The 5th Annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest Winner
Jul 9, 2009
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!

the weddingdresses must be simple…this is my opinion
wow! this dress is very elegant! who would have thought this was made out of toilet paper?? great work! =]
Cheap and chic indeed! I heard of another wedding gown that is made out of pink rose petals. Brides seem to be straying away from conventionality these days.
I am glad I didn’t take a bet on this. I would have lost Big time. Unbelievable.
I just wonder what would happen if it start to rain.
Very interesting concept!
Yes it’s a fun contest. I can’t wait to see next year’s toilet paper wedding dress entries!
I just can’t believe that this dress is made of toilet paper,very creative and unique idea it is.The designer really deserved to be the winner of contest.
I think this is highly creative effort, lets see what happens next year may be something more interesting and creative than this but this is really a master piece.
Wow! This looks amazing! It looks like it’s made of cloth not toilet paper.
This is really an amazing competition. These dresses are truly the designer’s masterpiece.
Impressive wedding gown. Who would have thought that this dress is made from toilet paper! How about her hat,is that also made from toilet paper?
That is amazing. Who would have thought that toilet paper could have such detail and look so good. It really rivals a lot of the dresses I’ve seen and they have been made of material. Well done to her for some great work.
I would never have known that this gown is made of toilet paper! Ingenious! Although, I’d be down on my knees praying that it won’t rain, if I had this gown om my wedding day.
So true! Or hoping that I wouldn’t cry.

Everyone likes to save money here and there. And for some, saving money on weddings is more than a hobby, and a little less than an obsession.
And then some go the other way, and no expense is too much!
If my brother had learned about this sooner, he would have had even more misgivings about paying that ridiculous amount of money for my niece’s wedding gown — which she will probably wear just once in her whole lifetime.
Now who would have thought that toilet paper can, yet again, serve us ladies another purpose?
Thanks for such an interesting article, Molly!
This is awesome stuff! Most couples are on a budget these days. A gown made of toilet paper would certainly cut costs in half without having to sacrifice style and chicness.
I would strongly recommend the bride to refrain from crying, though.
Thanks for a very interesting article!
Hah, it might be economical, but I’m not sure any bride would settle for a gown made from toilet paper. She might find it hard not to cry!
