Heaven sent. Lifesaver. These are two words that best describe a multiway dress. Others call it a convertible dress or infinity dress. Stressed brides have been benefitting from a convertible dress, too. Brides found it easier to create a beautiful and unified look for their bridesmaids.
Bridesmaids benefit the most from an infinity dress during a wedding.
- It is available anytime and anywhere. A few clicks online can lead you to addresses of shops offering it.
- It is affordable. A bridesmaid has a long list of to-buys during a wedding. So, anything that can help her save a little cash is a big check.
- It is flexible, the best advantage of an infinity dress. No matter your size, colour, and preference, you can style it the way you want. You do not need to fear if you get pregnant along the way or are pregnant in the first place. The fabric stretches well and hugs the right parts of your body.
We rounded up the basics of a multiway dress for you.
How Do You Wear a Multiway Bridesmaid Dress?
The list of how to style a multiway bridesmaid dress can be as long as a whole month's worth of grocery list. This can be overwhelming. But this simply means that there is a style for every girl out there.
Cap Sleeves

- Step into the dress.

Halter

How To Pick an Infinity Gown Colour to Keep Everyone Happy?
The belief in wearing the same dress colour in the same style dates back to Roman times. But there is more appreciation for body positivity, uniqueness, and individuality today. Although the essential role is to complement the bride’s wedding dress, bridesmaid dress etiquette has changed.
Different Styles in The Same Colour
In newer weddings, you see bridesmaids wearing the same colour but different dress styles. This trend is to accommodate different shapes and sizes.
- Hourglass Shaped
Hourglass-shaped bodies will look even better with sleeveless and halter neck styles. They show off your well-toned arms and narrow shoulders.
- Apple Shaped
An apple-shaped bridesmaid can enjoy a V-neck or a plunging neckline. They make the body appear less round.
- Pear Shaped
Strapless boob-tube and knotted tank top styles give volume to your bust area. They also make you appear sexier and curvier.
- Straight Shaped
One-shoulder or Grecian twist will do the extra flare for you.
There are two safe ways to tackle the topic of dress colour. One is to take out the handy colour wheel. The other is to consider the skin's undertone.
The Same Colour Scheme
- Choose peach, yellow, and golden hues if all the bridesmaids have a warm undertone.
- Pink and blush hues will work well with cool undertones.
- Play with any colour if the bridesmaids have a neutral undertone.
Contrasting Colours
You can still achieve a cohesive bridal party look even with different undertones. Use two different colours with varying amounts of tint and shade.
