Wedding My wedding dress transformation

[mrswahs]

I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of my wedding dress

I got married in Hawaii:


I "trashed" the dress:


I got it cleaned and wore it to our AHR back home:


I got it shortened and will wear it on our anniversaries, it's a cute little dress now!


I know this isn't for everyone, but I love that I really got great use out of it and it's not just sitting in a box never to be worn again.

It looks great as a cocktail length dress! Almost makes me want to think about doing the same. I had a gown with the same silhouette.

What a great idea...I would have loved to have gotten more use out of mine.

what a great idea! I think it looks lovely as a tea length dress too. x

Looks great!

I'm planning to do the same, either cut it into a cocktail dress, shorten it and dye it black or just dye it and keep it as an evening dress.

Great idea! It looks beautiful in all of it's iterations!

 

[mary poppins]

Great multi-use of your dress! What is an AHR that you referred to?

 

[mrswahs]

Thanks everyone!

AHR: At-Home-Reception

We had a destination wedding and also a party back home for those who couldn't make it

I am loving that your beautiful dress could be shortened and look so amazing as a cocktail dress!

i love it shortened! Looks great- If I could pull it off with my dress I would consider it-

it is a great dress. And i think the floor length dress is much more beautiful than knee length even though they are the same in other aspects.
