A bride-to-be wants her wedding dress to feature her dead mother’s hair

A bride-to-be is looking for a designer who can — and is willing to — make a wedding dress using her dead mother’s hair.

The anonymous woman posted the unusual request on fashion manufacturing website Sewport and revealed in the advertisement that she started collecting her mom’s hair four years prior to her death in August.

The 61-year-old noted that she is prepared to pay about $19,000 for a replica of her late mother’s wedding gown.

“I’m looking for someone to recreate my mother’s wedding dress from 1953, which she wore when she married my father. My mother passed away recently and I’d like to create a special memento of her life,” wrote the UK-based bride.

Alongside the post, the woman included sketches of the dress she would like for her big day and the ballroom-style gown features her mother’s hair sewn into the sleeves and hem.

Although it’s an uncommon sartorial request in 2018, it was common practice for Victorian mourners to wear jewelry containing a lock of hair from a dead relative.

So far, no dressmaker has volunteered for the role.

The woman later revealed that her request is “quite weird.” However, she still hopes to have the completed garment in time for the anniversary of her mum’s death next August.
