Planning a wedding, you want to get everything from her? And dance plenty, and at the ceremony look great? But two outfits are too expensive, and a short model will not allow you to realize your childhood dream - to get married in a luxurious ball gown with a fluffy long skirt, foam of lace, ornaments, flowers ... Fortunately, wedding fashion designers could fulfill this transforming dress, which with a flick of the wrist turns from a long one ... into a short one, will fulfill your desire!

Thus, in the usual short dress on the dance floor, the bride will feel much more comfortable, especially in summer.

Such an unexpected "transformation" will be a real surprise for the guests.

History of

Strangely enough, the inventor of transforming dresses was not a professional couturier, but Lidia Sylvester - a young journalist who, by virtue of her profession, always had to carry a lot of clothes with her that were relevant for a given situation. This prompted her to come up with a dress that would easily transform and allow you to create different images.

Is it possible to make a hundred from one dress? Lydia Sylvestra gave the answer to this question in 1976, presenting her collection on the English catwalk, which created a real sensation in the press and in the fashion world.

This brilliant idea turned out to be very fruitful, including for wedding fashion, was picked up by designers and developed in a huge variety of models of wedding dresses, transformers.

By the way, it also allows you to solve the problem of a dress for the second day of weddings, because it is customary for the bride to appear in a different dress.

Variations of a transforming dress

Models of transforming dresses, perhaps, can be called the most creative and versatile among all the wedding dresses. They allowed designers to give free rein to fantasy, but at the same time they demanded a whole range of original solutions.

A dress with a long skirt should look like a single whole, and then turn with a “flick of the wrist” into a completely different style. And indeed, the transforming dress has ingenious accessories for fastening, for the time being hidden under decorative elements such as belts, flounces, frills, etc., and even more surprising is the transformation of a romantic fairy-tale princess with a modern elegant girl in a short dress.

Detachable skirt

Among the wedding dresses, transformers detachable skirt is perhaps the most popular option. The basis is usually a tight-fitting short dress, which can later be used as a cocktail dress, but with a fluffy long skirt - this is a magnificent wedding dress.

The detachable skirt can be:

  • the most different styles;
  • various pomp;
  • with a complex multi-tiered texture;
  • from different types of fabric, not necessarily coinciding with the fabric of the top.

For example, a long lace skirt gives the bride an amazing romance and tenderness, and the airy translucent will allow you to show beautiful slender legs.

A half-open skirt serves the same purpose - the front is short, gradually extending to the back. There are a lot of options, but beautiful drapery looks especially impressive.

As a rule, the detachable skirt is attached at the waist.The best option for mounting is considered a secret zipper, covered with a belt or pansy, which themselves turn into a decorative element. It is much safer than buttons or hooks, especially if the long skirt is rather heavy due to the abundance of frills and flounces.

Reliable fastening of the skirt is very important, because the groom or guests may inadvertently step on the hem of the dress, and then you will not be embarrassed!

There is another option for mounting - on the skirt, which is used for styles with a midi length skirt.

A striking example can "fish." This style is characterized by a tight-fitting silhouette, emphasizing all the advantages of the figure, and the fluffy lower part usually begins at the level of the knees or slightly higher.

The mermaid is distinguished by refinement, elegance and refinement, and to hide the line of fixation of the removable skirt, lace, volumetric flowers, bows and other decorative elements are used.

Patch skirt

Overhead skirts should not be confused with detachable, since they of different lengths are attached directly to the corset as needed.

So, for solemn and especially important moments (registration, photo session, arrival at the wedding banquet, the first dance of the newlyweds) the bride can be in a long skirt, and then change it for a short one, changing not only the silhouette of the dress, but also her image.

Such a transformation of the image usually causes guests not only surprise, but also admiration for the ingenuity of the developers of the model and the choice of the bride.

Snap-on cable

The train gives the image of the bride something regal, makes it luxurious and majestic, but also creates a lot of problems.

The bride constantly has to make sure that the train does not get dirty, never gets caught and doesn’t get torn, and others should take special care not to accidentally step on this part of the wedding dress.

It is almost impossible to spend the whole day in a wedding dress with a train and do not get it dirty, so a fastened train will save the bride from an extra headache: you can attach it to the registration, photo session and to arrive at the wedding banquet, for example, you can take off for a walk or dance.

The attachment of the loop is usually done with the help of buttons, and the attachment point is easy to disguise with the help of a rich arsenal of decorative elements for a wedding dress (artificial flowers, belts, ruffles, flounces, etc.).

There are models in which the cape can play the role of a plume.

Lace dress-transformer

Designers of wedding dresses love to use lace to create their models. It can be completely lace wedding dresses or some of their elements, for example, sleeves, inserts on the chest and on the back, flounces, etc.

Handmade laces are valued very highly from both the designer and financial points of view, but it must be admitted that they are worth it: the bride in a lace dress is an image incredibly feminine and sophisticated.

However, it is not at all necessary to use handmade laces. A completely acceptable alternative can be machine lace or guipure - a thin lace fabric, which, nevertheless, perfectly keeps its shape and is great for ruffles, flounces and puffy skirts.

Lace or guipure looks very impressive against the background of another fabric, especially iridescent, for example, satin.

In wedding dresses, transformers, lace and guipure are very often used for a removable skirt or a train, while the dress itself can be made of the same or a different fabric, and lace / guipure ruffles and flounces are used both to decorate the dress and to disguise the junction .

Advantages and disadvantages

The transforming wedding dress has much more advantages than disadvantages, however, they should be mentioned.

The “weak link” may be the fastening of a long skirt, so this moment should be given special attention and in the process of fitting it should be tested for its strength. It is also important that the process of removing / changing the skirt was quick and really carried out by a “flick of the wrist.”

If you sew a dress to order, then because of the complexity of the cut, it can cost more, but do not forget that you will get “two in one” - besides the wedding dress, also an elegant dress for cocktails and parties. Please note that the inside of the removable skirt is smooth, otherwise there will be hooks on the pantyhose, which will become noticeable after changing the style.

The advantages of such a dress is much greater. First of all, it is, of course, an opportunity to change the image, if not in front of the amazed public, then in a matter of minutes. We have already spoken about the possibility of using a transforming dress - you will not have to sadly open a wardrobe and admire your luxurious dress, which - alas! - already you will not show anywhere.

It should be recalled that the wedding banquet usually begins grandly noble, but after some time it turns into a fun party with competitions and dances, in which the bride is much more comfortable to take part in a short dress, and turn it from a princess bride into a bastard girl will give her the opportunity to truly relax and have fun at her own wedding. In addition, the legs can be demonstrated.

And, finally, a short dress will help the groom to adequately perform another tradition - with his teeth to pull off the lace garter from the feet of the newlywed. You must admit that it doesn’t look too decent when the bride has to pull up her fluffy skirts, and the groom needs to search for the coveted garter in this foam or lace.

There are no significant flaws in wedding dresses, transformers, so you can safely choose them. You will get beauty, comfort, variability and variety of styles. All future brides should take note of them.

    I think this is the most interesting and convenient option. The solemn part is in a long dress, and the dance part is in a short one. However, this option is less expensive than buying 2 dresses.
