Isn't it lovely? Believe it or not, this dress is made of hanji or traditional korean paper that can last for thousand years. It was one of korean designers named Han Song who designed this extraordinary dress. If you see it at glance, you won't realize that it's made of paper. 

Hanji, which was first used to make a book or canvas, has started to be used not only in fashion, but also interior decoration and even toys. Hanji, which is from the Mulberry trees, can be used as basic materials or covers.
