Who wouldn't want a dress made out of chocolate?  Boston chocolatier Jorg Amsler collaborated with Heatherette designers Richie Rich and Traver Rains to create this gorgeous - and edible- dress. 

At first, Rich and Rains (who design for Paris Hilton, Pink, Justin Timberlake) sketched a full length-gown called "Chocolate Holiday." The dress included chocolate Christmas trees, Easter eggs, gingerbread men, snowmen, turkeys, shamrocks and anything related to a holiday.

What the two didn't realize but what Amsler figured out was that to create a full-length gown, it would probably weigh more than the model and be too hard to move gracefully down the runway. So in the end, they compromised and created a shorter version.

Amsler had to create 300 (!) pieces of chocolate to decorate the dress.  All the pieces were made in white chocolate and then airbrushed with food coloring. 30 hours later and voila! The dress was ready to make its debut at last week's Chocolate Fashion Show in New York.

In her hand, the model carried a pink purse and cell phone - both made out of chocolate.

PS - For you America's Next Top Model fans, the model is Nenna from last season.
