On our blog today we have selected a dress perfect for brides who are planning a Spring or Summer wedding. We all know how important it is to find the perfect one and to find one which is versatile for yourself, the bride, and for your few or many bridesmaids.

Our selection is 'twobirds', and I have personally worked with selling the 'twobirds' collection to many brides and bridesmaids over the past few years and it really is a spectacular dress that just keeps on giving. The 'twobirds' family has grown fast and soon became a huge favourite designer with our brides. It is just one dress, with over fifteen ways to wrap! If you are still intrigued keep on reading, the different styles which can be created will not disappoint.

The dresses are made in London, and also have flagships in New York, Sydney, Toronto and are in select stockists around the world so there will be one near you!

'twobirds' offer a wide variety of colours and they come in short or ball gown length. The one shown in the picture (left) is one I have chosen from the 2016 collection of new colours. This one is Clementine Peach Tulle, which is a perfect choice if you are looking for a neutral shade, and great for a fresh looking summer colour.

The fabric is made of soft tulle which is semi-transparent, and is layered over the jersey which provides a matte finish complementing both materials well. It is also very soft on the skin and is stretchy making it a comfortable dress. It falls naturally on our body shape, creating a relaxed flow.

This dress offers so many ways to wrap for the bride and bridesmaids, whether you prefer strapless, twists, straight or sleeves, this dress offers it all.

Bandeaus are also available with the dresses as extra support and coverage around the bust area (as shown on the right). This is like a 'boob tube' top and can be ordered as an extra, matching or contrasting the selected dress.

The dress is available in all the colours you can think of, from Ivory to pastel and more vibrant colours. This dress needs no alterations and comes in two sizes so it couldn't be easier, plus sizes are also available. This dress is one which can be worn again and again and just keeps on giving with a different style every time!

The dress is available in classic which is the jersey on its own (as shown on the left), this style has more of a glossy finish.

The tulle has more of a matted finish as shown on our selected dress today, Clementine Peach.

The rosette chiffon offers cute rosettes (right) as a feature along the bottom of the skirt or on the whole of the skirt.

These dresses suit all shapes and sizes, and is even perfect for pregnant ladies. This really is a perfect dress, creating your way of wearing it is one we all dream of. It ensures that you will always be comfortable, as areas we prefer covered can covered within the wrap.

Fifteen ways to wrap- Below are a few style tips when choosing how to wrap your dress

1. STRAPLESS- This style suits most women from the smaller to medium busts who love to show off their shape, as the neckline exposes the neck and arms area. However this doesn't rule out the petite lady as this style will give you a longer silhouette, accentuating the neck area.

2. KNOTTED TANK- This type of style creates a cup for the bust area providing support, it also makes the shoulders appear wider making this suitable for petite ladies who want to create more shape.

3. KNOTTED CAP SLEEVE- Just like the knotted tank, but this one provides more coverage if you wish to cover on your arms. This style will suit the larger ladies.

4. CAP SLEEVE TANK- Suiting most shapes this style will provide extra coverage for the arms.

5. CAP SLEEVE SHOULDER- The same as the cap sleeve tank.

6. GRECIAN TWIST CROSS BACK- This style suits the smaller ladies with the straps having been twisted exposing most of the back area.

7. GRECIAN TWIST MIDDLE BACK- The same applies as the Grecian twist cross back.

8. GRECIAN TWIST BACKLESS- This would be similar to the Grecian twist cross back.

9. BUCKLEWAIST- This way of wrapping suits the larger ladies as the bucklewaist creates a feature point and draws the waistline in providing an A-Line shape and divide between the top and skirt.

10. HALTER BOW- Perfect for women with tall or broad shoulders, as it will draw the eye to the center of the body. This shape adds curves and is incredibly flattering and suits most body shapes. The straps can be either thin or thick which will create different effects. Petite ladies will suit the thinner straps, perfect for showing off your shape and the larger straps will help to add more curves. For the larger ladies, the thinner strap is most suitable as this is softer in comparison to the thicker strap which will appear heavy and add more volume. This unfortunately will make areas appear wider than what they are.

11. HALTER- This would be similar to the halter bow.

12. ONE SHOULDER TWIST- The neckline for this wrap complements the broader ladies as it will make the shoulder area appear smaller and closer together. For the more petite ladies it will create volume to the chest area, adding more shape and providing support. However, for the larger busted ladies this style can make the bust area appear bigger than what is it, and shortens the neck, making this style more suitable for ladies with longer necks to ensure that the neckline is accentuated and not made to appear smaller than what it is, as this will only make the face appear rounder.

13. ONE SHOULDER FLAT BACK- This would be just like the one shoulder twist.

14. FRONT NECK TWIST- The same applies as the one shoulder twist.

15. FULL COVERAGE- This style is down to personal preference however be aware if you are petite that this style doesn't drown you as with this wrap the dress is at its biggest. It will suit the larger lady as the A-Line will create the divide to ensure that the look isn't too heavy on our shape.
