A wedding dress is not a very practical thing. Therefore, many girls prefer to either rent an outfit, or choose a modest option that can be used in the future. However, some beauties make the dream of a princess dress come true. If you don't want to sell a wedding outfit, use it for practical purposes.
Wedding dress transformations
A wedding dress will be a wonderful base for another evening dress. It is great if there is a corset or a well-defined bodice. Choose a material of a different color that suits the texture, cut out the skirt and sew to the top. Also redo the top a bit. For example, remove numerous beads / sequins, draperies, and other bridal details.
When laying out, pay great attention to the color of the selected fabric. If the corset / top is white, pastel shades are ideal, as well as black. In the latter version, the outfit must be made as laconic as possible.
If your wedding dress is made in the Empire style, you can sew a wonderful summer outfit out of it with your own hands. It will not be difficult to do this even with minimal sewing skills. Just determine the final desired length and cut the dress (leaving a 2-3 cm allowance). Fold over and hem the hem. To make the dress less formal, sew the hem with contrasting / bright tape or ribbon.
A wedding dress of any cut can be used to create a spectacular New Year's party outfit for a little lady. To do this, completely open the garment and iron the resulting fabric. For example, she can turn into the outfit of a beautiful snowflake / snow maiden or a snow-white bunny.
Sew your wedding dress into an outfit for intimate themed nights. Shorten it radically, add sexy details and vibrant nuances. Use the leftover fabric to create a spectacular veiled hat or pretty gloves. Your husband will be happy to “play” with the renewed “bride”.
Wedding dress: radical rework
A long puffy wedding dress is a large amount of beautiful, high quality material. If you know how to sew, it can be turned into very practical items for the home. For example, an outfit can be altered into a chic quilted bedspread or beautiful decorative pillowcases.
Cutting out dresses is a laborious and time-consuming procedure. However, as a result, you will get a lot of good fabric from which you can create practical and useful things. Also, don't forget to carefully rip off the sequins and beads.
If there is not enough wedding dress for a large bedspread, sew an outfit for your pet out of it. You will get a spectacular sundress / skirt for a small dog or cat. Your pet will look glamorous and unique.
You can also sew a lot of accessories from a wedding dress. For example, hair ties, satin belts, a flower brooch, a vintage handbag. But a multilayer mesh petticoat is not worth "wasting": just shorten it a little and combine it with various summer tops and sandals, as did Sarah Jessica Parker's heroine in the Sex and the City TV series.
