Recycled Plastic Bag Dresses

We posted about Cathy Kasdan’s plastic bag dresses earlier last year here and they were featured in CRAFT: 04. Cathy sent a note to Threadbanger about her recycled plastic shopping bags dresses and we had to share the love again for these beautiful pieces. You can see all the photos in her Flickr set. She didn’t purchase any materials to make the dresses, rather collecting bags at trips to the grocery store and bag donations from friends. She knitted, woven and melted plastic to make fabric as a part of her thesis project for her Masters in textiles. Link.
