Two piece reception dress

Melissa, on December 16, 2017 at 5:38 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

Originally I couldn't imagine wearing anything other than my dress all day. I seriously love it and spending a lot of money to change out. But I'm thinking about changing for that last hour to make dancing easier. My ceremony dress is a mermaid fitted dress.

I found a cute calf length tulle skirt but can't find a top. I want something that still has a wedding feel inexpensive since I'll probably only wear it any hour or so IF I decide to change at all.

My biggest challenge is I'm not even sure what you search for. Every two piece I've found includes both pieces. Any suggestions?

Background info: we are having a country chic wedding. Colors are navy blue and grey with touches of ivory and blush. The first photo is the skirt I'm planning to get. I'm going to include a picture of my dress in the comments to give a visual of the feel of my wedding.

    Morning Lavender has a few different styles of lace toppers and you gets wear a bralette or tank under. I think they range from $40-70.

    @Zoeii thanks. I checked it out and found one I kind of liked. They don't have a huge selection.

    @danijho I totally forgot about Francesca. I love that store as wool have to look at their website

    Shoprevelry.com sells 2 piece bridesmaids dresses, but you can order just the top of you wanted to. They have really cute ones.

    Asos.com has a number of white lace tops. Not sure exactly what you're looking for but might be worth checking them out.

    But will you actually leave your party to go change? I doubt it. I think we underestimate how much it's all a whirlwind. I vote no reception outfit. But the pic about is cute..

    Agree with @margarita. The day goes by so fast i doubt you will actually want to change. I had a similar style dress and it was not a problem dancing at all. I didn't even notice it. I just loved that when my dress was bustled it twirled really pretty. Have you tried dancing in your dress before?

    @Laura, that's much closer to what I've had in mind. I'll check them out.

    @FutureFuji and @Margarita that has definitely crossed my mind. Especially since from ceremony (5p) to all guests leave (10p) I'm only going to have 5 hours and I'm starting to feel like it might be rushed. But I think it'll give me pace of mind you know I gave it if I decide I want to change.
