A Dutch designer has come up with the ultimate party dress for those who want to stand out in a crowd.

The DIY 'Colour-in Dress' comes with its own set of permanent textile markers that allow the wearer to customise the dress as they wish. The u00a3250 frock is the brainchild of fashion designer Berber Soepboer and graphic designer Michiel Schuurman, from the Netherlands. The basic black and white knee-length, 1960s-style dress is covered with an intricate pattern of circles and curves. This tiny circular pattern can then be filled in by the wearer to create an endless variety of patterns.



Berber said: "I especially design clothing which can be worn in different ways, so the owner can make choices in how to wear the cloth. Life exists of many choices based on expectations, desire and the available time -- I translate these endless possibilities in my design.

"The concept of the dresses makes it possible that the cloth is partly designed by the person who wears it, which hopefully makes them more valuable to the wearer.

"The result is a reaction to the rapidly changing fashion. The dress will be unique. Everybody can interpret the print the way they like it best. Because the print is so flexible you can make many different designs by colouring it." Michiel, who designed the fabric, added: "It's a huge conversation piece."
