We’ve already shown you sexy red Valentine’s Day dresses, but if you’re really, really, REALLY into the spirit of Valentine’s, few frocks can compare to these dresses that take hearts’ day to the extreme!

Here are three unconventional Valentine’s Day dresses. Would you dare to wear either of these?

1. Edible Elegance: The Ultimate Chocolate Dress

Don’t just give or receive chocolate — WEAR IT! Be a literally yummy sweetheart in a chocolate dress like the ones from The Chocolate Fashion Show held during Salon du Chocolat.

The chocolate squares-covered dress modeled by French journalist and TV host Erika Moulet is one of our favorites.

2. Guilt-Free Glamour: A Dress Made from Chocolate Biscuit Tins

Or, if you’re watching what you eat, skip the chocolates entirely and go for this dress made from only the tins of chocolate biscuits. It’s all the sweetness (and kookiness) without the guilt!

3. Floral Extravagance: Wearing Flowers With Flair

You can always say it with flowers or, if you’re like Lady Gaga, you can always wear them. Lady Gaga shows us a new way of wearing flowers for Valentine’s Day, one that says you’re blooming! Yes, we know the flowers aren’t on Lady Gaga’s dress.
