Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest

by aisledash staff, Posted Apr 7th 2010 11:00AM

Creating a wedding dress out of toilet paper was once reserved for bridal showers, where guests would compete for a lotto ticket or similar prize. Today, designing a wedding dress out of toilet paper can win a bride $1,000, which she can use toward the cost of her wedding.

Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com just announced the launch of their sixth annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress contest, which runs from April 5 to May 15, 2010.

Dresses are judged on creativity, originality, beauty and the use of toilet paper. Here's how past winners and contestants designed their toilet paper wedding dresses:

Design and create a wedding gown and headpiece using only toilet paper with glue, tape or you can sew the pieces together using any combination of these methods. Entries should be emailed to be TPdresscontest@gmail.com.

Wouldn't the prize money of $1000. take a big hunk out of the cost of the toilet paper to make the dress?

Wonder how this would work with a "Sears & Roebuck Catalogue". .. For those of you who are too young to understand the connection... if you have a relative over 75 who grew up on a farm that had an "outhouse"...ask them.
