The paper dress was invented in the 60's, and became quite fashionable. They were cheap and disposable - truly the fashion of the future. Well, at least until they realized that flammability was an issue. At the time the solution was to use flame-resistant materials. I assume this was too costly or toxic, as they quickly died off.
I propose we work in the other direction. Make them more flammable. In fact, make them so flammable that the heat put out by the time the entire thing has burned is very low - hopefully making them not very dangerous.
Issues:
Practical jokes. Not sure how to get around this one, except perhaps have it leave a coherent ash.
Flammability of hair. If the thing doesn't burn fast enough, your hair might. If the material has a low enough energy content, this may not be a problem.
