reception dress - need help

i bought a dress to wear after cake cutting (for the last hour and a half of the reception) BUT i'm not sure if i am feeling it anymore - any websites where i could browse dresses? i want something short, sexy and maybe lace - do any wedding dress designers make reception dresses? any good websites to check out? ive been googling since last night but haven't found anything yet

I don't know what styles they currently have, but try the White House Black Market and J. Crew website or stores.
What about Nordstroms or Bloomingdales??

I love this one. Lillette's has something on display by the BM dresses that is short, but looks like the same color and fabric as a wedding gown, and would make a great reception dress

anyone know anything more about it?

Did you try nordstrom.com? I know they have a lot of more 'casual' style wedding dresses.

i have a birdcage veil that FH is dying for me to wear - so i figured i can wear it with the short dress - problem is the short dress i already bought is a BCBG dress and its very modern so it clashes with the birdcage....

Re: reception dress - need help

How about something like what Britney Spears wore for her wedding? She changed into a short little lace dress with a cutout back. I'm trying to find a pic online.

Re: reception dress - need help

i really loved that dress (the bcbg middle dress) b/c i felt like it looks like a 'party' dress - but i feel like it looks a little cheapy on - i think the color white sometimes makes things look cheapy KWIM?

i dont know

EXACTLEY like that would be dope - i love the cutout in the back.....im having trouble finding something - i might have to venture into the city - but i wouldn't even know what stores to look in

I think I know what you mean--in certain fabrics it can look kind of 'cheapy'.....but lace totally doesn't usually...I totally see your vision....hmm....but I don't know where to go either!! so tough!!
