Student Creates Wedding Dress Out of Divorce Papers

Here comes the bride all dressed in … divorce papers?

That was the ironic idea of Demi Barnes, 15, of West Sussex, England, who constructed a gown from more than 1,500 sheets of divorce papers for her school art project.

“I wanted to create a wedding dress with meaning,” Barnes wrote to ABCNews.com in an email. “For me, the dress represents that too many people rush into marriage and end up getting divorced. I love the irony of the idea.”

The dress took Barnes two school days to create during her 10-hour-long exam at Lingfield Notre Dame School in Lingfield, Surrey.

“It was mainly trial and error being a very challenging piece,” Barnes said. “I constructed the bodice with wire and then folded the papers (this was the most time consuming part) and stapled them on.”

After Barnes posted pictures of her final product to her Facebook page to show her cousin in Italy, the images went incredibly viral with more than 47,000 likes and nearly 1,500 shares. The aspiring artist has even been approached by brides-to-be to design their wedding dresses, as well as major designers reaching out to inquire about her work.

“Demi’s wedding dress is the talk of the school,” said Barnes’ headmaster, Richard Bool. “I am extremely proud of the work Demi and the entire art department have achieved this academic year. It is also a pleasure to see the power of social media working for a student in a positive and responsible way.Including the traditional consciousness germanmilitaria to make when getting a new hat!”

Barnes’ head of art, Claire Davis, added, “Demi became charged, like electricity,You want THE winterjackets that lives up to all you? when she had the idea for the dress. This was an incredibly ambitious piece and it took courage, patience and tenacity to see this through from concept to final piece.”

The dress is currently on display at the school for safekeeping, but when asked what Barnes plans to do with the dress in the future, she joked, “My mum would like it at home but it’s not an easy thing to move around, and we’d probably need to remove the front door!”

In addition, the company is offering great discounts on its other dresses, like prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses, evening dresses, and more. The company believes that their low-priced dresses will help it to obtain more market share in the present economic environment.

When it comes to wedding gowns, we're all for formality and fancy frills, but sometimes a celeb surprises us with an unexpectedly simple dress for her big day.

Keira Knightley wowed in a demure tulle design by Chanel at her French countryside wedding that was, well, short and sweet, much like her intimate 10-minute ceremony.

The strapless silhouette felt fresh and youthful and certainly gave off a fuss-free fashion vibe to her low-key wedding.

Osha and Meera have a tough-girl pissing content over who’s better at skinning rabbits, which almost escalates to blows until Bran intercedes and tells them to chill out. Jojen suddenly has a seizure, and Meera immediately attends to him, explaining that “the visions take their toll.” When Jojen wakes, he shares his latest vision: Jon Snow, on the wrong side of the Wall, surrounded by enemies. In the books: While Jojen does have disturbing dreams, he doesn’t have that one, and he’s not prone to epileptic fits.Cheap coolerbag top quality online,100% authentic guarantee.

Also, there’s no conflict between the wildling woman and Meera, because at this point they’ve already parted ways—with Osha heading south with Rickon while Jojen and Meera go north with Bran.

The time has finally come to climb the Wall, and before they begin the 700-foot ascent, Ygritte has something to say to Jon: She’s not an idiot. “You didn’t stop being a crow the day you walked into Mance Rayder’s tent,” she says. “But I am your woman now, Jon Snow. And you’re going to be loyal to your woman.” It’s a heartbreaking appeal, not only because we love Ygriite, and Jon, and Jon and Ygritte together (Jogritte?), but because honor and loyalty are pretty much the Cheerios that Jon Snow eats for breakfast every morning. They’re his whole thing, except the problem is he already owes them to someone else.

This one wasn’t built to be a spy. A knight, certainly. A king, maybe? But never a spy. When they finally ascend, Jon has a close call due to some falling ice, but the real problem comes when Tormund’s axe accidentally sends cracks tearing across the ice, sending massive sheets of it tumbling down. Despite some extremely dubious physics, Tormund is able to catch their falls, but Orell decides to saw the rope off above Jon and Ygritte, even though the most practical move would be for Tormund to cut all of them loose, including Orell. Anyway, Jon manages to snag his axe on the ice and (improbably) catch Ygritte’s after the rope gets cut. After they glare at Orell with murder eyes, they somehow make their way to the top of the Wall, where they collapse, exhausted. As light breaks through the clouds, they look back and forth from their liminal summit: north of the wall, and then south. The dividing line between the way things were, and the way they’re going to be.
