Wedding Dresses – Achieve Two Looks in One with an Overskirt

Looking for a way to achieve two stunning looks without buying a second wedding dress? Detachable overskirts are the answer! Whether you dream of a dramatic entrance or a lightweight gown to dance the night away, an overskirt transforms your bridal style effortlessly.

At Accapella Bridal, we’ve helped brides create their dream wedding looks using custom detachable overskirts. Connie, owner of Accapella Bridal and an expert seamstress with over 35 years of experience, works with brides to design overskirts that perfectly match or contrast with their wedding gowns. A beautiful example? We brought a bride’s vision to life by customizing a detachable overskirt for her Martina Liana 1510, creating two unique looks in one dress!

Why Choose an Overskirt?

✨ Two Looks in OneAdd a detachable overskirt for your ceremony and remove it for the reception—no need to buy a second dress.

✨ Budget-FriendlyAchieve the glamour of two different bridal styles with one purchase.

✨ PracticalStart the day with a show-stopping, princess-worthy ball gown, then remove the overskirt for a sleek, lightweight gown that's perfect for dancing.

Design Options for Overskirts

• Match your dress by using the same lace or fabric (like our Martina Liana and Pollardi brides!).
• Contrast your look with fabrics like satin, tulle, or organza.
• Choose from different styles:
• Full-cut skirts for dramatic volume
• Overskirts starting from the side seams for a modern silhouette
• Dramatic back skirts, paired with oversized bows and long tails—completely removable!

There are so many ways to customize your overskirt—let your creativity (and ours!) run wild.

What Dresses Work Best with Overskirts?

• Sheath and column dresses: Pair beautifully with a full overskirt for maximum transformation.
• Mermaid and trumpet dresses: Look amazing with side overskirts that enhance their silhouette.
