An Australian scientist has designed a dress made from cellulose woven by bacteria in a vat of fermenting wine, saying it could be the future of fashion.One small problem: The so-called "cave woman" dress must be kept wet because the cellulose fibres are not long enough to be flexible and, as it dries, they become brittle and break.
In order to shape the dress, slimy cellulose is scooped off the surface of the fermenting wine and layered around a blow-up doll. It then shrinks, taking the form of the body. The doll is deflated when the dress is in the right shape.
