Wedding Gowns That Allow You to Dance

[Me]

Tangoleva makes a... gorgeous... wedding gown.

Here are some pictures from her Web site:


With Train.....

Ha ha! No, I am 5'0", size 0-4 (depending on designer/style), but my build is anything but slender. My last partner kept saying I am built just like Julia Gorchakova, if that gives you any indication.

So you have a killer build? Lucky!

Then I'd watch out for dresses with too much...froofy bits, if you have curves and are petite. If you can wear a sorta-mermaid shape, that one Me just posted is GORGEOUS (but I love lace so I may be biased.)

And for me, my dream would be to marry someone who'd be comfortable doing a cha cha, or a Gold Smooth Fox routine (I could fake it ) or a jive as a first dance. If I'm going to show off, I'm going to SHOW OFF. Plus have fun. I'd hate to have to look back and have done a waltz or something schmalzy. (Bolero would be fun, but a bit....uh...too-too much.)

Wow, Me, that dress is perfect. I wish I had known to ask DF for advice before my wedding -- I totally would have gotten that one.

Beautiful dress, Me!! I love lace I've worn dresses similar length/style to this dress (not in white!), and they just look huge and droopy on me in the photos. I think it has to be above the knee to look proportional on me, given my shortness. But I checked out the Tangoleva site and it got me thinking... maybe I can get away with a long dress if it has slits?

I'm all about showing off, too!! I feel like it's the only day in my life where I'm entitled to do it

Are you a ballroom dancer ?

Why don't you just make an unstoned simple ballgown and wear it to the wedding.

If I had competed when I got married that was definitely what I would have done !

I currently have a ballgown that could pass for a wedding dress.

PM me if you want to see a picture !

I'm mostly a Latin dancer, and am completely incapable of making my own dress. I was mostly joking about wearing a ballroom dress instead of a wedding dress, but it doesn't hurt to look! I'm sending you a PM. Thanks!

So apparently those dresses with the removable ballgown skirts are called "convertible"... TAK, thought of you with this one:
