Attention, brides-to-be and wannabe-designers! The Seventh Annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest from Cheap Chic Weddings is underway!
Do you think that you can use toilet paper as your textile and make a gorgeous wedding dress? If you can, you just might win $1000 to put towards your wedding or your budding fashion career!
We all enjoy saving money here and there…but for some, saving money on weddings is more than a hobby, and a little less than an obsession. Roxie Radford, Laura Gawne and Susan Bain operate the popular website www.Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com.
This year, they host their seventh annual “Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest” based on the go-to bridal shower game where contestants create a gown made of toilet paper. This contest will run from May 5, 2011 to June 17, 2011. Winners will be announced on July 7th!
One Grand Prize winner will receive $1000, the second place winner will receive $500, and the third place winner will receive $250….not too shabby, right?
Here’s How to Enter:
First: Plan your design.
Second: Enlist a friend’s help (optional)
Third: Grab some Toilet Paper, Tape and/or Glue and/or Needle and Thread (that’s all you can use!)
Fourth: Make the dress on your model or mannequin and take some digital photos (front, back and side). Video clips are welcomed, but not necessary.
All photos and video are to be submitted to Cheap Chic Weddings at TPdresscontest@gmail.com. There is no entry fee. The Official Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Judging Panel at Cheap Chic Weddings will judge all of the digital photo entries.
“We are extremely excited about this year’s contest and look forward to seeing all of the creative entries. They never cease to amaze us!” says Laura Gawne of Cheap Chic Weddings.

Last year’s Grand Prize winner Galit Zeierman found inspiration in nature to come up with the winning design. (You check it out below.)
So grab your needle, your thread, your glue gun and…your toilet paper, budget fashionistas and beautiful brides!
MANIAC would love to see photos of your finished entries, too – tweet us your pics @ManiacMagazine so that we can root you all on in this contest!
Good Luck!
