\nWhen a 22-year-old Abbey Ramirez-Bodley from Arkansas city, U.S. couldn\u2019t find a wedding dress in her budget, she decided to make one herself. Her aunt, who taught her how to crochet when she was 3 years old, kindly agreed to help. On October 17th, after 8 months of hard work, Ramirez-Bodley walked down the aisle in the dress of her dreams which only cost her $70, plus $100 for a green dress underneath.
\n\u201cMaking something with your own hands out of love is very special on the most important day of your life,\u201d Ramirez-Bodley told Mashable. For the brides-to-be out there, she has one piece of advice to give: \u201cStart early and don\u2019t get frustrated. The outcome is worth all the work.\u201d
