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

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)
There is a museum in Hyderabad and there are sculptures of marble of women coming out of water in wet silk clothes. Its much more delicate looking than these sculptures! Its really unbelievable
Which Hyderabad? To my knowledge, there is one in South India and one in Pakistan, and I really wanted to know more about those marble women.
