Behold: a Gummy Bear Gown Inspired by Alexander McQueen

Sweets addicts, rejoice! This morning, we're bring you a little fashion for your breakfast, and you can eat it, too. Why? Because this stunning rainbow-bright confection is made entirely out gummy bears. 50,000 (!) of them to be exact.

For its debut issue, TWELV Magazine created this handmade deliciousness paying homage to late fashion genius Alexander McQueen. To create the gown, creative director Hissa Igarashi and his team twisted steel wire into the shape of the dress and covered it with a vinyl coating. Then one-by-one, the crew intricately glued each yummy gummy onto the frame by hand.

The entire gown took a painstaking three weeks to complete and weighs in at a whopping 220 lbs, taking three people just to move it—Yeesh! IDK about you guys, but I’d definitely need the workout of walking around in that thing, because I know I'd be plucking treats off it all day long.

Here's one last breathtaking (er, stomach-grumbling?) look at this sweet feast of a dress.

All together now... Mmmm!

For reals though, how stunning is this gown, you guys?! Are you eating it up as much as we are? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
