We’ve encountered accessories made from living plants before, but an entire dress? That takes a special brand of…oh, dedication.

Schailon tapped into her childhood princess fantasies, which she recalls with vivid detail, involving “hedges of hawthorn adorned with jewels” and “caressing the grass under the hot sun.” “It would be nice to bring nature to onself, not only in your heart,” Schailon says. “So you can close your eyes and imagine for a moment being in an enchanted place.”

Ballsy fashion statement or portable small-space garden? We’ll leave that up to you, dear reader, to decide.
