Crowned the winner of the 11th annual Cheap Chic Weddings Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest, Donna Pope Vincler, of Brentwood, Tennessee, will also get to see her dress turned into a real ready-to-wear item available for sale in certain stores.

Ms. Vincler's design reflects a certain Southern elegance with the top hat and veil, tailored bodice with bow tie, and long, flowing train covered in flowers. It's as if all she needed to do was detach her train and she'd be ready for a ride or a hunt.

(Isn't Charmin that squeezable brand? )
