Hey girls!!
So I'm kinda freaking out and would love your thoughts/ideas! I had originally thought that I wanted a 2nd dress for my reception. I've always thought it was a cute idea, but after the reality of buying my first dress, I loved it so much, plus I couldnt' justify spending that kind of money on a dress to wear for only 2 hours, so I just forgot about it. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I'm at my first dress fitting and my seamstress asks if I have a 2nd dress. I tell her "no", and she says, "I'd recommend that you get one. This is a lot of dress and the last thing you want to do is have your husband and others stepping on it all night". (She is very blunt). The thing is, it kinda is a lot of dress. It is mermaid style, and then at the bottom, flares out into toole, so the bottom is a little poofy, even after being bustled. Plus, my fiance and I definitely love to get down on the dance floor! We were at a wedding this weekend and because of this, I was very aware of the close quarters on the dance floor. One of the BM's who was wearing a long dress had someone step on her dress and it ripped, and that wasn't even a puffy dress! But then again, the bride didn't change and she didn't seem to have a problem, although she had a very form fitting, simple fit & flare. I'm freaking out because A., with only a few weeks left, searching for another dress is the LAST thing on my mind, and B., I didn't budget for it since I thought I would no longer be getting one. What do you guys think? Should I suck it up and just buy something? Maybe online? For all you girls out there with bigger, puffier types of dresses, are you changing?
HELP!!!
