UPcycled Wedding Dress Competition

Fancy trying your hand at UPcycling? As part of our sustainability event Dwell we are holding an UPcycled wedding dress competition. The idea is to take a discarded wedding dress - either rescued from the back of a cupboard or the racks of your local op-shop and transform it into a modern and wearable garment.

Here's a fab example by Cultiver collaborator Cassie:

UPcycled wedding dress by Cassandra's Closet

Cassie has taken one pre-loved wedding dress, dyed and embellished it, added other salvadged materials and transformed it into a stunning and unique formal gown. You might like to attempt something like this or perhaps you could rework an old ruffly dress into a modern 'after 5' piece or use a big old marshmallow dress to create a short line of ladies lingerie. You could cut, dye, remodel - the new garment you create is limited only by your imagination.

All entries will be displayed at Dwell with the winner being included in the runway show in the evening. Fabulous prizes include Cutliver craft supply goody bags, Peppermint mag subscriptions and the chance to have your dress displayed in the front window of Cultiver for a month.

For all the nitty gritty details click here and it should automatically download the competition guidelines and entry form.

We'd love to have you involved
