Understanding a Wedding Dress Overskirt
What is an Overskirt?
A bridal overskirt is a versatile fashion addition to a wedding dress! This elegant garment consists of a detachable layer of fabric allowing brides to customize their gown’s silhouette or enhance its volume.
An overskirt wedding dress allows brides to effortlessly and effectively transition from one look to another. It provides brides with the possibility of creating a different fashion vibe for the ceremony, a specific part of the event or the reception.
How Do You Wear an Overskirt?
A bridal overskirt is meant to be worn with your wedding dress. It can be attached and detached using hooks, buttons or a waistband. This allows the bride to easily switch up their look without needing to change into an entirely different dress.
What Type of Wedding Dresses Pair Well with an Overskirt?
A wedding gown overskirt comes in a variety of styles. From sheer tulle to luxurious lace, overskirts can be worn over a fitted gown or a flowing silhouette. The possibilities are endless — it all depends on the bride’s preferences and style!Â
Are the Fabric and Embellishments the Same as the Wedding Dress?
While they can be, they don’t have to be. With our overskirt collection, the fabric and embellishments are thoughtfully selected to complement our wedding gowns. They can also be mixed and matched for a one-of-a-kind look.Â
This mix-and-match feature allows for contrast in material and texture, elevating the design of the bridal ensemble. It’s about creating depth and visual interest to your overall vision with a wedding gown overskirt.
