Hair Extension Wedding Dress Valued at $79,000

I ’do! Brides wanting to add a little "something outrageous" to their "something old, something new" need look no further than Thelma Madine's wedding dress made from colored hair extensions. Famed for her over-the-top bridal creations as seen on Britain's My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, the Liverpool-based designer teamed up with Voodou salon on the hairy gown, which has been valued at £50,000 (about $79,000 U.S.), Metro reports. Boasting 1,500 crystals, 12 underskirts, and 273 yards of red, plum, fuchsia, and blonde hair extensions along with individual hair wefts, the bustier-style gown made its début at the Alternative Miss Liverpool Pageant. Madine now has big plans for the tress dress, which is said to weigh a whopping 209 pounds. "I’d be overwhelmed if someone like Lady Gaga would consider wearing it," Madine tells the newspaper. "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!" Provided, of course, that Gaga has a forklift to get her on stage.
