So, the COVID-themed duct tape prom dress features a number of details that reference all the things that happened during the lockdown. This includes imagery of zoom classes and online graduations, people in masks and those sneezing, people running away from the coronavirus, a call to flatten the curve, and also an image honoring essential and front-line workers.
Besides the predominantly blue and gold gown, Peyton also crafted a duct tape mask, a coronavirus shaped purse, and a number of smaller accessories like a hair clip and a wristband, all adorned with viral imagery.
Turns out, the dress took her nearly 400 hours to make, using up 41 rolls of duct tape. This translates to 16.6 straight days of designing and crafting and roughly 820 yards (or 750 meters) of duct tape. We’ve estimated the cost of the dress (duct tape-wise) varied between $150 and $245, depending on where you buy.
