The Bic Cristal dress




Annette Carey is a designer, that has been commissioned by Bic Cristal to create a special dress to celebrate their 60th anniversary.
The dress is a bit on the heavier side at 8lbs because of the 1,200 pens and almost 2,000 crystals that have been used artistically to embellish the exceptional creation. The process of making the unusual dress was not only tough but time consuming. They worked up to 13 hours a day to get the dress ready. Sewing all the Bic pens perfectly on the dress took 640 hours.
The dress that cost £10,000 has been put up for display at the Inkspiration: Story of BIC Cristal exhibition at the Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising, West London, for one month from April 1.
