Amber Scholl has become an internet phenomenon thanks to her creative and inspiring DIY fashion videos, paired with an upbeat, infectious personality. This particular video was prompted by a comment that Amber says she gets all the time: “Amber could wear a trash bag and still look bomb.”
And so she set out to prove it. 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.

I'd be a rich man if I had a dollar every time someone is described as a YouTube star.

Adding to the negative comments (sorry) but she wasn't even being called trashy? The comment was literally praising how pretty she is O.o

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.

I don't think that that dress would be allowed in a prom... (the title says it is a prom dress)

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).
