A Lifetime Dress
Transformable Bridalwear with Button Masala
A modular bridal dress that adapts to the wearer's needs and transforms into new garments after the wedding. Designed for brides, it solves the problem of single-use clothing and promotes circular fashion. It is sustainable because the modular, no-seam design keeps high-quality fabrics intact for full reuse (zero-waste) and extends the garment's life cycle. Future versions will use recycled and recyclable buttons and loops.
