Ecovative Design supplied a $40 pack of agrarian waste vaccinated with mushroom spores, from which Smith developed slight sheets of mycelium, the flimsy filaments that hold mushrooms together.
Next, she wrapped the sheets around a custom dress structure, where they kept developing to weave up the creases of the mushroom-white piece of clothing.
The completed item was 1/8 of an inch thick, and inflexible like cardboard, since the Ecovative blend is intended for developing bundling.
Smith wanted to wear her firm dress down the passageway, to the frustration of her mom. "She feigned exacerbation," Smith reviewed. "Anyway it wasn't so far out of the domain of the sorts of things I do. She wasn't appallingly astounded."

Yet, to her mother's help, the dress wasn't prepared in time for the wedding; Smith got hitched in a thrift store outfit.
Still, the idea of a develop your-own particular dress engages Smith.
"I like the picture that perhaps you change into something else for moving, and you could actually destroy the dress and place it in your arrangement, and it would truly continue developing with you," she said. "There's something sort of ravishing about that."
Presently filling in as an independent architect, Smith says she wants to add to a more slender and more adaptable mycelium item that is more qualified for developing attire.
