Ever fancied yourself in one of those amazing gowns that Disney princesses wore? These four biotechnological students from Hefei Normal University in eastern China's Anhui Province will make your dream come true, with their eco-friendly evening dress made out of 2,000 leaves.

The fantastic four collected more than 6,000 leaves, and used around 2,000 of them to make the dress in six months. They used an alkaline solution to dry out the leaves, making them easier to use in their project.

The prototype of the yellow dress made of leaves is the 'imperial robe' worn by popular Chinese actress Fan Bingbing at Cannes Film Festival.
