Two silhouettes in one design
A detachable overskirt sits over the base gown and changes the skirt outline. It is one kind of convertible wedding dress: the added layer may widen the sides, extend the train or do both. After removal, the original skirt becomes the visible silhouette.
From narrow to full
Alegra begins as a clean, close sheath and gains broad pleats and a cathedral train through its detachable overskirt. Bernarda places a smooth satin layer over an embroidered lace column while leaving the lace visible at the front. The first emphasizes a strong shift in proportion; the second sets a smooth outer surface against patterned texture.
The waist attachment and rear view determine how complete each configuration feels. Compare the base gown and full arrangement at a fitting; a long overskirt may also change how the train is handled later in the day.
