Dress Change

Nooo! This is the only day I will be wearing my dress and I want to wear it until I drop (may be singing a different tune on the day but we'll see?) I too will be dancing but will have flashing lights pinned to the train so people know not to step on it

...I'm kidding [;P] But No, will not be having a dress change I'm too in love with it and I've not even seen the real thing yet! >.<

Nope - after having my dress on to see if the alterations were good, I was a bit sad, thinking 'this is the last time I get to have my dress on until my wedding day'. I will definately be wearing mine all day.

I'm debating about it. My dress is pretty heavy and by the end of the evening I will probably be exhausted from hauling it around everywhere after me. I will want to wear it as much as I can, but I will probably have a nice simple white dress on standby just in case

The advantages of a tea-length dress! I don't need to get changed. I've been to a few evening receptions where the bride has changed and felt a bit "cheated" not to see her in her posh dress xx

We have a ceilidh too, and I will be keeping on both my dress and my killer heels. Normally for a ceilidh i'd wear flat soles with a T-bar andgrippy sole, and jeans and a top, but nothing on this earth will make me take that dress off until i absolutely have to. If I can pull a Miss Haversham and wear it for ever, I just might.

We had a ceilidh reception and I didn't plan to change out of my dress. However, by 9.30 I was so hot from dancing that OH got a lift back to our house to pick up a white sundress for me to change into, and I felt much better. On my actual wedding day abroad, I kept my dress on until we went to bed, but strolling along the beach and sitting having a nice dinner isn't quite as sweaty and energetic as a ceilidh!

I'm definitely not changing although my dress is quite light. I won't want to take it off as I adore it so so much

I'm strongly considering it. a wedding dress isn't practical for a indie rock band! nope.

Haven't got anything YET but when i have spare cash, its high up there on my list! looking at a high-low design.

Hmmmm I hadn't thought about this!!! My dress is a slight fishtail... And we're having a ceilidh too!!! Might need to think about a second shorter dress... Hmmm had not budgeted for this!!! Flashes and inspiration needed!!

I was going to but the ladies of hitched convinced me otherwise!! This is the only day you'll be able to wear it!! x

Hell no! I might even sleep in it ?

For the cost of my chosen dress I'm definitely wearing it all day!! May even wear it to go shopping after the wedding to try and justify spending all that money on a dress for one day!! Haha! Can see why people would wear two though - the dress I think I'm getting is quite simple so would be fine to dance in

I WiLL be taking a second dress to the venue just in case I really feel the need to change but I'm hoping not to have to- I've never owned any get up that expensive before so I want to make the most of it lol!

I've got ebay alerts set up for any in my size!! Though I would feel guilty only wearing my proper dress for 10 hours, I honestly can't see it working for the ceilidh. Have two pairs of shoes anyway (one with a teeny tiny heel, one totally flat with ankle ribbon for dancing) so may as well have two dresses

Also seen some nice short dress samples going cheap on ebay. None my size yet but I've set an alert up for that too. Fingers crossed!!

I've been married before, and I did wear my wedding dress (reasonably big, with a small train i hitched up on a button) for a ceildh. It was fine!

WSS

I'll probably change but my dress was only 150 quid and can actually be cut down after to a less weddingy dress, so I may wear it again one day.

I have alerts on my iPhone so not sure how you do it on the website!! I just searched for 'short wedding dress sample' and told it to search title and description, then set the search to category "wedding dresses" and then chose size etc. There are a few on there right now that I've got my eye on that are fairly cheap, but by the time bidding gets going it might actually be cheaper to buy a VoH one!!!

I've been looking on preloved and sellmyweddingdress.com too but you can't search by length on there.

I'm a size 12 but we probably won't be in competition anyway as I'm very tall and am looking at tea length dresses that will most likely be knee length on me

I think like you I'll get one if I see something I REALLY love and is cheap, other than that I'll just sweat in my dress
