Last week we saw a wedding dress made of toilet roll and this week we’ve come across a wedding dress made of condoms.
That’s right someone in Shoalhaven in Australia has made a dress, with a fitted bodice and train, made of the contraceptive.
But it’s not for a bride on her special day. It’s actually to raise awareness about protecting against the sexually-transmitted disease Chlamydia after a rise in diagnoses in the area.
