New/old stockHow many people are familiar with the paper dress fad of the mid-1960s? They were actually made of a cellulose fabric known as DuraWeave. Cellulose is a type of wood pulp, that is also [fun fact] in shredded cheese! But I digress…

Paper dresses turned out to be a HUGE craze – what would be considered viral today. If you want more information, just google ‘paper dresses’, as my purpose here is to sell you a paper dress, not give a history lesson.

This little dress has tied spaghetti straps that are sort of like a seam binding material. Honestly, I don’t know if it is wearable, but it would be a conversation starter!
