why on earth would people wear that?????????????????
In my opinion i don’t particularly like loom bands but i can understand everyone else’s view point. But seriously, $300,000 for a loom band dress? They are just small plastic bands that can easily break and will eventually wear and tear. As a piece of art i think it is pretty cool but not as a fashionable piece of clothing. – Stevie xx
