The Ultimate Party Girl Dress

Ever on the lookout for those rare or interesting wine related pieces, we stumbled on the wine-lover's or, dare I say, "Wine-Diva's" (her of the blog of same name knows who she is), must-have, feel-good, equivalent of the "little black dress."
Yes, here it is, the "Ultimate Party Girl Dress". Note, it is for perhaps the traditionalist among wine lovers since the corks are cork and not plastic. Note also the absence of screw caps.
I also think Apron Boy has an idea brewing... yes, bespoke waistcoats made of cork for Via Vecchia cellar rats to wear on their all too frequent holidays. You know it's going to happen. Send in your corks now!

Anyway, all credit to Lauren Hoell of Pickerington, Ohio. This photo of her dress was taken in the Ohio Craft Museum , Columbus, where there is currently an exhibition of art from trash called "Transformations East."
If I get enough votes from you lot out there, I may publish photos of the
following;
a) Black and white stripe dress, made from Duct Tape; and
b) black skirt and bodice made from strips of tire inner tubes.
Up to you the voters - no recounts will be entered into.
