MemberI really like the jersey convertible dresses! I’ve never seen one in person though….Are they too casual for the bridesmaids to wear at a somewhat formal wedding?
I like the fact that the bridesmaids can change the style as they see fit; however, I am worried about the fact that it doesn’t seem as though they can wear a bra???
Thoughts???
Thanks!
Membersomething like two birds or dessy would be fine! also, they sell matching tube top things that your girls could wear over their strapless bras to give them more coverage if necessary.
MemberI think that dress could be worn with a bra. If there were spots where it was slipping (like @ the sides of the arms) I would probably just pin it to my bra from the inside to keep things covered.
There are strapless/convertable bras that can be worn with one strap, so I think there are tons of options there.
I love love love these dresses and wish I could afford one!
MemberThanks Ellistan and Kermie! I guess I’m just worried about it looking TOOO casual. I guess I could dress it up with a brooch or something??
MemberIf you’re going floor lenght as shown I wouldn’t worry about it being too informal. They are a jersey material, but there’s a bit of sheen to them. I think with the girls all done up (hair, makeup, jewlery, and heels) you won’t be concerned with the formality of the dress. BUT you’re totally right you can accessorize if you are.
MemberI am planning on the floor length, and yeah, I think a cute necklace and/or rings would be cute!

MemberI think that it really depends on what feels formal to you. They’re jersey knit, so if you think of other knit dresses that will give you an idea of how they look in person as far as fabric.
As for wearing a bra, find a company that offers the tube tops to go under them. They make them in the same fabric, and it just adds more coverage.
The main downside of these is that typically when you tie them to have coverage in the front, you lose it in the back, and vice versa. It’s hard to wrap them to give full coverage where you can wear a bra- hence the need for the tube tops under them.
MemberThanks tinylittlebird! Great advice! I am definitely going to look into the tube top.
MemberI’m ordering mine through a seller on Etsy…we are definitely getting the tube tops for modesty. Also, I’ve seen some have more intricate hems, which seem more “dressy” to me…I would love these if we weren’t on such a tight budget!
Membermy bridesmaids are doing convertible dresses, each with their own styles and we did a “test run” and i think it looks awesome. we have a beachside wedding, so it fit that sorta formality for sure. not sure what you’re working for, but imo, i think the fabric makes more difference than the style.
MemberI also think that going with a darker color could increase the formality…. the picture you showed us is a deep blue, which gives a more “evening” look… if you went with something really light in color, it might make it look even more “daytime” and casual….
MemberI’m facing the same problem! I am looking into the convertible dresses in a stretchy material (label says poly). I bought one for myself and love it for a formal look. I would likely do them in black but length is at the knee. Id like a relatively formal wedding, but worry the length and style of the Bridesmaid or Best Man dresses isnt formal enough?
