Australian scientists dress women in wine.

Australian scientists dress women in wine. : "Australian researchers are making dresses from fermented fabric, using bacteria to grow slimy dresses from wine and beer."

The bacteria holds the fabric together and the dresses have to be kept wet! This has been an amazing scientific and creative exercise. At this stage it might all seem a bit weird and out there but the truth is, now we have created such a fabric, it may have specific applications. They are looking to better develop the fabric. Wonderful side product and side show from our wine industry. Very inventive.
