Surely, this dress Kristy Swanson is wearing stemmed from some kind of bet:

Like, I can see two designers -- who perhaps went to FIT or Parsons together -- having a long-standing routine in which one calls the other and challenges her to create a seemingly impossible garment. Like Project Runway, but crazier and without the celebrity judges and product placement. This dress was clearly born when Designer One called Designer Two and said, "bet you can't make an armed-forces themed evening dress with a can-can influence in which you could be rendered invisible should a sand storm kick up, and get someone to wear it." GAME ON, DESIGNER ONE.
