The latest in dresses from one Japanese designer Rie Hosokai is feather-light, see-through and comes with an unusual warning: watch out for needles, Reuters reports.

It's a dress made from balloons. All the work is done by hand, and Hosokai said it can be hard to account for the amount of air when adjusting the size and volume of the dress.

Most of Hosokai's dresses carry price tags ranging from 150,000 to 300,000 yen, but she sold one set of balloon dress, headpiece and bouquet for 1 million yen.

Each dress lasts only 24 hours at most before it starts to deflate, and some can change color depending on the temperature and humidity. (点击路透社网站查看原文)

日设计师制作气球礼服

       据路透社报道,日本设计师细贝里枝推出最新时装作品,它轻如羽毛且可一眼看穿,不过穿着它得格外小心针扎,因为这条裙子是用充气气球制成,纯手工打造。

       细贝里枝称,制作裙子最难的地方就是计算充气量,因为气球的体积和衣服尺寸很难拿捏。

       多数礼服价格在15万(约人民币12510元)到30万日元(约人民币25020元)不等,一套包括气球礼服、头饰和花束的套装以100万日元(约人民币83426元)售出。

       每件礼服最多可以维持24小时,然后就会渐渐瘪下去,有些衣服还会随温度和湿度变化而变色。
