A company in Harrogate has designed a wedding gown made out of old white curtains. The total cost of the wedding dress was £6.75. The £6.75 dress was designed as an entry for the Yorkshire Brides designer of the year awards, where it narrowly missed winning the eco-recycling category. Of course labour hours werent factored when making the dress. The wedding dress will be auctioned in order to raise money for shelter housing.
