A wedding dress made from bread tags

Wedding dress fashion is getting out of its box these days. Instead of white, brides can now buy dresses in an assortment of colors with designs unique to their personality. This idea of uniqueness is important. Brides want their dress to be completely their own and not see it in someone else's wedding pictures down the line.

Australian bride Stephanie Watson took this idea to a whole new level. In January 2013, she walked down the aisle in a dress made completely from the tags at the end of every loaf of bread. To construct her entire dress, it took 10,000 of these little things.

                 

The idea first started when she met her husband. They started collecting the bread tags and decided they would get married when they had enough tags to make a wedding dress. This goal took 10 years, but would have taken longer if friends and family had not donated all the tags they saved.

Watson had studied fashion design, but mainly decided to make her wedding dress this way because she liked the idea of a design challenge.

It took a year to make the dress and only cost $38! However, Watson said the dress was heavy, difficult to move in and made noise.

She made a blog about making the dress. Take a look to get more of the technical side and see how much work an idea like this would really take! 

Design challenges like these are becoming more popular. While I haven't seen an idea as unique as this before, I have seen many intricate and awesome designs made out of duct tape. The Stuck at Prom Duck Brand Duct Tape Contest even gets winners college scholarships!
