The on-the-go food retailer has teamed up with Kate Tabor - who has previously designed costumes for the likes of pop megastar Katy Perry - to create two edible dresses in order to help launch their delicious summer menu, which features six dishes under 400 calories.

The dresses were made out of around 5,000 lettuce leaves, 300 onions, 150 peppers, and other ingredients including tomatoes, courgettes, chillies and limes, and took a team of four designers around 200 hours to create.

Designer Kate said of her creations: ''I've created costumes for Katy Perry and the Chemical Brothers to Birdy and Katy B, but I've never designed anything quite like this. Each dress is made up of over 20 individual ingredients from the Greggs salad range, with hundreds more of each making up the designs. This has definitely been my biggest challenge yet.''

Commissioned to celebrate the launch of Greggs' summer menu - which includes items such as the coconut, lime, and chilli chicken salad and the cheese, tomato and basil pasta salad - the idea for the dresses came following new research released by the brand which states that a whopping 61 percent of Brits say they are more health conscious now than they were five years ago.

The survey of 2,000 Brits also found that 54 percent of people regularly try to make healthy food choices, whilst 68 percent admit to rigorously reading the nutritional information provided on food packets.

A spokesperson for Greggs said: ''More and more people are looking for a healthier option for their on-the-go food. We wanted to celebrate our new salads with something fun and a little different that everyone could enjoy - and we can all appreciate a bit of 'salad dressing'!''

The tailor-made designs hit the streets of London on Monday (22.05.17), and caused a stir amongst the passers-by in the capital's fashion hot-spots including Carnaby Street and Regent Street.

Greggs' new summer menu is available now in 1,800 shops nationwide.
