Reception wardrobe change?

Colleen , on June 21, 2019 at 12:33 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
Hey everyone! Do any of you plan on changing into a more comfortable dress for dancing at some point during your reception?
Sadly, I had a horrible alterations experience and I do not feel confident in my dress whatsoever. It is not comfortable and doesn’t fit me right. I’m going to be yanking it up all night. I’m thinking of trying to wear it as long as I can and then changing into a party dress when the real party starts! Honestly the back up dress I have makes me feel way more beautiful and confident than my 1200 dollar wedding dress Smiley sad
Send me pics of your wardrobe change if you have one!

    I won't. I'm excited to wear my dress the whole night. Do you think dress tape would help? Or going into a better reviewed seamstress today/tomorrow and seeing if they can rush anything?

    I’m gonna do my best to make it work with tape but no I have to fly out tomorrow and I’ve already spent 800 dollars on alterations, including bringing it to a better seamstress and paying the rush fee for it to fit just a little better. Overall I think it’s just the wrong dress for me and I don’t love it. I don’t want it to get in the way of having a great time at my reception.

    I didn't but I can totally see why people do! It would make it so much easier to move around.

    Can you get a corset to hold your dress in place better?
