Ballgown dress!?? Help!

I had a ball gown with a cathedral train and loved it. Honestly, unless you want to spend the whole night running up and down stairs or through muddy fields, it won't be an issue.

I absolutely love your dress, it's gorgeous. This was my dress, for comparison. I did not have a bustle but I did have a loop which helped me for the outdoor photoshoot.

Wow that dress is gorgeous! If you love it I d get it and have it bustled for the reception. If you are getting any white dresses for other bridal events (shower, engagement photos, etc) maybe bring one of those with you just in case you get uncomfortable later in the night. Lulu's also has pretty fun and affordable little white dress options if you decide to go that route. Good luck!

I had a large ball gown and the only tiny thing that was a little inconvenient was sitting at the table bc the skirt spread out around my chair a lot. Not really even a big deal, nothing else was an issue!

The dress looks wonderful. Look at this as your only opportunity to wear such a gown. If you can enjoy it for the night on that basis, it will work out fine. If you like dancing a lot, that still can work well with the bustle.

Beautiful dress! I also had a ball gown with long train. I had NO issues with it, after the ceremony and photos I had it bustled up.
