Matching bridesmaids: good or bad
Nowadays, European weddings are in vogue, at which it has long been not accepted to take only one couple as witnesses. It is customary for the bride to have several bridesmaids. Of course, they will not be able to overshadow the beauty of the newlywed, but they will create a so-called "support group".
In this case, the heroine of the ball often prefers to create a certain dress code and dress her witnesses in the same outfit. The uniform style looks as effective as possible in such events.
The main thing to consider is that all the fair sex have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, even in the same style, there should be differences that emphasize individuality.
There are several advantages to this solution:
- it looks beautiful and harmonious;
- the theme of the wedding is emphasized (if any);
- none of the girlfriends will stand out too much, and therefore will not be able to "outshine" the newlywed, the main character of the evening;
- Such dresses are most often chosen and paid for by the bride herself, since the same outfits are her whim.
The disadvantages are that in the salons such models will be expensive, and therefore it is more efficient to sew all the outfits yourself. When choosing things for rent, it will be difficult to find the same cuts, styles and colors.
If the same style is selected, then you can play with the color. If the girlfriends are in the same color scheme, then the differences should be in the length or style of the transformer.
What is this beauty
It is a one-color, rarely multi-colored version that can be transformed in a short time. This is obtained by interweaving the ribbons that form the basis of the garment.
At a festive event, the girlfriends of the main character can be of the same type and at the same time differ. This is the whole trick of the transformer. If you intertwine the ribbons, then many transformers turn into more everyday dresses, which is their special charm.
Do not change your attire so that it becomes too strict. All the same, the event is festive and solemn.
History of appearance
The first cuts with changes were proposed by Lydia Sylfestri. This lady fashion designer dreamed at one time of an outfit in which it would be possible to travel on a variety of business trips. She didn't want to carry various heavy suitcases with dozens of outfits.
She decided to invent a style that would change with a few simple movements. Then she would have the opportunity to fit a business woman and a romantic nature in a small travel bag.
In the 70s of the last century, the first such dress appeared. The model was called Infinity Dress. Then, at a fashion show, reporters were shown 70 samples and in the end they were shocked by the news that they were one and the same thing.
In modern trends, there are models with more than thirty variations of changes that help turn from a business woman into a yoke, and then back without changing clothes.
The advantages of such styles in the modern wardrobe of any fashionista are obvious:
- you can travel without any suitcase with one light handbag;
- space in the closet is freed up, it is easier to make a choice when collecting for a holiday or negotiations;
- most often, wrinkle-free fabrics are used, which greatly facilitates the care of your favorite things.
This dress is easy to make yourself in just a few hours. On the same evening, he will be able to try on and amaze others.
Change options
A thing can be changed depending on the specific detail that is amenable to change.
Most popular models:
- Changes at the top. In this form, ribbons can be straps around the neck, shoulder straps, or simply criss-cross on the back. In a classic look, the harnesses are located on the shoulders, but sometimes in a festive atmosphere it looks too strict.
- Medium cut. The wide band emphasizes the waist and, if necessary, retracts completely and makes the model looser. For beauty, you can tie various knots in the front and back. Instead of knots, bows or flowers will work well if there are enough straps.
- Style with bottom transformation. Assumes the possibility of changes in the structure and length of the skirt. The bottom can be straight and austere or flowing, depending on preference.
- Sleeves. These parts of the dress are the least frequently used for changes. But original models can turn out in which the sleeve length, width, thickness and even quantity change. In the latter case, it is enough to throw the ribbon over one shoulder and you will get an outfit with one sleeve.
We offer some great options and ideas:
The peculiarity of such a thing is that it suits all women, without exception. The main thing is to choose the right transformation option and then the girlfriend on the wedding evening will emphasize and decorate the celebration.
Bright belts and different colored headbands work well for these styles.
Knee length or below
Long, floor-length cuts are ideal for a wedding dress. It is easier for them to choose shoes, since the shoes will not be visible and their color is not as important as with a skirt above the knee. Also, long options are suitable for ladies with imperfect legs.
If the figure allows, you can also wear the product above the knee. Use ribbons to create a lush look with an accentuated waist.
If the bride buys everything on her own, then it is important that she consults with her friends, since they are of different builds and there may be some individual wishes.

Stylish options for 2019:
How to wear
It is important not only to choose such a modern model correctly, but also to wear it correctly, so as not to disturb the overall harmony of the wedding evening.
Understanding how a girlfriend should look will make it possible to transform everything at any time:
- To accentuate the chest, it is enough to put two straps behind the back and tie with two straps at the waist. If a large amount of fabric is left, you can create a beautiful bow or a flower-shaped tie.
- If you make bridles on the shoulders, then the ends of the straps can be tucked around the waist or wrapped around it.
- If you wrap two straps of fabric, you will be able to bare one shoulder.
Any of the options will look appropriate and festive. The main thing is that the witnesses do not violate the general harmony.
How to decorate yourself
Despite the requirements of a single style, accessories should not coincide. Sometimes it is enough to purchase the same earrings. Shoes in shade should match the dress if it is short.
It is better to choose small bags for a transformer. The best option is a clutch.
If the bride has golden colors in the dress, then the bridesmaids will look harmoniously with bags or jewelry to match.
How to sew yourself
The step-by-step instructions will not seem complicated. You can easily and quickly sew a solemn robe on your own. First of all, you should select the necessary material.
- It is necessary to make a pattern at the first stage. This will require a large amount of paper. First, measure the required length of the bottom of the product and the waist circumference. Make a quarter skirt pattern.
- Cut and lay on the prepared fabric folded in quarters.
- Circle and cut out.
- Cut out the belt. It should be rectangular and 75 cm long by 25 cm high.
- The most important point is to make harnesses that will turn a simple style into a true transformer. To do this, it is necessary to spread the material along the entire length of the floor and then fold it in half along the length. Using pins, make two longitudinal lines at a distance of 30 cm from each other. Cut the fabric along the lines obtained and get two ready-made straps.
- All the components of the base for a chic outfit are ready. Now you can sew the product itself.
- You need to unfold the skirt.
- Take the harnesses and overlap each other at a distance of 10 cm.
- Put on the bottom of the blank and attach with pins.
- Fold the belt in half with pins and attach it down with straps.
- Sew the belt to get the waist circumference.
Then you need to put on the resulting product and fix the harnesses correctly, according to the style.
There is also a second step-by-step option for making a transformer on your own, along with a top. This is a slightly different model:
- In the pattern, instead of a belt, you need to make a top. It will be equal in length to the belt, but in width - 50 cm.
- Attach the straps similar to the previous ones with pins.
- Fold the fabric for the top in half in width and attach around the waist downwards.
Then everything is as usual - it is necessary to make the winding correctly so that it emphasizes all the advantages of the witness and hides her shortcomings.
A wedding is not just a celebration - it is the main event in life. Every newlywed wants everything to go perfect. For this, weddings are created in the same style, so that everything is rehearsed and prepared.
Witness-girlfriends look especially impressive at such a celebration of love and family, if they are dressed in things with a single style.
In the new season, the main trend of such outfits is the transformer dress, which can be long, short, lush, strict. It all depends on the secrets of the drapery.
