Most people spend their morning commute catching up on work, reading a book or maybe listening to a podcast.
Most people are not making their own wedding dress.
But this industrious young woman did just that.
Reddit user Alkiktat posted this photo her self-made wedding dress (below) and it’s unbelievable.
She crocheted it herself on the bus on her way to work and she says it only cost her about $30 in materials.
Yep. Seriously. Pick your jaw off the ground.
This beautiful creation took her about five months to finish.
“My commute time couldn’t be used for anything else anyway,” she wrote on the post.
“The dress is also machine washable (I’ve washed it several times), doesn’t wrinkle or need any special care, and I plan on wearing it again with linings of different colours and with the train bustled up in different ways.”

My mum used her knitting machine to make her own wedding dress. She and my dad recently celebrated their 40th anniversary. Unfortunately she cut the dress up to make a top and skirt so I never saw it nor had the option of wearing it!
I started learning crochet a few months ago and this is really inspiring as I've been hesitant to try more complex patterns. That dress pattern looks similar to a shawl I want to try, I think the pattern is called pineapple.
