Toilet paper wedding dresses takes the cake

This year’s winner is Katrina Chalifoux of Rockford, Illinois. Chalifoux spent two weeks creating the dress. She used seven rolls of toilet paper to create the floral bodice and train. “It’s a challenge to make toilet paper look like fabric. It’s not exactly luxurious,” Chalifoux says.

Tourists gaped at six stunning wedding dresses displayed at Ripley's Believe It or Not! in New York's Times Square. The fashionable white frocks were fashioned entirely of toilet paper.
