Convertible dresses? Tailors who can convert a wedding gown

My fiance and I do Swing Dance and are hoping to have a two-part 1st dance that begins with a formal waltz and then turns into a swing dance where perhaps we do a few fun lifts. Wondering if anyone has tried to turn a premade wedding dress into a convertible one where the formal skirt comes off to reveal shorter one underneath. Any help with this would be appreciated.

    Dangerous mathematicians on Atlantic Avenue is a custom design studio, and they showed me some custom wedding dresses like what you're describing, and the prices were reasonable.  For one dress the designer converted someone's grandmother's slip into a wedding dress. 

    The designer there does free consultations if you want to discuss it.  Her email is
