Wedding dresses can be super expensive. No matter what kind of look you’re going for, it’s almost impossible to find something that’s “in your price range,” unless – of course – you do the smart thing and go to sample sales.
But, some companies are here to help us out of the nightmare of shopping for a dress for our “special day,” and also, give us some inexpensive choices – like Cheap Chic Weddings. To add to the fun, they host an annual toilet paper dress contest – like the ones you usually do at bridal showers – but, these dresses are so gorgeous, you won’t believe they’re actually made out of toilet paper.
There are over 1,500 contest entries usually – but only 10 are selected as the winners. To top it off, the 10 dresses are featured in a New York City runway show and the grand prize winner gets $10,000 and a display in Times Square, New York.
This year was the 13th year that the company held the competition and – the designers really outdid themselves.
How are these toilet paper? Seriously?!?
