Miss World Australia And Her Flower Dress

Flowers are a timeless symbol of beauty and there is hardly any person who does not appreciate their beauty. A dress made out of flowers is a something that is beautiful and surreal at the same time. There have been quite a few head turning appearances of models in the past in a dress made up of flowers and just a few days back, former Miss World Australia, Madeline Cowe stepped out in a dress crafted out of fresh blossoms. The 25 year old, who is one of the top models in Australia, wore this flower dress as a part of her association with antihistamine brand Zyrtec.

The dress

The dress was hand crafted out of the colourful blossoms supplied by a top florist in Australia. If you have taken a look at the photos of the dress, you know how elegant it looked. Here are some facts about the dress.

The dress was made of 1200 numbers of high pollen flowers and weighed around 23 kgs. In fact, to wear it, Madeline had to slide into it from below while four or five people held it up for her.

The dress had a separate structure over which the flowers were placed by hand. Madeline wore a white skirt over which this entire structure was placed.

She made her appearance in this dress made up of flowers at the Rosehill racecourse at Sydney, along with her boyfriend Charlie Dixon, who is an AFL superstar.

The dress was beautifully designed with the best stock from the fresh flower suppliers in Australia. It had a white base with shades of green and touches of yellow, orange and violet spread through the body.

The Cause

The flowers in this flower dress were all high pollen one and the significant fact is that Madeline herself suffers from hay fever. Since she grew up on a farm, this allergy has been her problem since her childhood and exposure to pollen and dust triggers this problem for her. Hayfever affects a large percentage of the Australian population and this dress made up of flowers was a part of the campaign from Zyrtec, to make people aware of the long term solutions for this campaign. In fact Madeline made sure that she took Zyrtec when she wore this dress out. Not only are some of the best flowers for dress are high pollen ones, so are a wide variety of others in the outdoors. So during the season the symptoms affect so many people who are down with watery eyes and fever. This event was to increase awareness among the sufferers from allergy that they can fight out the symptoms through the season with the right advice and medication.

The beauty of flowers

If you are planning to craft a floral dress yourself for a special occasion, you need time and patience to prepare it, along with the right flowers. Carnations, roses, hydrangeas and orchids are some of the best flowers for dress purpose.
