South Africa Socialite Skolopad's famous boerewors outfit she wore to the annual Feather Awards in Joburg this week cost a measly R1500.

Her 34-year-old designer, Teboho Monatisa, who is based in Skolopad's home-town of QwaQwa, Free State, said the cost included material and labour.

"Although the material was very cheap, the labour does not come cheap," he said.

The material for the outrageous dress cost a little less than R300 including the boerewors and bag of charcoal that she used as a clutch bag.

Monatisa said when Skolopad came up with the idea, she wanted the wors to hang uncovered from her bra. "I suggested that we cover it with plastic and use the wors to hide her crucial body parts. She liked the idea."
