Seamstress Thelma Madine, who rose to fame on Channel 4’s My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, has taken bizarre bridal wear to the next level with a gown made of human hair.
The eccentric creation will retail for no less than £50,000. It was created with 250m of hair extensions, numerous individual hair wefts as well as 1,500 crystals and 12 underskirts.
Eight people from Nico (the bridal store owned by Madine) worked on the 95kg (15st) dress, alongside stylists from hair salon Voodou.
In addition, the unforgettable gown won the Alternative Miss Liverpool pageant on Saturday.
Ms Madine commented on her aspirations for the dress: “I’d be overwhelmed if someone like Lady Gaga would consider wearing it. In fact, we would be more than happy for her to wear it on her next tour. It’s a unique creation, just like her, and I think it would be a hair match made in heaven!”
Nevertheless, while extrovert performers might be tempted to buy the unique garment, most ordinary people might find their wedding day already a little too hairy without the need for such an extravagant creation.
