I want to get a slightly sexy evening gown for later on in the night...where to look and when to change into it?

I want to...but I have to see what the situation is (i.e. how rushed I'm going to be, etc) - I'm def changing into one for the afterparty!

I will be staying in my dress all day. I will never wear it again so I need to get the most out of it. I also honestly think it depends on what you spent on your original dress. If it wasn't over the top expensive.

i like it allegracristina!!! you are soo cool.. i like the late change of clothes... i want a majority of my photo ops to be in my princess gown

Awww thanks girl!!!!! Word up tho on wanting most of your pics in your gown, I felt the same way!!!! I wish I had kept my veil on longer though, that's my only style regret I took it off for the grand entrance and I wish I had kept it through at least the first dance. BOOOOOOO ALLEGRA!!!!! (Said in amazing Jamaican Red Stripe Man voice) Good luck with everything!!!!

I did this! I think it's great if you want to do it! My main reason for changing was we did a Rock Band after party in the CH room at the Royalton from 1am-3am, and we started it off with a 'performance' from 'our band' lol. It was me on drums, DH on lead vocals/guitar, our best man on guitar, and my moh on bass! It was so awesome! Anyway I couldn't drum in a ballgown, so I got this awesommmme custom made dress from Sarahseven.com. She custom makes all the dresses on her site for you (takes about 6-8 weeks). They are about $295-$595. Much better than the $1500 plus that all the bridal salons wanted for the short dresses.

I changed into the short dress at around 12-12:30 am. I also changed my shoes. Here are some pics! Good luck!

That's awesome..... I love the idea of an after party like that....

Thanks!!!

i'm thinking about getting a 2nd dress to change into a some point during the reception... i love my real dress, but its super heavy, and that was definitely a consideration when i bought it, but i said to heck w/ it, cuz i love it anyway! but at the same time, i do want to be able to dance and move around and enjoy myself w/o getting really hot and exhausted. don't laugh but i found these websites online where you can buy faux designer dresses made in china for like $200. for that much, i would be willing to find out what they really look like in person! :P

I am probably staying in the same dress all day..Love it and for me, it doesn't make sense to change into another outfit if the purpose of having a wedding gown is to walk around and show it off all day.
