(Reuters) – Warning! If you plan to get close to any sharp objects, don't wear this dress. Japanese artist Rie Hosokai expands her design horizon using inflated balloons. The result? A light, transparent, mini-dress that's bound to cause a stir, says Hosokai.

"You can wow people at parties or weddings with a balloon dress. They will be surprised."

And the dresses also provide an inflated profit for the former florist. Balloons cost 10 U.S. cents each and the completed designs sell for between around $2,000 and $4,000. Despite its obvious party appeal, this is one dress you can't drift in for too long - the balloons deflate after 24 hours. So, plan to go out with a bang, rather than a deflated whimper.
