- Costom made wedding dresses in paper.

It's once in a lifetime - and then it's over.

For many women the wedding dress represents the romantic climax of years of speculation, dreams and planning. She steps back into history to create a vision of herself as princess for a day as she is walking down the aisle.

But despite hinting about the transitory nature of all things, including marriage, and the disposable nature of a dress that so much effort has been put into, the respect for the romantic vision is intact.
