Um, how cool is this?! 😲
served as the entire basis for what I thought wedding dress shopping would be like. The process would be fun and glamorous, a day to celebrate with your besties by your side. Then came the day that I, as a bridesmaid, tagged along with the bride to shop. I realized that while there were moments ofchampagne, and even tears, the actual choosing of the gown was both emotionally exhausting and methodical.
Is this too much cleavage for a church? Will the dress hide a food belly? What will my mother-in-law think? Oh, you like the bust of this gown and the train of another, but the styles can't be combined into one dress? Great.encountered with one of her customers that sparked a brilliant beyond brilliant idea: reversible wedding gowns., and she was almost in tears because she couldn't decide between a lace dress or a plain dress," Peng recalls.
Peng and her team Googled bridal dresses that could be reversed and came up empty. The trickiest part, for them, was figuring out how to conceal the zipper on both sides of the dress."We couldn't find reversible zippers for gowns, only for sleeping bags," she says."So we ended up adding a double reversible zipper to one side of her dress, so when she flipped the dress for the reception, the [zipper still stayed in place and was hidden].
Needless to say, the bride was overjoyed. And Peng had the proof of concept for a new line of reversible wedding dresses. There are currently seven styles available, ranging from strapless ball gowns to slips with plunging backs. For fabric, Peng reveals she uses mostly a breathable silk blend—sourced locally in New Zealand—so brides can wear the dress all day and not have to worry about it creasing with movement. Any lace incorporated is from France.
In addition, the designer and her team engineered their own under-layer for the reversible dresses, to avoid showing off any dirty spots when the dress is flipped."You have to tuck the [clean] piece underneath and tie it up. Then, when you flip the gown the other way, you can release that clean layer and tuck up the dirty piece." Genius.
