Finalists in the contest showed how to reduce wedding costs, while showcasing the versatility²（多功能性） of the material in New York on Wednesday.

Among the entrants（竞赛者） were gowns embroidered³ with pearls and crystals with figure-hugging designs.

Susan Brennan from Orchard⁴ Lake, Michigan was crowned the winner for the second year in a row, scooping⁵ the prize money of $2,012.

Ms Brennan's dress was constructed out of 10 rolls of toilet paper, which she managed to make in just a week.

"I wanted something really original, something young brides would want to wear," the 26-year-old designer said.

"It has the high-low hems⁶, so your shoes can show, really fun back. So really fun with the cutouts very modern and it's my little bohemian（波西米亚的） cupcake."

The contest, which is in its eighth year, was created by Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com which operates a money-saving website for prospective⁷ brides.
