The 54-year-old Levvit lives in Leicestershire's hin with her husband Michael and her 2 daughters. She said, "I was inspired from Kate's wedding dress on TV. I made several balloon skirt before. And I planned to make balloon wedding dresses. So I expect to made a copy of Kate' dress."
Levvit made clothes with balloons for both 2 daughters. One blue balloon jacket for Vicki and one balloon skirt chequered with black and white for Natalie. These clothes can keep for about 2 weeks and then the balloons begin air leak.
Vicki introduced that, "Balloon skirt is really fantastic because it make changes to my daily clothes. It is a little difficult to put it on because those balloons can easily explode. But it is really comfortable if you wear it in an appropriate way. My friends cannot believe it when they see me with those balloons. They love it because it is unique."
Levvit began her balloon knitting 15 years ago. She was a busker who draw types of facial mask-like male makeup in Chinese opera for children. Afterwards, someone suggest her to try balloon knitting for sale. She bought a book for self-study and then never stopped.
Kate's wedding dress is one of Levvit's balloon artwork. She can knit all kinds of necessities in daily life such as cars, bicycles, cell phones, hats, flowers and so on .
Once she made a Cadillac with pink balloons and rode a circle in Hinckley. "It was a birthday gift, Levvit said, "we made a circle in downtown. The police cannot believe it when they saw us. Everyone stopped when they saw us; people ran after us in the street."
"I am crazy for balloons. I never stopping thinking about creating new things with balloons." She said. Achieving success in the production of balloon wedding dresses brought herself much confidence. Her next plan is to create a costume for the pop singer of American popular music Lady Gaga."I am sure that it will be a shock if she wear it."She said. Wish her every success in her career---the magic and unique balloon wedding dresses.
