Lady Gaga’s meat dress required 50 pounds of meat to make it, but it ended up weighing closer to 40 pounds since all the meat wasn’t used. I’m sure the chunks of meat wrapped around her feet for shoes weighed quite a bit too. Maybe that is where the extra meat went, along with the chunk used for her brooch-laden purse.

Strong string was used to keep the meat in place and it took more than one person to do the sewing. A form was used to sew the meat into a dress shape, in order for it to fit properly on Lady Gaga later on.

Meat is a cold substance anyways, so it’s understandable how this much meat would remain cold even when it’s worn next to the skin. The corset kept most of the meat off of Lady Gaga’s torso, but the rest of the dress came into contact with her neck, legs, and parts of her back. With no preservatives being added to the meat, it’s probably a good thing that the dress didn’t heat up a bit!

If the meat was fake, I might be able to wear a dress created from it, but the real stuff sort of freaks me out. A butcher in LA supplied the meat for this dress. I wonder if he had to slice each piece a specific thickness or if he simply sliced up random types of meat. There was a lot more information available besides these 7 facts on Lady Gaga’s meat dress. Thankfully the dress wasn’t so moist that it left a trail of blood as Lady Gaga walked across the stage. Despite comments about there being maggots present on this unique dress, the outfit created a sort of awe in people at the awards ceremony. Would you ever wear a dress made of meat?
