When it came to constructing the dress, the Chesapeake, Virginia-based designer used (you guessed it) at least 12 rolls of Quilted Northern toilet paper, along with a few trusty additions like tape, glue, and thread, which held the dress together. The final result was a halter-style gown with a train that wrapped to the sides of the dress. The model also held a fan-like accessory as she debuted the piece.

Michael Russo, a celebrity wedding planner who was also a judge, said of the dresses: “These dresses, with the incredible level of detail and the originality of the design, make them showroom ready.”

And Cruz wasn’t the only designer to walk away with a cash prize. Augusto Manzanares from N.Y.C. came in second place and took home a $5,000 prize, while third place winner Mimoza Haska from Surfside Beach, SC received a check for $2,500.

So the next time you find yourself at a bridal shower, go ahead and give that toilet paper dress your best shot.
