Feeling restricted in a mermaid gown...

Personally, I want to shake my ass on my wedding day. The issue is that I love the mermaid gown style on me, but hate the thought of not being able to move from the knees up for an entire day. Ladies who are married and wore a mermaid gown, did you feel restricted the whole time, or were you able to...

Personally, I want to shake my ass on my wedding day. The issue is that I love the mermaid gown style on me, but hate the thought of not being able to move from the knees up for an entire day. Ladies who are married and wore a mermaid gown, did you feel restricted the whole time, or were you able to move freely?

    I did a mermaid gown for my college senior ball with a slit but it looked AMAZING on my ass. My reception gown is a mermaid with no slit but a little extra room around my middle so I could move. It doesn't look as amazing around my ass but I can move in it fine

    Monica: I was but she doesn't seem confident in her abilities to give me exactly what I want. If I decide to go in the ball gown direction, I'll probably get in contact with her again, but I'm still iffy

    It's not necessarily true that ball gowns don't work on petite girls. I'm 5'3 and 108 lbs and doing an A line with a petticoat so it's fuller, also tried on ball gowns that worked, they didn't all, but some did! I couldn't do fit and flare/mermaid because I have no hips, but have broader shoulders, the a line/ ball gown balanced me out. All depends on your shape!

    Yeah, after I told her I wanted to try on a few more ball gowns to make sure that what I was asking her to do was exactly what I want (like a really low back, for example), she quit responding.
