Earlier today adventure brides across the country were preparing to climb to the highest peak to get their hands on a Kathmandu all weather "Adapt Wedding Dress", designed by Tanya Carlson.
Using seven metres of GORE-TEX fabric - usually used for outdoor wet weather gear - to create a signature Carlson silhouette, the merino-lined dress boasts several features to withstand tough conditions and keep up with the most adventurous of brides.
The train transforms into a cape - to keep your hair in place against those inevitable alpine gales - and internal zips allow you to whip off the hem for a playful secondary look at your reception.
And when the party's over, the dress packs down into a tiny travel-sized backpack. Sounds like a recipe for wrinkles, right? Fear not: the robust fabric means zero crushing while crease-detailing is built into the skirt's design.
