make,” she said. “And that was pretty much
every day after work from like six o’clock
until midnight, and then sometimes a few
hours before work in the morning and
then every weekend.”
Hinz, a Broadway costume technician
who’s worked on productions like “Hamilton,”
was one of the top 12 finalists out
of 1,500 entries at this year’s 15th Annual
Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest, presented
by Charm Weddings and Quilted
Northern.
Her dress, along with the other finalists’
gowns, were featured in a nationally televised
fashion show event on Sept. 30.
“I didn’t place but it was a really, really
cool experience to be recognized for my
work and to have it showcased throughout
the country,” Hinz said.

When you see Lindsay
Hinz’s brilliantly white
wedding gown with layers
upon layers of ruffles,
accessorized with an
intricate fishnet headpiece
and a bouquet that
resembles a single rose, it’s
quite hard to believe that
she made it all using only
toilet paper.
