Good heavens, talk about your past coming back to haunt you - I actually looked like I do in the picture when I did this workshop!
Paper dresses aren't that hard to find anymore - there was a bit of a buying curve when eBay was young, and the prices soared as they came onto the market, but they have settled back down now. The only ones that have remained very desireable and a little more expensive are the Pop Art ones, like the Campbell's Souper dress, that people frame as art.
Marian - I now have a few examples of disposable underwear in the collection, including some that were sold on board the Queen Elizabeth when you ran out of undies!
Salvato - To be completely accurate they should be called non-wovens, not paper, as not all of them were made of wood pulp paper. The true paper ones have a lot of fire-retardant chemicals so they are a bit stiff when new, however, they are paper-towel like in appearance - like the type of paper towelling you get in public washrooms to dry your hands that come off a roll - not exactly soft, but not stiff either. The other type are pressed fibres, but they are made of rayon or polyester and although lighter than paper, and even stronger, they also tend to be more translucent. I don't consider these ones to be true paper dresses because they also came late in the paper dress fad.
