Although you're about to make the biggest commitment of your life in marriage, you may not have decided on your wedding gown just yet, or perhaps you're still in love with multiple styles. One of the hottest trends, we're seeing straight off the runways are the ever popular detachable skirts. Withstanding the test of time, detachable skirts allow Brides their dramatic entrance in a ball gown with the sleek and chic maneuverability of a mermaid or sheath silhouette as the reception progresses. Fans of the detachable skirt can go from cathedral length to above the knee with the quick undoing of a few snaps and buttons. Now every fashionista bride can have that dress change effect without purchasing 2 separate dresses. Here are a few of the shape changers we love these days.
This signature Ines di Santo fitted corset ball gown, aptly named, ‘Blossom’ has a detachable train sewn with handmade silk organza cherry blossoms, each accented with luxurious pearls. The overskirt allows this sculptured mermaid gown a fuller, ethereal look while giving the bride two very distinct gowns to dance the night away.
Ysa Makino is known for his dramatic gowns and finishes. This voluminous detachable skirt adds dramatic appeal for the walk down the aisle and a Bride’s grand entrance, while the sophisticated Fit to Flare gown underneath enchants the senses with its sleek look and illusion neckline and sleeves.
From demure and luxurious to fun and flirty, this unique Inbal Dror gown with full overlay takes a bride through her wedding day and beyond! Radiant in her full-length wedding gown, bride’s can quick-change to this stunning party dress in seconds. Even better…the bride needn’t say goodbye to her wedding gown after the big day; the shorter gown can be worn to events well beyond the actual wedding.
Marchesa’s Grecian masterpiece screamed grandeur at their Spring 2016 runway show in New York City. The detachable tulle overskirt literally floated down the runway while the silver floral (so on trend!) embroidered accents glistened under the lights.
