Toilet Paper Bride

ANCHOR:
Weddings in the West are often world-class affairs. Brides and grooms spend thousands of dollars on parties... and of course finding the perfect dress is a must. But at one fashion competition in New York City, organizers had a different idea in mind.

STORY:
Women dream of how they'll dress up and walk down the aisle on that special day ... but not in this. This is no Vera Wang. Not chiffon either, but rather, Charmin, i.e., toilet paper.

TP also stands for top prize for Katrina Chalifoux. She won the toilet tissue wedding gown design contest sponsored by the TP brand, Charmin.

[Katrina Chalifoux, Competition Winner]:
"It's time consuming and it's tedious and I think it just has to be something that you're really having fun with."

She used seven rolls. She made small flowers by wetting the paper and letting it dry in molds.

[Katrina Chalifoux, Competition Winner]:
"I did layer the fabrics together, the toilet paper sheets together, to make some fabrics and things to make sheets of fabrics so I could make an actual pattern out of it. I did reinforce some of it with tape, not all of it, but some of it is reinforced with tape. And if you jerk on it really hard, you could probably rip it."

Or dissolve it lest someone spills the wine. Draped in Charmin, you may now squeeze the bride.
