Capes & Straps![]() |
Oftentimes, extra material from your gown can be ordered to make a custom cape. |
Capes, cropped at or just below the bust, can add extra coverage and give strapless gowns the illusion of a neckline. Detachable straps are a fun way to add texture and personality to a wedding dress—perfect for a second “look.”
