Recycling Bridal Outfits!

Lifestyle Wedding, Fashion & Beauty
1

Ideas, please ladies! I would love to see how would you create a whole new outfit using pieces from your wedding attire. Want to re-wear my outfit but not as a lehnga.

This is not her bridal outfit but it could be a good way to flaunt that intricate dupatta with a longer shirt surely. Not a fan of that short top, though. Like the dupatta.

What do you think?

Re: Recycling Bridal Outfits!

Though i agree with the concept of recycling a bridal dress, tanisha up there looks absolutely ridiculous.

IF somone really wants to make multiple uses of hteir wedding dress, I’d advise them to get a not so heavy duputta and a longer shirt. that way, they can make a plain outfit for the duputta, and a seperate pair of trousers for the shirt.

I have an idea of making a saree out of my duputta, or at least making a saree for my blouse (its pretty short and plain except for kaam on teh sleeves). Now its just finding a good darzi to do it. :bummer:
I dont think i will get any use out of my lengha because its so heavy.

I've never heard of this idea... I know my mom still has her lehnga, but when would you wear it again? I mean, it has memories and I wouldn't want to give it away...... What do you guys suggest?

totally agree it is something related to your memories ...i wont change the lehenga :)

i like to keep my clothes that have special memories so same wl go for my wedding dress. And def no such experiments with it though i think its a good idea to be smart abt it when u r getting the dress made i.e dont go for a very short shirt. i think we can always reuse the longer shirt with a new shalwar n even use the same duppata if its someone close's wedding or something. so yah.

Re: Recycling Bridal Outfits!

if you have a longer top....then get plain pants or plain sharara or the faliry pants

but if you have a short top...then get a plain sari with some stones on the whole sarii and have ur top as the blouse?
ur not changing anything... right

i would defn do that

Re: Recycling Bridal Outfits!

i have a problem with even the idea of twisting my wedding dress. when i see threads in the bazaar section of women selling their wedding dress, at first i think .. well ... smart ... but the next moment i find myself tying a stronger, bigger rope around my wedding dress!
MINE, MINE, MINE! (elmyra jessia duff style!)

too much emotional attachment, and memories ... i want to show my kids my wedding dress man!

dont sell it man !!!!
NOOOOO

Re: Recycling Bridal Outfits!

With longer shirts in vogue, I think it is pretty easy to re-wear expensive outfits rather than keeping them in storage.

I know right? Hehehe, I get very, very possesive of my things and don’t like to give them away, especially if it’s something that meaningful! I sorta like the idea of a short kurta turned into a sari, but really, all these ideas would work since fashions come back every decade or so…I think my mom might wear her valima dress or baraatdress at my wedding… :smack:

that would be so sweet :slight_smile:

Re: Recycling Bridal Outfits!

why not frame the dupatta so it becomes a piece of art in your home?

Re: Recycling Bridal Outfits!

You have to have a huge room where the long framed dupatta would hang or can you frame it folded expertly?

Re: Recycling Bridal Outfits!

having a bridal with a long shirt means you can make a churidaar to go with it or a simple lehnga to go underneath instead of a gharara.
