Will you make a prom dress or tux for me?

Most people who ask this question are doing so in reference to the 'new Tape Prom' contest run by the Manco corporation, manufacturers of 'new' brand tape.  If this is the case, I truly suggest you try to fashion your own duct tape prom outfit for the contest yourself, as it IS a contest for YOUR skills.

If you are wanting one otherwise, probably not (don't give up hope, Keep Reading!).  It takes too much of my time, and there are precise measurements that have to be checked, used, re-checked, re-measured, and so forth.  Then, if it's the wrong size, we have to go through all the trouble of shipping it back, and then making changes, and sending it out again.  I am a perfectionist. 

Good quality tape is what you will need if you are going to do this. You can buy it directly here  from me, it is what I would use!

KEEP READING!

On special occasions I've made them.  For example, the Canadian comedy film 'Duct Tape Forever' produced by the Red Green show, I made a dress because they specifically requested it for their movie. Also, for my appearance on the hit game show "I've Got A Secret" I made a duct tape dress to be shown by a model on the set.  The show aired originally  November 15th 2001 on the Oxygen Network, and the Game-Show Network.

What You Should Know

But Dresses and a Tux, that is going to be a VERY difficult project! I should warn you right now, before I go any further, as to the consequences of what you are planning. Duct tape gets very hot, and dances and school events such as prom are notorious for lack of A/C (believe me, it gets bad!). If you make 100% duct tape outfits, make sure that they breathe, are baggy enough to accommodate airflow, and don't chafe you by being too tight. Second, they will wrinkle quite a bit if not properly done. By the end of the night, depending on your activity moving around, dancing, letting dogs loose in the principal's office while the faculty is occupied (or was that just MY prom?), your outfits may be very wrinkled, folded in odd places, and creased. The heat will also cause this.
