A woman won a national competition by making a wedding dress from toilet paper!

Susan Brennan has added four jumbo rolls of two-ply Charmin to her list of acceptable wedding dress materials.

Susan won top prize in a national contest by making a wedding dress from toilet paper, packing tape and glue. The dress took Susan about a week to finish.

The dress -- white, of course -- features flowers along the bottom and a pleated bodice. Toilet paper feathers help accent the dress, along with a bracelet. And there's even a hairpiece.

"I did techniques you could do with fabric. But instead of stitching them, I used tape and glue... a LOT of tape and glue," said Susan, 25. She called it a "modern, fun, little dress."

She noted that, in the event something were to be spilled on the dress -- perhaps a flute of champagne? -- "it's pretty absorbent."

The dress my now be passed on to Ripley's Believe it or Not, a sponsor as they have taken the dressses from past contest winners to display in a Ripley's museum.


Susan said she hopes the exposure from the contest leads to a full-time job in a creative field. The wedding dress isn't Susan's first foray into creative clothing design, she once made a dress out of crisp bags.
