Edinburgh-based artist Alasdair Thomson sculpts artworks of our everyday items that do not seem very heavy at the first glance. But his ongoing interest in the subject of drapery and in the way that it hangs and folds results in these precise marble sculptures, and it's hard to believe they are made of stone.
This Italian-trained sculptor mastered the carving of large-scale sculptures as well as other elements of decorative stonework. In his amazingly detailed artworks, he portrays the gracefulness of flowing fabric by sculpting light objects like dresses, skirts, or other items of clothing. Scroll down to see them for yourself!

Wait... if that's really marble, how is the dress being held up by two skinny straps?

it has always awed me how sculptures of marble could be made to look so fluid and soft to the touch

Same thought here. "They seemed to worship athletic clothes, as they built them out of marble"...

Are the hangers marble too or is the statue mounted (giggity) to the wall and it's just there as a prop?

This is such a naive and innocent comment it made me laugh out loud! You know, Kiahna, I really do not believe that Alasdair Thomson, an award-winning sculptor with a lot of exhibitions is to be seen as a hobby craft maker out to sell trinkets at a bazaar. Check him out at https://www.alasdaircthomson.com. Very impressive. Personally, I would just love to own one of his marble dresses. :-)

You could totally make a huge business out of this! Like people send you their babies shoes or even a wedding dress or something and you carve it (for a pretty penny, of course)
