Are you going to wear a SEXY 2nd dress?

If so, what designer? I am trying to find a sexy dress (that's reasonably price-- like under $250 reasonable LOL) to wear for the last hour of my reception.........

HELP !

i honestly couldn't imagine leaving the reception to go change into another dress. it all went so fast, i wouldn't have wanted to spend any unnecessary time out of the ballroom. I loved my dress, and didn't even want to take it off when the night was over & we were back at the hotel.

It also just seems like an added extra expense, even if its only $250.

i got one - im really excited to wear it - its a melissa sweet reception dress - a big wedding dress is SO NOT my personality so i wanted to have something that was more ME to wear also.....not sure how early into the reception i am changing - probably after dinner is served...its a surprise nobody knows (except FH and 1 BM) that i have a 2nd dress...

im not sure where you could find something udner 250 - i was looking at jovani dresses but they were more like 500 - maybe davids bridal> check out dept stores also like bloomies, nordstrom, neiman marcus, saks, macys etc.

I actually got a bridesmaid sress in ivory for my afterparty dress. My big dress won't last at the hotel bar

thats a really good idea too!

nope, the first (and only) dress cost enough

ITA. The night flew and the only time we were away from the party was to take some extra photos.

I'm afraid of running out of time too but my FH hinted at a dress he liked (slim fitting, satin, strapless) and it's NOTHING like the one I picked out I went for a huge ball gown

I'm sure he'll love it but wanted to wear something sexy for the last hour

I like the idea of an ivory or white sexy BM dress!

That just might do the trick

ITA. My Reception went way to fast and could not have imagined going to change. I guess to each his own.

Hey I like the idea! I say go for it!! If my FH hinted that he would like a slinky sexy dress...I would be doing the exact same thing. The extra $$ is totally worth his face when you walk out onto the dance floor looking all sexy!

sounds fun. im sure you won't miss 5-10 mins of your reception. thats like takin a pee break. lol

here are some i saw on nordstrom...not sure exactly what youre looking for

ITA! And then I wore my dress another 5 hours at our afterparty! (our OOT guests + a few others changed, the rest stayed in their wedding clothes) i was so sad to take it off at the end of the night
