Trends in Toilet Paper Dresses & Coffee Filter Prom Gowns :: Imagine this. A cheap-chic wedding site has an annual contest for who can make the most beautiful paper wedding dress. And then look at the pictures below, and be blown away by this spectacular dress.

It’s hard to believe that the winner of this paper wedding dress contest made her spectacular wedding gown from just toilet paper, tape and glue! This dress appears to be as beautiful as one made by a top designer in silk. Oscar de la Renta may soon have a new designer on their Haute Couture gown design team. This girl, Ann Kagawa Lee, is talented!

 

Cheap Chic Wedding Contest

This paper wedding dress made of toilet paper has been compared to the (silk) designs of Oscar the La Rent… It has been designed by Ann Kagawa Lee, and won the cheap chic wedding contest for her paper wedding gown design. (Amazing… a toilet paper dress… What you can do with toilet paper!!)

May I introduce … another Coffee Filter Paper Prom Dress Designer ?!

Another talented young paper dress designer: Aimee Kick. Besides studying (she’s only a high school student!), Aimee has been working in a coffee shop and translated her inspiration into this marvellous coffee filter prom dress. Don’t you just love this (girl)?

A contemporary Prom dress made 100% of coffee filters (Note that matching coffee-bean necklace – a great touch of style!  I like the idea of making this necklace on its own as a separate craft project.)
