Can i Dance in this?

You can add a loop to the train or bustle the dress to keep it out from your and other's feet. That should allow you to do some basic dancing in a narrow sense. Certainly the dress should first be shortened based on the shoes you will wear for the ceremony and then for dancing.

Also, check that you can sit down okay when wearing it and try a little bit dancing and bending to make sure you will be okay your wedding day.

If you want to do regular social dancing, you might want something to change into later during the reception -- sort of transitioning from formal wedding reception into party mode.

It depends on what type and how much dancing you’re wanting to do! You should talk to whoever’s doing your alterations about your concerns. They can show you how the dress would look bustled, and you can see if that or a wrist loop to hold the skirt would be enough for you to feel comfortable.

There is no way to know based on a picture. Did you dance in the dress (and sit, bend, walk, etc) in the store while trying it on? That is the only way to find out if it’s possible or not.


Bustling is your only option. If you leave the train down, you and guests will step on and trip over it. People don’t realize that while the wrist loops look awesome in the movies, the opposite happens in real life. The train is heavy and the loops cut off your circulation if they don’t cause pain/tiredness in your arm first. As an example, fill your purse with 25-30+ lbs and hold the straps on your wrist for 4 hours without ever setting it down. Many people can’t do it without discomfort after 5 minutes.

The dress is so pretty and it looks amazing on you! This is definitely YOUR dress!!
As far as dancing, talk to your seamstress- they should be able to provide options for bustles. I would also highly suggest bringing a reception dress as an option to change into in case you need it. It doesn’t need to be anything expensive or even bridal. Just a cute, comfortable dress that you can dance in. And I’d also suggest bringing comfortable shoes (flats or even sneakers). You may not end up needing them, but it’s always better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them.

OMG that dress is everything on you!! Amazing! I'm sure you can bustle the train up to dance. Talk to a seamstress. Congrats on finding it!

They can bustle the dress in the back so you can button the dress so the train isn't dragging
