One of the hottest emerging trends in bridal style, convertible dresses are a brilliant choice for those searching for a versatile gown that can be adjusted to offer two looks. What is a convertible dress, you ask? It’s a dress that has a removable element such as a detachable skirt or sleeves. This handy feature is a great way to make your wedding dress adaptable from day to night, perhaps if you're after a party-appropriate dress to switch into after saying ‘I do’. A wedding bolero or a sophisticated cape, for example, can be worn during the day and tossed off at night, when you're ready to boogie on the dancefloor. Or, if you want a big train to walk down the aisle in, but don’t want the faff of lugging it around all day, then a detachable skirt allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Convertible wedding dresses come in all shapes and sizes, with all sorts of detachable items that will instantly transform your bridal look. If you're wondering where to begin, we've rounded up some of the best options on the market that are both fabulous and functional. From removable skirts to sleeves, browse dresses with detachable elements for every style and budget below.
