A Liverpool dressmaker who shot to fame through TV's My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding has created a gown made entirely from human hair.Thelma Madine's bizarre creation was made from 250 metres of hair extensions and now has a price tag of more than £50,000.She worked with Voodou hair salon in Liverpool to create the dress, which took eight dress designers more than 300 hours to complete.The brain child behind the hairy dress was Voodou stylist Ryan Edwards.Mr Edwards said: "It's something that we've been thinking about designing for a while as it's just so different."I approached Thelma and her team to see if they would be up for doing it and they loved the idea. It took a team of about eight people just over 12 days to make and as you can see, we used a lot of hair!"Not only does the dress contain 250 metres of hair but tens of thousands of individual hair wefts and different pieces of hair, as well as 1500 crystals and 12 underskirts. It weighs approximately 15 stone.
