Ann Kagawa Lee is certainly patient. She created a dress entirely out of toilet paper for Cheap Chic Wedding’s toilet-paper wedding dress contest. As if that’s not impressive enough, the dress is actually quite beautiful!
The design by Ann Kagawa Lee for Cheap Chic Wedding included a strapless dress and intricate hat. The designs were apparently inspired by 'Gone With the Wind.' Ann Kagawa Lee won $1000 for her design--and my respect for taking the time to make something so beautiful out of toilet paper!
