I DID wear one. In 1968. I mailed my $1.50 in to Parkay Margerine to get my silver, aluminum paper dress. I cut about an inch off the bottom.
Didn’t have the hutzpah to wear it in public but wore it for my boyfriend. After reviewing the 60s recently, realized I looked like Peggy Moffitt at the time I purchased this number. Goooood Times! I happen to live near the Scott Paper Co. I’m gonna give them a call. Lets bring back the paper dress!!
I may try and make one of these out of a shower curtain. Hows that for recycling!

Love linen and crushed velvet too! They're so sensuous fabrics! Welcome back, vous nous avez manque(e)... You know what I saw perfectly fit for paper outfits? Marimekko for H&M! Imagine they made bikini from paper in the 60s! I wonder how they did it!

I would wear one!
It would make me laugh and I could pretend to be a Paperdoll!
I used to love to play with those when I was little!
But no outdoor events… it may rain!

Yes I would wear a paper dress especially the paper bag one in the main picture.I love crumpled linen and crushed velvet anyway.Galliano has been doing newspaper prints on his fabrics for sometime.
That Warhol/Cambpells Soup dress is to dye for!Love it!
