Butter by Nadia convertible gowns

I have been seeing Butter by Nadia convertible dresses and gowns all over wedding websites and television shows lately. These dresses allow you to move the straps around and tie them in dozens of combinations to completely customize the look. I think it's a great idea to offer your bridesmaids a dress they can modify for their own style and comfort, but wonder how many women would really ever wear one again. Imagine if you were asked as a bridesmaid to buy one of these dresses (in the style featured below) in a turquoise or teal color. Would you wear it again? Or would you resent having to buy a $250+ dress that you would only wear once? Let me know what you think.

Find this dress and others in the collection here.

  1. these are really cute! my bridesmaids bought their own dresses and I was afraid they wouldn't want to spend that much so I got them something less expensive. I love the idea though. I honestly can't possibly understand why they cost that much though!! They are fabulous...
