Combining two dresses by two designers?!

Amelia, on June 12, 2018 at 4:04 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

Has anyone ever had an unaffiliated seamstress combine two different designer's top and bottom? I fell in love with a DB skirt but I really did not like the top of the dress on me. However it was very inexpensive so I was thinking of buying a top from Watters or BHLDN and have the top removed?

Any suggestions/advice/experience?

This is the stock photo-- also if anyone knows of any dress similar (not really concerned about price at the moment!)Combining two dresses by two designers?! 1

    I would make sure the seamstress is well reviewed and experienced, if they are then go for it! I'm sure she would give advice on what tops would work too.

    If you aren’t worried about the price I would maybe consider going to some boutiques and seeing their options. That bottom is a pretty popular style so they may have a lot of options with different tops you might fall in love with!

    besides that I don’t see why an unaffiliated seamstress wouldn’t make a hybrid type dress for you! It might take some time but these people seem to work magic in what they do!

    I follow a someone on IG who did this... here is her caption "Wedding dress story! So I went to @mariegabrielcouturebridal and fell in love with the top of one dress and the bottom of another. Young is a miracle worker and combined the two dresses giving me my dream dress as the end result- perfect for our location ✨ I didn't want a form fitting dress due to the amount of attention my body gets when I do wear form fitting clothing. I wanted the focus to be on US and our marriage, not my rear end 😂 The top is by @misshayleypaige and the bottom is @watterswtoo ☁️ I don't have any good iPhone photos of my dress/only me so this will have to do until we get our professional ones back! Thank you all so much for the overwhelming amount of love/well wishes/blessings you've sent our way! 🍾💛💞 #dreamsdocometrue#kaydnwedding"

    I am doing a combination of three dresses but found someone who can just make that exact dress like i want and believe it or not she is not expensive i would look into someone that make dresses to see if they can simply make your dream dress and maybe even had a few special touches of your own good luck im sure you will look beautiful
