Has anyone bought the convertible bridesmaid dresses from Dessy or Twobirds?

Have come across these dresses and they might be the answer to my dilemna of getting dresses to suit my 4 bridesmaids.

Has anyone bought these or similar dresses for their bridesmaids? Are they very heavy to wear as we are having a Greek Island wedding? I love the fact that they could have a different dress for the ceremony and for the reception if they wanted to, and the different styles might make them more rewearable after the wedding

    A convertible dress is really easy to make and so I would say they are really expensive for what they are. If you like the style I would say it would be worthwhile finding a dressmaker and asking how much they would charge to make you one. I made a convertible dress for myself and I'm only a novice at dressmaking. It didn't take me very long so I'm sure a professional dressmaker could whip one up within a couple of hours.

    Yes!! I wore one for my sister's wedding last weekend! I can totally recommend it. Although the day wasnt that hot, the hotel was and a lot of people (including all the boys in their suits) were getting quite uncomfortable- I was so comfy and cool all day. I loved loved loved it!

    I cant remember where my sis got them from (I'll find out when shes back from honeymoon) but I think she only paid £50 for them. I think wherever it was had less colour choices than Dessy etc. We wore black and if I do say so myself the effect was very classy.
