I thought this was pretty creative. An interesting use for the Lincoln Cent which is getting less and less use in general in day to day commerce. From what this girl wrote, it's very heavy to wear and not very practical -- but still very cool looking

It reminds me a bit of the Penny Car. Another interesting use of the Lincoln cent.

I'd think that if you wore something like that and the sun hit it at the right angle, you might end up similar to roast turkey.
If the cents are all zinc (and I do see some Shield reverses) the dress should weigh around 15 pounds or so.
Add a shawl & some gogo boots and you've got a nice Faraday dress.

Amazing... Dresses, suits, cars, vans... and I have seen floors, tables and 55 gallon drums of cents.... I have not seen an entire house covered yet.. Cheers, RickO
