Kara Koskowich cut, sewed, glued, and eventually tailored a one-shouldered dress out of 75 pieces of algebra formulas.

She told CBC News: “For me, [prom] is not a big, spend your money, you have to look this nice, you have to fit into this mould of grad.”

The student began making her dress in March, but said she didn’t finish it until the night before prom.

“I did most of it the last week because I’m that kind of person. I procrastinate,” she said.

Kara Koskowich’s date was her friend , who was wearing a dress she made out of plastic bags.

According to Dorothy Graham, the dresses made the pair the most popular people at prom.

Dorothy Graham explained: “It was actually funny because everyone was wearing these elegant dresses, and we’re in dresses that cost nothing, and we were the most popular people there.”
