We’ve all heard of toilet paper wedding dresses, but what about dresses made of trash?
My 7-year-old niece Anya turned trash into fashion for a recent school project—a perfect assignment for a self-proclaimed fashion hound who changes her clothes 4 times a day! Starting with some netting and a bow from her mother’s old wedding dress, Anya took this outfit to the next level by making plastic grocery bag flowers for the bodice, hem and crown. The petite designer also gave a nod to the colorful wedding gown trend, adding a brightly painted elastic belt and finishing off the look with a crushed soda can-top belt buckle.
What are you going to do with your wedding dress when the day is done? Mine is still just hanging in my closet. Hmmm, I wonder if plastic bags would bring it back in style?

That dress turned out much better than what I expected after I read the title. May I say that you have a beautiful daughter? I am not married yet, but some of my friends have found services which rent wedding dresses and they receive money each time their dress is rented. Not that romantic, but great for their pockets.

Great title - Trashy Chic. Who knew? I think your niece is real creative and very fashion-forward. Not to mention eco-friendly.
