{"id":513,"count":8,"description":"A detachable wedding skirt goes over the dress for the ceremony and comes off for the evening. A detachable train does the same at the back. The idea is always the same: two looks, one dress, one budget.\n<h2>How it attaches<\/h2>\nA detachable skirt fastens at the waist, over the dress, with a belt or hooks hidden in the seam. A detachable train attaches higher, at the waist or the shoulders depending on the design. Either way, you should be able to take it off in a few seconds, on your own or with a little help: if it means undoing the dress, it's missed the point.\n<h2>Tulle or chiffon?<\/h2>\nTulle adds volume without weight and creates the most striking contrast between the two looks: choose it if you want the change to be noticed. Chiffon stays fluid and adds length without width; it suits dresses that are already full, extending them rather than competing with them.\n<h2>Dresses designed for two looks<\/h2>\nSome of our dresses include the detachable skirt from the design stage, with a built-in fastening and a lining made for both versions: our <a href=\"\/en\/wedding-dresses\/2-in-1-convertible\/\">2-in-1 convertible wedding dresses<\/a>. A skirt can still be added to a dress that wasn't designed for it, but a fitting is essential to check the waistband sits in the right place.\n<h2>From the registry office to the celebration<\/h2>\nThis is the most common use. A <a href=\"\/en\/wedding-dresses\/short\/\">short<\/a> or straight dress is perfect for the <a href=\"\/en\/wedding-dresses\/civil-wedding\/\">registry office<\/a>; add a long tulle skirt over the same dress and it becomes a ceremony look. Two events, one dress to buy.\n<h2>Where to try these designs<\/h2>\nOur detachable skirts and trains are available from the partner boutiques that stock our collections, by appointment. Try them on with the dress you have in mind: it's the only way to check how they sit at the waist. <a href=\"\/en\/bridal-shops\/\">Find a stockist near you<\/a>.","link":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/bridal-accessories\/detachable-skirts-trains\/","name":"Detachable skirts &amp; trains","slug":"detachable-skirts-trains","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":507,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/507"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
