Pics: Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest Finalist Hails From Bushwick

BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — Bushwick is representing in a nationwide competition to make a wedding dress out of toilet paper.

Designer Van Tran is one of 10 finalists in the 13th Annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest sponsored by Cheap Chic Weddings — a website that offers tips on getting hitched on the cheap — and Quilted Northern Bath Tissue.

Tran, whom the Brooklyn Eagle reports resides in Bushwick, won $10,000 in last year’s competition for her haute couture bathroom tissue wedding dress.

Competition for this year’s $10,000 prize is as stiff as superglued toilet paper — Cheap Chic Weddings reportedly received thousands of entries from across the United States.

The public can vote on a “fan favorite” gown on the company website and a panel of judges will chose a winner during a fashion show at Loft 29 in Manhattan on July 20, Brooklyn Eagle reports.

The winning toilet paper gown will be displayed at Ripley’s Believe it or Not, a co-sponsor of the event, according to Brooklyn Eagle.

Check out pictures of the other finalists, clad in epic Quilted Northern gowns, below.
