The video has garnered over 2.9 million views and received numerous comments, with many viewers expressing awe at the creation and praising her work.
Commenter stated, ‘I’m also an engineer who loves fashion, so I really admire this project! Many comments express expectations for something different, but I wish they understood the effort, time, and money required for such a project. Well done, girl!’
Someone commented, ‘You mentioned there’s much you would enhance, but honestly, the only thing I can think of improving is adding more snakes, though I understand it might pose a weight issue. It looks beautiful as it is!’
An Instagram user posted, ‘To those ‘disappointed by this’… are we watching the same video? I’m sorry, but this is amazing. I can’t wait to see everyone else build their robot snake dresses.’
Ernst Response
Ernst responded to people’s opinions, praise, and criticism of her dress, stating, “I definitely had higher expectations for the design! I experimented with air dry clay, foam, fabric, 3D printing, and embroidery to add snakes while keeping the weight down. However, at some point, I decided to finalize this effort, as it was just a project I worked on in the evenings for fun before this account gained popularity and while managing my full-time engineering job. Engineering involves making trade-offs, and I’m satisfied with the choices I made.”
