Ann Kagawa Lee of Honolulu, Hawai; Contest Winner

Here at ToiletPaperWorld.com we’re all for being thrifty and finding creative ways to save money.  But this one impressed even us!  When I initially saw this image, I thought to myself  “What an exquisite dress!”  Then when I realized it was made from toilet paper, I was down right stunned.   This dress rivals some couture pieces!

The dress and headpiece were designed by Ann Kagawa Lee of Honolulu, Hawaii and are made only out of Charmin toilet paper, tape, and glue.   Ann was the grand prize winner of Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com‘s 5th Annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest and took home $1,000 for her extraordinary efforts.  Her piece is a blend of “Gone with the Wind” and Japanese origami themes.

Congratulations Ann!
