A DRESS made entirely of loom bands has set off a bidding war with offers over $310,215.

Single mum and co-creator Helen Wright, 42, made the dress from 24,000 bands over a 45-hour period with friend Kathryn Burnand, from North Wales.

Modelled by Wright’s daughter, the creation went up on eBay for £50, but the tally just kept climbing.

“I’m still in shock and I can’t believe it. I still won’t believe it until the bidding’s finished and the money is in the bank,” Wright told Wales Online.

“My friend Katherine physically made it because she’s out of work and gets bored ... She did an hour here or there in between her house work to keep her busy.

“It was made as a novelty and we never intended it to be worn,” she said.

The dress, which is listed as ‘New without tags’, is the icing on the cake for this tween trend, which has been adopted by everyone from primary school kids to Miley Cyrus to the Duchess of Cambridge.

For those still in the dark, loom bands are brightly coloured wristbands made of tiny interwoven rubber bands. They’re been around since 2011, after an American dad invented them for his daughters to play with before marketing them to the world.
