Two Birds, One dress?

TwoBirds Bridesmaid, http://www.twobirdsbridesmaid.com/, is apparently the newest "It" thing in bridesmaid fashion. It's a relatively simple concept, but has wide reaching effects -- essentially, it's one dress (literally, as the dress is one size fits all) that can be tied a multitude of ways (at least 10 according to the website). Every major wedding magazine has written about them, all the blogs have covered it, and even the Today Show featured it on their wedding segment.

So, what exactly is a "twobirds bridesmaid" dress? It's a relatively simple dress made of a jersey spandex blend. It comes in 2 lengths, calf length with butterfly hem ($270) and floor length ($290). And they come in 13 different colors, each with matching groomsmen ties available. The idea behind the dress is found in the top of the dress, which consists of two long lengths of fabric that can be arranged and tied in a number of different styles. Each girl can choose the style that best suits them.



It's an interesting concept, but I'm curious as to how it "works" in real life. I can't imagine tying it is the easiest thing in the world (although there are instructions on their website). Plus, I've heard rumors that "less than busty" gals may have some trouble with it. And, it seems rather pricey considering the fabric. However, it is a way to give the girls options without worrying about sizing and matching colors. Plus, the fabric is very light and travels well, which is necessary considering most of bridesmaids are traveling from out of state.




Overall, it's worth a trip to the TwoBirds Bridesmaid salon to check it out. My MOH and I will be stopping by on Monday evening, and I'll give the full report then. Until then, what are your thoughts? Anyone seen this dress in action?
