The dissolving wedding dresses actually do dissolve in water! The dissolving wedding dresses contain biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol, which allows the dress to transform into 5 different garments; not dissolving completely but definitely changing from a wedding dress you would rather forget, to multiple completely new clothing choices! The dissolving wedding dresses are a part of a conference to change the way people think about wedding dresses, and throwaway fashion in particular. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Architectural Bridal Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anne-bowen-bridal-gown.md) - [Cushy Nuptials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Lee-Jin-gyu.md) - [Bridal Couture Previews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/here-comes-the-bride-sneak-peek-spring-2009-wedding-dresses.md) - [Edible Nuptial Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-wedding-dress.md) - [Bathroom Bridal Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toilet-paper-wedding-dress.md) - [Feather Wedding Dress Knock-Offs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-mcqueen-feather-wedding-dress.md) - [Blue Bridal Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bridal-gowns-a-collection-of-blue-wedding-dresses.md) - [Bouquet Bedhead Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/douglas-hannant-bridal-spring-2011.md)
