Please don't squeeze my wedding dress

Ann made this dress and won first place in a contest sponsored by cheap wedding dress .com. How cheap can it really have been, is my question. Every time I go to the store, I have sticker shock over the price of--toilet paper. Yes, she made this dress using toilet paper, tape and glue, as well as her origami skills. I guess it would come in hand for the mothers whose tears and noses flow freely at the ceremony. "Here, Mom, use my hem." Bad news if it rained that day, however. She did win $1,000 for her efforts. That will probably just about pay for the toilet paper.

  1. How pretty I used to sew all the time and made my daughter a sequin prom dress, I still have it in my cedar chest. It is good for the young people to know how to sew.

  2. I didn't read close enought I thought she made it by sewing, it looks to be made from fabric. She should make one with fabric, one of a kind.

  3. I made my wedding dress for under $100 (yes, one hundred, not one thousand) and I didn't have to use toilet paper. Her dress looks like a lot of work went into it, and it probably didn't last beyond the day.

  4. I can't believe its made for TP, but at the price TP is these day it wasn't cheap to make I am sure. She would have gotten by cheaper if she just bought cheap fabric.

  5. I just can't imagine that being made out of TP
