Did something a little crazy - Dancing Dress

[luvbug]

I''ve been thinking about getting a reception dress pretty much since I started looking at dresses. Since I love my dress so much I''ve been rethinking the 2nd dress - until I checked out a few short dresses. I had my eye on a few and went to a Priscilla of Boston trunk show this weekend.

Welllllll.....I walked out the proud owner of this Melissa Sweet dress!! I had been swooning over it on the website and was convinced it wouldn''t look good on, but once I had it on I didn''t want to take it off!!! I never make decisions like this but I absolutely fell in love.

So, this is my wedding dancing dress. I''ll be changing into it after the 1st dance, dinner, and dance with my dad - so I can boogie down

We''re also having an afterparty so I figure I can wear it there too!

The saleslady said it was sophisticated in the front, party in the back. Mullet dress!!

 

[violet3]

Wow! i love that - perfect for dancing the night away!!!

EDIT: love the back even more - the mullet comment made me laugh out loud!

 

[luvbug]

The detail is really exquisite

 

[Kelli]

WOW! I LOVE your mullet dress! LOL It''s perfect for a wedding after-party.

[tlh]

FUN!

 

[blackbetty]

i love it!

I love it -- mullet dress! Ha ha!

It''s beautiful, and I''m sure you will look beautiful and have a blast in it.

 

[elrohwen]

That dress is gorgeous. I''d seen it on the website, but I never realized the back was that beautiful! I

it. Can you link to your original dress? I don''t remember it.

Out of curiosity, with a back like that, what do you do about wearing a bra? That was one of my challenges with dress shopping ... if I couldn''t wear a semi-ordinary bra, it just didn''t work!

 

[brandy_z28]

SWEET! That''s a beautiful dress!

 

[mayachel]

Very sweet. I think we need to cut off the mullet ref. ''cause it''s way too pretty to be in THAT sorta category.

 

[sunnyd]

Your mullet dress is awesome!!!

 

[bebe]

Very pretty and very sexy - great combo.

LMAO!!!!! If only mullets were as refined as this dress!!! I love it!! It''s beautiful!!! Do you have any pics of you in it?

 

[luvbug]

violet3 - Thanks!

Kelli - Thanks! I was going to change into a "bride" jumpsuit since the afterparty is at our hotel, but this will be a lot more fun!

rockin11 - Thank you - I''ll get some more up tomorrow

tlh, blackbetty, TheBigT, brandy_z28, sunnyd, bebe - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

elrohwen - I just ordered my gown recently https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/finally-took-the-plunge-my-dress.107961/
2 dresses in 2 weeks! LOL! I''ll probably wear a Nu-Bra (one of those sticky silicon cup bras with no back) and they''ll be sewing cups into the dress. I don''t have a large chest so that should be enough support.

mayachel - I know, it is a strange nickname for such a fab dress. The saleslady said "party in the back" and I just looked at her and said "Like a mullet?!?!" and we died laughing.

FrekeChild - Hahaha thanks! I have a few pics of the dress on me on my camera at home, I''ll post em soon!

OMG I LOVE that dress!!!! I saw that in Modern Brides, and even showed my SO the dress. I just don''t have the boobs for it (4 kids, 36D but not on the ribs.

)

You MUST post pictures of you in the dress when you can. The back of that is just so sassy!

 

[PearlDahhhling]

Oh wow! It''s beautiful!!!

 

[shimmer]

Stunning! Love your ''mullet''

 

[kama_s]

YOWZA! It''s absolutely fabulous! I''d love to see pictures of you in it!

 

[emeraldlover1]

I am wearing this dress too! Only, I''m wearing it to my rehersal dinner or possibly my after party. Do you want to see a pic?

 

[audball]

Pics of you! Please! It''s SOOO beautiful! What are you doing for a bra with it?

 

[honey22]

Both your dresses are just beautiful! Can''t wait to see pics!!!

 

[Sparkalicious]

luvbug - I''m so lovin the mullet dress! It''s fabulous!!

 

[Deelight]

OMG your mullet dress is awesome

, hehehe I love the reference . I am also thinking how cool those ruffles will look when you twirl around on the dancefloor

 

[bee*]

I just adore that dress-it''s amazing!

 

[luvbug]

Winks_Elf - Thanks! It is one of the few occasions where a small chest comes in handy LOL

emeraldlover1 - Loved the dress on you!!

audball - Thanks, just one of those sticky cup bras & sewn in cups

Deelight - The dress really does move beautifully, one of the things I love best about it. Thank you!

PearlDahhhling, shimmer, kama_s, honey22, Sparkalicious, bee - Thank you all for your comments - I''m so happy with the dress!!


Without further ado - here''s some pics of me in the dress. My appointment was running long and I felt bad so they''re super quick
