people doing that until I got to WPI.

Man, no wonder I felt like such an outcast in highschool... there weren't enough other geeks around (or, you know, any).

So five years ago....

Is it sad that I hear the words "duct tape" and automatically associate it with a certain member of my high school band? I know it was years ago, but still the whole duct tape stigma has remained.

Not at all... there's one person I think of when I think of duct tape, too. Well, at least when I think of turning duct tape into wearable clothing. ;)

Ow! OW! OWWW! Still remember a bad experience with duct tape at Reality Check IV. But hosiery! (Hurm. And now I'm thinking about a certain demo at the last Flea, too. OW!)

On the other hand, these are amazing outfits. I was wondering this weekend what Ren Faire garb would look like in duct tape.

A friend of mine (goldbug) did attempt to wax her legs with duct tape once. It didn't work... and yes, OW!
