Whoa. The silk dress took 14+ years to complete. Worked on by 380 embroiderers from 51 countries who contributed an estimated billion and a half stitches. "They included female refugees from Palestine, Syria and Ukraine, women seeking asylum in the UK from Iran, Iraq, China, Nigeria and Namibia, survivors of war in Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Rwanda and impoverished and disadvantaged women in South Africa, Mexico and Egypt." https://www.positive.news/society/the-world-in-a-dress-the-project-with-1-5-billion-stitches/ #embroidery
