I wore supermarket bed sheets as a wedding dress – people thought it would look weird, it looked brilliant
A BRIDE struggling to find her dream wedding dress made her own from some supermarket bed sheets.
A video was shared on Instagram showing the white, floral gown made from Target king size sheets.
The wedding dress actually looked sensational, with puffed sleeves and a huge A-line skirt.
Dressmaker Sarah, who posts under @sarahkolisdesigns, explained how she made the dress in the caption.
She wrote: “This gown used almost 2 king size bedsheet sets (which was actually less than I thought!)
“It really worked out quite well. I’ll never look at my bedsheets the same.
“Could you tell?!!! Or…do you own these bedsheets and you already knew?!!”
Sarah showed how she picked up the sheets from the American retailer for the job.
She added: “Ok so honestly, I had a REALLY hard time finding a good light blue/white toile or chinoiserie that I liked.
“Of the ones I could find, they were either too modern or too navy coloured.”
She added: “When couture meets home decor. You never know when inspiration might hit you.”
Many people were impressed by her bedsheet dress, with one saying: “I’m the only one who first thought was ‘oh it’s very Dior.’”
Another added: “Love it! This reminds me of the Sound of Music – when Maria makes clothes for the children from the curtains!”
And a third commented: “Fabric is fabric and that dress is literally a dream its so pretty.”
However, not everyone was convinced.
One wrote: “It still just looks like a bedsheet.”
