The $1.5 million Wedding Dress Made Up Of 2009 Peacock Feathers
NANJING, China, April 13 (UPI) — A Chinese wedding dress factory said eight workers spent 40 days creating a $1.5 million dress from 2,009 peacock feathers.
The factory in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, said the dress also includes a bodice featuring brocade and Suzhou embroidery, the Daily Mail reported Monday.
Male peacocks each shed an average 200 feathers during an average year, meaning the makers of the dress would have needed to collect dropped feathers from more than 10 birds for a year to gather enough for the gown, the British newspaper said.

Obviously kombizz didn’t read it, or else he’s really a dumbass for saying that. Anyways, good read.
call me nuts but I prefer the feathers on the peacock than this dress .. what happened with the traditional wedding dress? besides, peacock feathers come only from male peacocks not from hen this is just not right for a woman dress!
it is a wonderful wedding dress collection
i love it
I wonder how many poor peacocks were used (or killed) for this dress?
Do you know?
