Green Leaf gets into the Guinness World Records! 18/02/07
The bridal shop Green Leaf, by Andreas Efstratiou, has entered the well famous Guinness World Records Book for creating the longest wedding dress train! This stunning creation, which is simply just a showpiece for Mr. Efstratiou’s exquisite design work, was presented to the public in Kato Paphos Port on the 26th December 2007, and was officially approved as a Guinness World Record on the 18th February 2007. The longest wedding dress train ever seen in the world measured 1362 m (4468 ft 5.94 in).
“It has taken ten people three months to finish the dress and it is simply stunning,” the 46-year-old, Managing Director of Green Leaf, said. “It is off-white and cost 20,000 Euro to make.” The bodice alone features 3,000 Swarovski crystals and is worth 5,000 Euro. The tulle fabric was bought in France, with the dress also featuring a lot of lace.
Mr. Efstratiou said he had been involved in the design of wedding dresses ever since his mother introduced him to the art when he was 10 years old!
“I am doing this to show people on the island that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.”
Five-hundred women applied for the privilege of modelling it, with the competition won by a local 23-year-old woman named Katerina.
The previous longest wedding dress train in the world measured 1,203.9 metres (3,949.8 feet) and was made by Cindy Predhomme and France Loridan for Une Semaine Chrono in Caudry, France on August 5, 2006.
