Molly Sims' Cranberry Dress

Molly Sims' Cranberry Dress

This is SO WILD. Molly Sims debuted a one-of-a-kind dress featuring thousands of real cranberries during LA Fashion Week created by top designer Kevan Hall and inspired by Dial’s AntiOxidant Cranberry Body Wash.

A little bit about the dress…
· The dress has over 2,000 real cranberries from neckline to hem

· Six food stylists worked for 96 hours to prepare the cranberries for use

· Starting with raw, barely ripe cranberries (to ensure they retained their bright color and to avoid wrinkling), the food stylists hand-pierced each cranberry with a needle to release its moisture. Using a commercial-grade dehydrator, they then dried the berries at a temperature of 100ºF for 15 hours

· A team of 15 people worked on the dress from design through completion, including a pattern maker, cutter, beader, dress maker and the designer himself

· On the finished dress, the cranberries resemble beads more than actual cranberries

It's up for auction and all proceeds benefit The Children’s Institute, an organization enabling children to maximize their learning potential and to effectively utilize social skills in a positive manner. Click here to check it out.
