If you’re getting married this year, first let us say: congratulations!!! Next, we’d like to suggest to you a certain type of dress your bridesmaids will definitely glow in when they get dressed up for your big day. When it comes to planning weddings, we know how much there is to do on your part. Let us take some of the pressure off when it comes to your bridesmaids! Here are some great reasons why convertible wrap dresses are the perfect bridesmaid dresses this year.
All shapes & sizes
No woman is exactly the same, and that definitely applies to our bodies. Most bridesmaid stores usually will sell a one-size-fits-all package where either the dress doesn’t fit at all or they’re too much or too little of something. They will also often request additional charges should alterations be needed (something that can happen very easily, depending on the shoes you want your ladies to wear, or their varying heights). If you don’t have a reliable seamstress either, even after the fact, you could be in big trouble!
That’s what’s so great about convertible wrap dresses: they can fit all shapes and sizes of women no matter how tall or short, big or small, they are. Even if your best bridesmaid friend is in a wheelchair, that matters little; a convertible wrap dress will fit her too! In addition, alterations can be made very easily (so long as you add instructions beforehand when you order them; we’re great at altering dresses, but we’re not mind readers!).
Easy to adjust and style
One of the less than ideal things you can receive from one-size-fits-all dresses is that one style may not suit another woman’s body at all. The neckline, the back, the seams in back or front, how much exposure your ladies feel comfortable with—it can be pretty tough to accommodate each woman’s needs, and you certainly won’t be able to accomplish that by choosing a package with one-size-fits-all limitations.
With a convertible wrap dress, however, style is not sacrificed for comfort’s sake, and neither is comfort for style. What’s great about the wrap dress is you can adjust the top half however you want, with many styles to choose from that would flatter your body and make you feel beautiful—and that’s how your bridesmaids should feel! They’re present to celebrate your big day with you; why not treat them how you want to be treated on your wedding day: as a beautiful, accomplished woman?
Easy to travel with
If your wedding is taking place at a certain destination, such as Hawaii or Banff, naturally you’re going to have to travel to the venue and so will your bridal party. Unfortunately with most dresses you need to take care of them and can’t put them in a suitcase, or you have trouble packing because they wrinkle so easily!
If this sounds like what you’re dreading, then don’t—convertible wrap dresses are both lightweight and they don’t wrinkle easily at all. That means you can travel light and have enough room for other important accessories for the wedding, such as your shoes and jewelry. All you have to do when you unpack is put on the dress, and off you go! The wrap dress really is that easy to carry around and travel with.
So many colours!
One of the most fun (or the worst, depending on who you’re talking to!) parts of planning a wedding is deciding on a colour scheme. Like the style of the dress, the colour can either make or break your wedding photos, especially where skin colour is concerned. Just because you love a certain colour doesn’t mean it will suit everybody!
When it comes to convertible wrap dresses, you can pick and choose colours that will make your ladies stand out in terms of their unique selves (though not enough that they outshine you!). Usually a colour swatch is included for free so that you can decide which colour will best suit your ladies. Why not put a unique spin by selecting a pattern rather than a solid colour?
So there you have it! If you’re feeling sold on settling for convertible wrap dresses for your bridesmaids, feel free to send us a message to receive a free colour swatch (or two, or three…however many you need!).
