I forget what magazine though because it was a while back... but it was super cute. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/convertible-dress#post-50940 Fri, 16 May 2008 17:42:00 +0000 abotich87 50940@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I don't know of a wedding gown that does that but I have seen a gorgeous Jim Hjelm bridesmaid dress that is convertable. I also heard that people now are starting to order bridesmaids dresses in white or ivory&nbsp; and using them in place of a wedding gown. This is a great idea if you are on a budget. It might be something to consider if you like the dress enough! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/convertible-dress#post-38368 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:14:22 +0000 piperbenjamin 38368@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i have seen detachable trains in action on the catwalk at the unbridaled bridal show in philly in feb... and if i didnt have my dress already i would have one of those! i always joked i wanted&nbsp;a tearaway dress (long for ceremony short for party) so i think it's cool. they were designed by <a href="http://www.hennessymayd.com/">http://www.hennessymayd.com/</a>&nbsp; if you are in the philly area you should give them a call, i have been to the shop &amp; the owner is&nbsp;really nice. basically they are all custom designs, so&nbsp;im sure&nbsp;you could take your idea to another seamstress in your area. otherwise you could always buy two dresses.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/convertible-dress#post-38316 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 15:58:55 +0000 sphbride 38316@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>You might like the JSM1095 from Sottero and Midgley :)&nbsp; It's curve hugging.&nbsp; Go try it on, the pictures online doesn't do it justice at all!</p> <p>I've heard there are dresses w/ detachable trains.&nbsp; My friend bought one in David's Bridal years ago.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/convertible-dress#post-38285 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 15:01:28 +0000 glittergrl 38285@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Carolina Herrera makes convertible dresses.

It has a lace overlay over a satin sheath. The bottom of the sheath detaches to reveal a short lace hem. It is style &lt;span class="bodycopy2"&gt;1774NT. You can see a photo on theknot. I believe I have also recently seen it for sale on craigslist. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/convertible-dress#post-38237 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 13:21:29 +0000 dannysgal24 38237@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>OMG, I did the same thing!&nbsp; At first I was dead set on a slinky number (since we are having a night wedding I thought I'd want it sexy.)&nbsp; But then I went to try dresses on and fell in LOVE with a ballgown cuz I looked like a princess!&nbsp; I didn't get it and then went back and forth on what I wanted, tried to find a convertible, but they all didn't work for me.&nbsp; FINALLY, I found THE PERFECT dress and have my last fitting this Saturday!&nbsp; Check it out, I highly recommend and think you'll love it!!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=1604&amp;prodgroup=92" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=1604&amp;prodgroup=92</a> </p> <pre>&nbsp;</pre> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/convertible-dress#post-37974 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:45:50 +0000 suzanno 37974@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I have not seen&nbsp;any dresses that purport to be convertible.&nbsp; I did try on a couple of dresses that actually had a separate bodice and skirt, although for those dresses the bodice was boned, and so pretty structured (not slinky in any way).&nbsp; If you had a two piece dress, you could have two separate skirts - one full and ball-gowny, and one less so.&nbsp; I'm not sure what kind of bodice you are thinking would go with a slinky skirt and with a poofy skirt, and I'm having trouble thinking of one, but I would suggest that you look at two-piece dresses, and maybe think about a second dress for the reception.&nbsp; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/convertible-dress#post-37964 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 11:31:58 +0000 emmeeay-L 37964@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hoping for your help-Bees!</p> <p>&nbsp;So all along when I pictured my wedding dress it would be a long, lean dress, a low-cut (but classic, and not sleazy) and curve hugging dress (in a good way).</p> <p>&nbsp;But then, I tried on a poofy ballgown this weekend and fell in love.&nbsp; But the realistic side of me knows that I would not want to wear that gown all night...</p> <p>Have any of you Bees heard of (or know of any designers) that make convertible dresses (like you can take the tulle skirt off and it reveals a slinkier dress for the reception)?</p>
