参赛者很认真地对待比赛，比赛的标准也很高。在提交的1500个参赛作品中，只有10个服装生产商进入了决赛。但他们的创意确实令人惊叹，尤其是考虑到他们只能使用厕纸、胶水、剪刀、胶带和线。14年前，两位婚礼网站“廉价时尚婚礼”的创始人首次提出了用那些不容易制作婚纱的材料举办一场时尚婚礼比赛的想法。
I gotta tell you from a distance you can't tell if it's the real thing, or what I mean the product itself is so good.That it, it that, as we looked at many of the dresses and seeing unique uses of it.It's just amazing what many of these designers are able to create.
我必须得说从远处看你根本无法判断这是不是真品，还是我说的产品本身很好。当我们看到很多裙子并看到它独特的用途时。很多设计师都能创造出令人惊叹的东西。

一平方我每晚就要耗费一个半小时的时间，每晚。所以我妹妹就会说‘上帝啊，你觉得你能完成吗？’嗯，我必须做完。

但是他所有的努力都得到了回报，竞赛的获胜者得到了1万美元奖金。因此，去年失去花店工作的罗伊现在可以飞往菲律宾，与家人共度美好时光。尽管如此，今天的决赛选手还是不会被警告，因为比赛开始后，只有一件礼服出现在婚礼的现场。新娘只要确保她婚礼那天天气晴朗。
