Abstract
A reversible bridesmaid dress, evening gown or evening dress with a hem facing that allows the dress to have one color or pattern on one side and another color or pattern on the other side. When the dress is flipped inside out, it has a completely different appearance than on the other side. The reversible dress can come in a variety of different shapes, types and sizes. The long dresses can bubble up to short ones, and dresses of different colors and lengths may be created from a single reversible dress.
