When RiRi took to the red carpet of the Met Ball a few years ago wearing designer Guo Pei’s epic yolk-yellow concoction, the internet went mad. But who’s laughing now?

That’s the great thing about Giant Dress. There are no rules. Any old bolt of fabric can be transformed into a new look. If you’re not crafty, the fashion world is more than happy to accommodate. Everlane’s tiered option is super cute. Is it a dress or a waterfall? It’s both! For the staider fashionistas, there’s always Eileen Fisher, in neutral colours and quality fabrics.
