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!

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!

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!
