Benefits and Features
Even though fashion is constantly changing, and designers are trying their best to create new original collections, long wedding dresses do not go out of trend. All representatives of royal families got married exclusively in luxurious floor-length dresses. Therefore, if you want to feel like a real princess, this is your choice. But it’s not just the external splendor that makes such outfits stand out.
Long wedding dresses:
- universal and suitable for girls of any height and figure
- suitable for any weather, depending on the fabric
- presented in different styles and models
To wear a short dress to a wedding, you need to be very brave and have perfect legs. But floor-length wedding dresses hide flaws and emphasize the advantages of the figure. In addition, the collections of modern designers offer a very wide selection. You can choose an outfit with cut-out legs, a deep neckline, a very long train or an asymmetrical style. And that's not even mentioning the finishing and decor options.
Fabrics and materials
The material of the dress for the celebration should be chosen based on seasonality, the style of the ceremony, your personal preferences and the model of the dress. If you want to buy a dress with a full skirt, then you should pay attention to organza and satin - these fabrics add airiness to the image and hold their shape perfectly.
Satin and silk will make the dress more flowy and add elegance to the look. Such fabrics are perfect for wedding dresses in the empire style and A-line.
It is possible to combine fabrics of different textures, which will give the image originality and exclusivity without oversaturating them: for example, an embroidered lace corset with a satin skirt without decoration or a silk flowing dress with a velvet element in the form of a cape.
What to do if the wedding dress is too long?
Any bride dreams of her image being the most beautiful, the most memorable. And a very long wedding dress, of course, contributes to this. But this option will not always be convenient. If you are planning a celebration on a hot summer day, then within a few hours you will hate your outfit, languishing in the heat and dreaming of the end of the holiday. In autumn or early spring, when there is a lot of rain and slush, a wedding dress that is too long will also cause a lot of inconvenience. Therefore, this option is only suitable for winter and early summer, when the weather is good and no precipitation is expected.

Also think about the format of the event in advance. If you are planning a lot of competitions, dances, you like to have fun with friends and don’t want to sit at the table all evening, you will need to think about an alternative. For example, wear a floor-length wedding dress with a train for the formal registration and photo shoot, and then change clothes.
Variability of transformable wedding dresses
How can you transform an outfit with “light hand movements”? There is a lot of room for imagination here. Traditional shift wedding dresses are identified with an overlay or detachable full skirt, where the dress suddenly transforms from a strict, stately form into an elegant modern model.

In this case, the basis is a tight-fitting dress that hugs the contours of the figure, on top of which is fastened a regal outfit of airy flounces and lace that is impressive in its grace and shape. The basic dress can be either mini or medium length . For example, the popular model of a wedding dress “fish” (“mermaid”, godet) involves attaching a removable skirt with lush flounces at the level of the hips and even the knees. Having unfastened it, the bride appears in a modern elegant look, showing open legs and beautiful shoes.
There are many options for an overlay or clip-on skirt.
These can be free-flowing lace or translucent airy skirts. The train skirt looks original, shortened in front and lengthening towards the back.
The train is a classic option that is passed down from generation to generation. It is gorgeous, but, alas, impractical in the modern rhythm of life. But the removable train is a completely different matter . After a pompous ceremony, you can unfasten it, liberating your movements and improving dynamics.

As for the top, the imagination of designers suggests cape models, when a translucent skirt is combined with the upper closed part and is removed along with it, exposing the shoulders and arms. Options with a removable top and pseudo-sleeves are also presented For example, pappilio models with detachable straps and a removable lace stole. If the fabric of the base dress is thick, then it can be an elegant bolero, under which open shoulders and a neckline are disguised.
Attaching removable parts of a transformable outfit
Transformers - a practical and comfortable outfit . The only thing you should pay attention to is the reliability of fastening its detachable parts in order to avoid embarrassment if the bride suddenly gets caught on something by the long hem or one of the guests accidentally steps on the train.

The most reliable method of fixation is a hidden zipper. It not only prevents accidental premature exposure, but is also easy to use, allowing you to quickly detach or attach the decorous and noble component of the dress. Velcro and buttons are also convenient to use, but in terms of reliability they are significantly inferior to zippers and buttons. You can use hooks and ribbons as fasteners, but they are more labor-intensive to unfasten and fasten, so they are used only in cases of infrequent changes of “scenery” of the bride’s wedding ensemble.
The attachment points are usually hidden under ruffles , decorative elements of the dress, flounces and basques. Therefore, at first glance, no uninitiated would even guess that a dress can be transformed literally in a matter of minutes from one style to another.
If the dress uses a removable skirt, care should be taken to ensure that the underside is smooth and does not leave any snags on the tights
After all, upon subsequent unfastening, the society will be shown slender legs that should look perfect.

Evening dresses for weddings for pregnant women
At a special event, every girl wants to be beautiful and elegant. There is nothing more beautiful than the figure of a pregnant woman. If you are in a special situation, this is not a reason to refuse to buy a new outfit.
Many pregnant girls prefer not to spend money on a new outfit, since after the baby is born, the dress will simply hang in the closet.
When choosing an outfit, pregnant girls will have to abandon the classic fitted options. Outfits with a high waistline will look most flattering.
Try to choose the most loose and comfortable style that will not restrict movement. But at the same time, the outfit must match the setting and the wedding celebration. Shoes with low heels or wedges will look cute.
Choosing an evening dress for plus size people
Every girl deserves to look beautiful, regardless of the characteristics of her figure. To look perfect at a wedding, girls with curvy figures should take into account some nuances when choosing a dress.
First, don't buy an outfit that is made of stretch. This fabric will only highlight existing flaws in the silhouette. An overweight girl in such an outfit will look ridiculous and funny. In order to visually disguise imperfect parts of the body, purchase a dress made of chiffon or silk.
Secondly, it is not recommended to choose an outfit in pastel colors, or too bright ones. This will highlight flaws. On plump women, dresses in purple shades, a light dress in muted red, as well as emerald and navy colors will look harmonious. This color scheme highlights the necessary parts of the body of curvy ladies, creating the image of a stylish and fashionable girl.
Thirdly, it is not recommended to wear a dress that has large prints and designs . It is better to choose a plain fabric. If you want to divert attention from your voluminous hips, you can focus on something else - your neck or shoulders.
A plump girl should not bare her arms, this will only highlight her plumpness and will look unaesthetic.
Do not wear bulky jewelry or jewelry. High-heeled shoes are considered the most suitable option. This will give you a slimmer figure, making your look more feminine.
