"One of the biggest misconceptions brides have is that when you say YES to Your Dress, the gown should fit you perfectly. Beauty most certainly comes in all shapes and sizes, but the “perfect fit” takes the work of a professional seamstress. When you select your wedding dress and the stylist takes your measurements to order your gown, it is only to find out where you fit within the designer’s sizing chart. The dress is not made to your exact personal measurements, instead it is custom ordered based on where you fall within the manufacturer's size chart."

Sofia Richie had several different dresses on her wedding day! So did Anya Taylor-Joy, Priyanka Chopra, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock! Having two or more wedding day looks has become common for celebrity brides. It may even be your dream. Does that mean you need to buy two dresses?? Spend twice as much as budgeted? Absolutely not!

With the guidance of a skilled bridal stylist, you can create two completely different looks with a single dress. A few fresh and creative accessories, can easily transform a sexy, figure hugging dress into a princess fairytale gown! All you need is to add a flowing overskirt, possibly include removable sleeves, and even a cape or cathedral veil can create a flowing ball gown type look for your vows. Then, removing these layers of accessories and adding some jewelry pieces, a sash and maybe a second pair of shoes can convert you from ceremony to a modern, evening silhouette!

An example of this type of transformation from traditional romance to sleek sheath is in the versatility of our “Pauline” gown. The sweet off the shoulder sleeves can be removed to reveal an alluring strapless design. And, the detachable full flowing skirt can be removed to showcase a fitted gown that flatters your curves.

Another favorite convertible dress is this statuesque, stretch Mikado gown featuring a beautifully sculptural detachable train. The minimalist fabric is soft and comfortable to hug you all day.

This romantic fit and flare wedding dress with a modern square neckline offers two detachable options. The lace long sleeves and the boho inspired train are removable.

Do you want to have twice as much fun with your wedding day dress? Consider wearing your simple single layer version for your “first look” with your fiance. Then, save your full “vow ensemble with accessories” for the walk down the aisle. Let us know how we can help create the gown of your dreams.

Cheers to newlyweds Alicia + Jeffrey!
The bride chose a gorgeously updated mermaid gown featuring a modern curved neckline, an open, illusion back, sparkling sequin Chantilly lace along with the signature double-sculpted train. It is truly a dream dress created by ÉLYSÉE.

“I visited Kathryn’s accompanying my sister in law on her wedding dress search. I’d already purchased a wedding dress, knowing that Sibylla by Elysee was my dream dress, but I’d put it out of my mind, thinking it was out of budget. Sibylla was on a mannequin at Kathryn’s during my visit and I instantly fell in love and could not stop staring at it. My mom insisted I return to try the dress on and it was a done deal. Tammy was my stylist and she was wonderful, and being a personal friend of my moms, I felt very at ease. I added the glitter tulle bows to my straps and Sherry collaborated with me the whole way through. I’d also purchased my prom dress from Kathryns about 11 years earlier so it all felt very full circle! Since high school I’ve moved to Chicago where there are many bridal shops, but coming back to purchase my wedding dress at the same place I purchased my prom dress so long ago felt like fate,” ~ Real Bride Alicia
