While some women envision themselves in a poufy, princess-worthy gown [1] on their wedding day, others hope for something that's a bit more casual. A simple white dress or jumpsuit [2] would suit them just fine. The only problem? The options — especially budget-friendly ones — are slim.
Designer Elizabeth Pape is hoping to change that, designing laid-back and affordable styles that you can — wait for it — throw in the wash after wearing. She revealed to Fashionista [3] that she was inspired by her own wedding dress dilemma and that her pieces are meant to be worn long after the day is through: "We worked really hard to make it into something that can be beautiful and feel like the right fit for your wedding day but can also be worn afterwards or for a few different occasions during your wedding."
