Not very new, when I was a kid paper dresses were the gig hype for a few months.. the toilet paper part is original though.

Ok..... If you can use tape or glue, glue would work on the toilet tissue like a sizing, starch making it less prone to water damage. Also easier is to line toilet tissue with tape, like webbing or other lining material strengthening the toilet tissue. Even doubling or tripling the TP would help strengthen the material.

HHHMMMM....it would be really interesting to try it. I'm not sure if I would have the patience for it, though. It's getting the juices flowing in my brain, I love to design things.... huh.gif

Actually, I have a niece that I could make them into flower girls, that would be cute....and make my nephew into the ring barer(sp? well spell check didn't catch it, LOL).....See? I get way into things, LOL

I'd be brave enough to model one... But wear one to a real wedding... I don't think so.

But some of those were gorgeous. Much better than my wedding dress. *Jealous.*

Yeah... I like candles... smoking I could do without though.

XD

Reminds me of an anime episode I watched... Better warn her not to be around liquids too. I mean think about what TP does when you get it wet.

LOL, well, they would smell pretty! I guess if you were trying to break into the designer business and/or wanted the prize money, it would be worth it.

You know, in a way it's a great medium to play around with, it's cheap, and if you're good at it, you'd be able to make something that you could make a pattern from.

I know they use tissue paper for patterns (It's a little stronger than the stuff you buy to put in presents).

And this way you'd see how it looked on someone before you spent the load of dough on satin and silks for the dress. Though personally, my dream wedding dress is made of cotton.

*Grins* After all, I want my second wedding (If I ever get married again) on a Hawaiian beach. I'd want something I don't mind getting wet.

and yeah, it'll be cheap, but then again, I want the reception to be uber simple. Hm... wonder if I would be able to get away with a simple sundress for my second wedding, and no shoes.

I hate walking on a beach in shoes.

Me, too! I would want a very simple wedding if I ever get married. The idea of walking down an aisle in front of hundreds of people scares the crap out of me. And I want a kareoke machine set up for when everyone is totally looped with a video machine hidden taping everyone. Oh, I'd love that! They would have such a surprise when they saw themselves, it would probably be a total hoot!
