The PopCan Tab Dress
The PopCan Tab Dress
(updated with your exact care requirement)
A one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted haute couture mini dress constructed entirely from thousands of upcycled aluminum pop-can tabs linked together using a hypnotic snakeskin-weave pattern and polished stainless-steel rings.
I personally collected, washed, hand-filed, and precision-cut every single tab over hundreds of hours to remove sharp edges and achieve perfect uniformity. The result is a liquid-metal second skin that catches light from every angle, producing an almost holographic shimmer as you move — like wearing molten silver.
Completely backless save for a daring low strap that sits just above the curve of the hips, the dress is designed with three fully adjustable marine-grade stainless-steel chain closures: one at the neck (halter style), one across the mid-back/bust, and one at the natural waist. These allow the fit to be customized in seconds for different body types or desired levels of drama, while keeping the silhouette sleek and seamless — no zippers, no bulk, just pure gleaming movement.
Lightweight, flexible, and surprisingly comfortable, the open-weave construction reveals tantalizing flashes of skin and keeps the piece breathable even under stage lights.
This is sustainable couture at its most audacious: zero waste, 100% recycled materials, and unmistakable runway presence. Made for the stage, the red carpet, the editorial shoot, or the collector who believes true luxury should always have a story.
• Handmade by me in Canada
• One of one — will never be duplicated
• Size: currently fits a true Small–Medium (the model shown is wearing it at her natural Small–Medium measurements; the triple-chain system gives roughly 4–6 inches of extra play in bust, waist, and hips)
Custom commissions of this exact look are available to your personal measurements — once purchased I will email you to talk measurements
• Materials: upcycled aluminum pop-can tabs, marine-grade stainless-steel rings and chain
Care Instructions
• Spot clean only with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; gently dab — never rub, scrub, twist, or submerge.
• Do not machine wash, hand-wash, or fully immerse in water.
• Air dry immediately if any moisture contacts the dress.
• The aluminum tabs are pre-treated and won’t corrode, but avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine, saltwater, or heavy perspiration without immediate spot-cleaning.
• Store hanging or laid flat — avoid folding for long periods to keep the weave perfect.
• Loves to be worn; the more you move, the more it shines.
The PopCan Tab Dress isn’t just clothing. It’s wearable sculpture, a love letter to circular fashion, and a glittering middle finger to fast fashion — all in one unforgettable piece.
