Thread 'Dancing in my Wedding Dress! Help!'

Hello everyone!

I read a post here about ballroom dancing in a wedding dress, but I felt I had a few more questions that maybe some of you could help me with? I've been dancing for about four years, so being able to dance at my wedding is very important to me. I want the traditional dress, though, and while it does not need to have a full train, I would like it to at least touch the floor. I'm thinking about dress #002054358 at JJ's House. (They can remove the train!)

So, here are my questions:

1. If I get a floor-length dress, can I let it touch the floor or should I have it cut...

I will check out that thread.

Wedding dresses are designed for walking up and back down the aisle. They are generally not designed for dancing in. If you’re planning to do any dancing in your wedding dress, definitely wear it to a rehearsal, though by then it may well be too late.

I agree in general, but it depends a lot on the style of the dress. Not every dress has a full skirt and a train.

Some brides choose to change into a different (shorter) dress for the reception that is easier to dance in, if dancing is important to them.
