We've been fans of the Twobirds bridesmaid dress—the original convertible bridesmaid dress—since the brand launched. And now, with the introduction of the a new tulle fabrication, we're officially in love. I mean, who doesn't want to twirl around the dance floor in an ultra-flattering tulle ball gown?
We'll tell you who does: The 14 Glamour staffers who volunteered to model the dress in our offices earlier this week. Sure, we prompted them to twist and twirl—but we promise, all of them had fun. (Some had so much fun that they let us re-wrap them!) The dress appears in five different colors below, but it's all the exact same one-size-fits-all bridesmaid dress, style-wise, wrapped 17 different ways. Check out all the pretty:
Ali Schwartz, creme, knotted tank wrap.
Anna Moeslein, petal, buckle-waist wrap.
Caroline Solomon, clementine, strapless wrap.
Caroline Solomon, creme, Grecian cross-back wrap.
Christina Draper, creme, one-shoulder flat-back wrap.
Emily Kemp, lilac, Grecian twist middle-back wrap.
Jennifer Lance, cloud, halter-bow wrap.
Jennifer Mulrow, lilac, cap-sleeve tank wrap.
Kate Friedman, lilac Grecian twist wrap.
Kate Friedman, lilac, buckle-waist wrap.
Katie Friedman, petal, Grecian with tuxedo wrap.
Lindsay Schallon, dove, cap-sleeve shoulder wrap with bandeau.
Mabel Martinez, petal, halter wrap.
Mabel Martinez, petal, Grecian twist backless wrap.
Maggie Burch, cloud, one-shoulder twist wrap with bandeau.
Sarah Evans, petal, Grecian twist middle-back wrap.
Victoria Ravest, clementine cap-sleeve open back wrap.
Two of our models, Lindsey and Maggie, wore the optional bandeau under the dress. The other 12 were comfortable going braless, and none suffered wardrobe malfunctions.
The full-length dress retails for $340. There's also a short version for $310. Of course that's more expensive than what you'd pay for a mass-market dress, but if you (and your bridesmaids, obviously) love this dress, it might just be worth it. And if you feel bad asking your bridesmaids to splurge, we're a big fan of brides who pay for at least a portion of their friends' bridesmaid dresses.
Also, check out Christina's pic and Caroline's second one. The creme color would be lovely for a bride—and $340 is more than reasonable for a wedding dress.
