PHOTO: Tissue Paper Wedding Dress

Christine Sappington said she felt like “Edward Scissorhands” while she was making a wedding dress—out of (mostly) recycled tissue paper. The manager of the  in Severna Park created what looks like the real deal in about an hour.

"It's the first time I've ever done a dress," said Sappington, the longtime window display merchandiser.

The dress stands in the shop window as a centerpiece to highlight the fine line of wedding invitations available in the store.

"It's one of the favorite things I've ever done," she said.

The mannequin in the window is wearing ivory tissue, most of which came as packaging with the invitations the store carries.

The creation resembles a "real" wedding dress.

Shop owner Tammi Molavi said passersby stop to gaze at the dress and take photos, too. "It attracts quite a bit of attention," Molavi said.

A lovely handmade bouquet from 2Hands Studios, coordinated to the beige tissue, sits next to the dress.

"It was a collaborative project," Sappington said.
