World’s First All-Weather, All-Terrain Designer Wedding Dress Released

STORY BY Patrick 1st April 2019

The world’s first all-weather, all-terrain designer wedding dress that packs down to a travel-size backpack has been released by leading outdoor apparel company Kathmandu.

Brides now have the chance to choose from the world’s most remote locations for their big day.

The Adapt Wedding Dress is the result of a collaboration between Kathmandu, New Zealand fashion designer Tanya Carlson and GORE-TEX fabric, which is used extensively in the Kathmandu clothing range

The one-of-a-kind gown features:

– Design engineered with GORE-TEX® product, enabling the dress to be waterproof yet functional

– A train that transforms into a cape with hood (take that, unexpected heavy rainfall)

– A Pack&GO solution, allowing the dress to cleverly pack down into a travel-size bag

– Large storage pockets inside the dress also allow the bride to carry flowers, first-aid kits or bottles of water

 – Internal zips that transform the length of the dress, taking the bride from alter to first waltz with ease and style

The dress uses seven metres of GORE-TEX fabric cut and draped in a continuous line to create a classic Carlson silhouette with minimal seams. Inside, the gown is lined in fine blue merino wool.

It’s a dress that makes any location, a perfect wedding location.
