Taking her viewers through the process step-by-step, from the shops to buy supplies to the actual creation of the dress, Amber manages to shock even herself with just how fabulously it came out. “Honestly I think that this is the best DIY I’ve ever done,” she chuckles to herself whilst sashying in front of the mirror in her trashy creation.

The video has already been viewed almost a million times, and Amber has uploaded it to Twitter, along with the witty caption: “When someone calls you trashy, make a dress out of trash bags and prove them fabulously correct.”

So there you go. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to get a stunning gown, you just need a few trash bags and a lot of creativity! Scroll down below to see how the new “Queen of DIY” put it all together, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Sorry, but the dress wasn’t made out of trash bags at all. It was embellished with trash bags.

The opposite of trashy is classy. That dress isn't classy so I would say she proved them right.

Hmmmm, somehow being called “trashy” has never been a big concern in my life. If you’re being called trashy on such a regular basis, you may have bigger problems. Well that, and people just suck.

Just because it's DIY doesn't mean it's not trashy. Prom used to be a time to get a fancy dressy dress, guys in a suit or tux, the first time we would really dress up like grown-ups. The revealing dresses, usually so sort the cheeks show, and casual dress the boys do is really disappointing. I'm not a prude... FAR from it. But it would be nice to see formal dresses for prom. Every other dance, by all means, wear whatever you want. But Prom should be formal.

eh I disagree. Current high school student and I, among others, could care less about prom. If they want to dress that way, then let them (not the revealing outfits though ... at least not in a school setting).

I really don't care about other people call me trashy. I won't spend so much time and energy to do such a trash bag decorated dress just to tell others they are right. whether they are right or not is none of my business.

This reminds me of the contest a few years back, where HS students created Prom outfits out of duct tape. It was sponsored by Duck Tape (who else?) and the winners won scholarships.

To bad that damage to the environment that was avoided by repurposing unwanted clothes instead if them ending up in landfill has been counteracted by the use BRAND NEW PLASTIC BAGS. Now you've ruined a skirt, a different piece of shapewear and tge environment.

Kudos for her quality work, but No way any daughter of mine would be going to prom in that dress. She's supposed to be going to prom Not going on as the opening act ! "Trashy" is a pun, it's an accurate description.

Seriously if this is the best you can do take up another hobby. All you did with the trash bags was make flowers out of them. I remember doing the same thing in second grade art class when I was six. And the skirt was so see through I would be amazed if was seen as appropriate prom attire. It was so sleazy and see through. If this is what you usually wear then no wonder people called you "trashy".
