A Chinese wedding dress factory said eight workers spent 40 days creating a $1.5 million dress from 2,009 peacock feathers. Per Surprising World, male peacocks each shed an average 200 feathers during an average year which means the dress would have needed dropped feathers from more than 10 birds for a year to gather enough for the gown.

The showing of this dress took place at a 2009 wedding expo held in Nanjing, China.
