Okay, chances are you've never heard of Lee, but she's soon to be a household name for her unbelievable skills as a designer -- working with toilet paper, tape and glue. (And please don't squeeze the garment!)
Lee is the winner of the 2009 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress contest hosted by Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com, and she's taking home the $1,000 top prize for her creation.
Lee says her design has a "Gone with the Wind" influence, and she used her origami skills to create a stunning bridal gown. Her work has been compared to Oscar de la Renta's.
Lee's dress, as well as the second and third place winners' gowns, will be on permanent exhibit in a Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Museum.
