Ever think about turning your Starburst wrappers into a dress? Yeah, me neither. However, designer Emily Seilhamer did think of this idea and created a perfectly wearable dress made from her family's favorite candy. 

Featuring more than 10,000 Starburst wrappers, this dress was stitched, sewn, and assembled by Seilhamer. No, she did not eat all of that candy by herself. Her family and friends helped her out in that department, carefully collecting all of their unwanted wrappers for Seilhamer.

After four years, Seilhamer's dress has finally been revealed. It is a beautiful rainbow cocktail dress that could be worn to formal events. How cool is that? She even topped off the outfit with a corsage...made from a Starburst package of course.

It is flawlessly sewn together and really is a cute conversation starter. To be honest, we want this dress in our closet right now. I mean look at it. It is absolutely stunning. What impresses us most about it is the patience and dedication Seilhamer used to make this dress. Her four years of effort definitely paid off. This is a dress that would take another four years to replicate, making it truly one of a kind. 

Since revealing the dress on her business' Facebook page, Seilhamer's efforts have been the talk of the internet. For example, our Instagram and Facebook feeds were bombarded with posts about this dress. This has to do wonders for Seilhamer's business, and we could not be happier for her. The dress shows attention to detail and patience, two ideal qualities to have in a designer and seamstress. 

What this boils down to is Seilhamer's impeccable Starburst dress is one of the all time coolest things to happen to the internet and has offered a brief, delightful respite in an otherwise hectic news cycle.
