If you've ever wanted to wear paper, this slideshow is for you. Even if you haven't considered the possibilities of turning printer paper or an old phone book into a pretty party dress, these fauxrigami fashions and papercraft separates will get you up to speed quickly.

From toilet paper wedding gowns to phone book party dresses, these gorgeous ways to wear paper will have you hooked.
