Transformer Wedding Dress

When planning a wedding, do you want to get everything from her? And dance ad libitum, and at the ceremony look great? But two outfits are too expensive, and a short model will not make it possible to realize your childhood dream - to get married in a luxurious ball gown with a fluffy long skirt, foam of lace, jewelry, flowers ... Fortunately, wedding fashion designers were able to fulfill this whim - wedding transforming dress, which with a flick of the wrist turns from a long ... 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 the summer.

Oddly enough, the inventor of transformer dresses was not a professional couturier, but Lydia Sylvester, a young journalist who, by virtue of her profession, had to always have a lot of clothes with her, appropriate for a given situation. This prompted her to come up with a dress that could be easily transformed and allowed to create different images.

Is it possible to make a hundred from one dress? Lydia Sylvester gave the answer to this question in 1976, presenting her collection on the English podium, which made a splash 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 was developed in a huge variety of models of transformer wedding dresses.

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

Models of transformer dresses, perhaps, can be called the most creative and versatile among all the proposed wedding dresses. They allowed designers to give free rein to imagination, but at the same time required a number of original solutions.

A dress with a long skirt should look like a single unit, and then with a “light movement of the hand" turn into a completely different style. Indeed, on the transformer dress there are ingenious devices for fastening, hidden for some time under decorative elements such as belts, flounces, ruffles, etc., and all the more unexpected it seems that the romantic fairy-tale princess turns into a modern elegant girl in a short dress.

Among the transformer wedding dresses, a 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 outfit.

A detachable skirt can be:

• very different styles;
• various splendor;
• with a complex multi-tiered texture;
• from different types of fabric, not necessarily matching top fabric.

So, for example, a long lace skirt gives the bride's image an amazing romance and tenderness, and an airy translucent one will demonstrate beautiful slender legs.

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

As a rule, a detachable skirt is attached at the waist. The best option for fastening is a hidden zipper, covered with a belt or peplum, which themselves turn into a decorative element. This is much more reliable than buttons or hooks, especially if the long skirt is rather heavy due to the abundance of frills and flounces.

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

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

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

False skirts should not be confused with detachable ones, as they of different lengths are fixed directly on the corset as needed.

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

The train gives the bride’s image something regal, makes it luxurious and majestic, but also creates many problems.

The bride constantly has to make sure that the train does not get dirty, doesn’t catch on anything or break, and others must be especially careful not to accidentally step on this part of the wedding toilet.

It is almost impossible to spend the whole day in a wedding dress with a train and not to stain it, so a fastened train will save the bride from unnecessary headaches: you can attach it to registration, a photo shoot and to arrive at a wedding banquet, and, for example, take it off for a walk or dance.

The loop is usually fastened with buttons, and the fastening place can easily be masked with a rich arsenal of decorative elements for a wedding dress (artificial flowers, belt, ruffles, flounces, etc.).

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

Wedding dress designers are very fond of using lace to create their models. It can be completely lace wedding dresses or their individual elements, for example, sleeves, inserts on the chest and on the back, shuttlecocks, etc.

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

In wedding transformer dresses, lace and guipure are very often used for a removable skirt or train, while the dress itself can be made from the same or another fabric, and lace / guipure ruffles and flounces are used both to decorate the dress and to mask the connection .

A transformer wedding dress has many more advantages than disadvantages, however, they should be mentioned.

Fastening a long skirt may turn out to be a “weak link”, so special attention should be paid to this moment and to check its strength during the fitting process. It is also important that the process of removing / changing the skirt is quick and really carried out with a “light hand movement”.

The advantages of such a dress are much greater. First of all, this, of course, is the opportunity to change the image, if not in front of an amazed audience, then in a matter of minutes. We have already talked about the possibility of using a transformer dress - you do not have to open the wardrobe with sadness and admire your luxurious dress, in which - alas! - nowhere will you show up.

And, finally, a short dress will help the groom to fulfill another tradition with dignity - to pull a lace garter from the legs of the newlywed with his teeth. You must admit that it doesn’t look too decent when the bride has to lift up her fluffy skirts, and the groom has to gropingly look for the desired garter in this foam of lace or silk.

Transformer wedding dresses do not have significant shortcomings, so you can safely choose them. You will get beauty, comfort, variability and a variety of styles. All future brides should take note of them.
