雅思阅读材料之10卷厕纸制成另类惊艳婚纱

The winner of a toilet paper wedding dress contest shows how cheap can be chic with her dress made out of 10 jumbo rolls of bathroom tissue.

Finalists in the contest showed how to reduce wedding costs, while showcasing the versatility of the material in New York on Wednesday.

Among the entrants were gowns embroidered with pearls and crystals with figure-hugging designs.

Susan Brennan from Orchard Lake, Michigan was crowned the winner for the second year in a row, scooping the prize money of $2,012 (£1,293).

Ms Brennan's dress was constructed out of 10 rolls of toilet paper, which she managed to make 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 hems, so your shoes can show, really fun back. So really fun with the cutouts very modern and it's my little bohemian cupcake."

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

【新闻快讯】据英国《每日电讯报》6月27日消息，一位26岁美国的婚纱设计师凭借一套用10卷厕纸制成的婚纱在一场婚纱设计大赛中获得头奖，赢得了2012美元奖金。这场比赛是为了向人们如何节约婚礼开支，同时也展现了厕纸的多样化用途。

这位设计师名叫苏珊-布伦南，是该项赛事的卫冕。她说：“我希望婚纱中使用一些原始的材料，一些你的身体真正想要穿着的东西。”据苏珊介绍，她制作这件婚纱用了一周的时间。苏珊说：“这件婚纱的下摆可以让新娘露出漂亮的鞋子，后背的镂空部分也很有现代感。”

让苏珊获得的婚纱设计比赛始于8年前，是由一个致力于节俭办婚礼的网站组织的，这是一家为准新娘们省钱出谋划策的网站。进入决赛的选手都要展示他们的设计是怎样在不让婚礼逊色的前提下节约成本的。
