UPCYCLED

Can you really and truly restyle your mom's over the top 80's wedding dress into something stylish, hip and above the curve? Well take a look at these before and after photos! Those sleeves plastered with sequins and  huge butt bow. A group of vendors from Maryland put the above gown through a complete metamorphosis. After discovering this $25 thrift store dress and examining the many yards of still lovely fabric and beads, the task was set to recycle this outdated dress into something modern and elegant that any bride would want! And at the end of the project, a stunning designer original resulted made entirely of recycled and eco-friendly materials.  Bravo to all who combined their talents on this project . . .
