Dutch designer Iris van Herpen has unveiled the world's first wedding dress created using a 3D printer. The owner of the outfit was Mariana Pavalini, a tax lawyer from Brazil.

To implement the idea, the bride's body was scanned, creating a 3D model of her. Next, a base was sewn from the base fabric, on which the printed elements were placed. In total, it took 600 hours to work, the file size of the dress was 216.7 MB.

Iris van Herpen, talking about the work, noted: 

"There are no seams here. You can't do that with an ordinary drawing. It was a real dream project for me, because 3D-printed models can be seen in museums and on catwalks. But when someone wears it on the most special day of their life, I think it's really something else."
