But can ocean trash be made into drysuits?

What to do with plastic trash? Clearly, make it into formalwear.

This ballgown was made by sewing together 12″ squares of the clear blue plastic backing from Plexiglass. The corset was made with mustard packets.

Personally, I fear that mustard packets won’t give enough support. I want my recycled corset to be made out of nuclear warheads. Or at least recycled guns with full  functionality.
