Other than a Wedding, what reason would a woman have to wear a formal white dress?

Question

I'm a seamstress and I happened to design a dress that I am absolutely in love with. It has to be white, though, and it won't have the same effect without a train. It does have some colored accents on it. I really want to make it and wear it.. but I can't imagine where I'd wear it to. I'd hate to make something so beautiful to go to waste.. I've been married for almost 3 years so it's too late to be a wedding dress and way too soon for a vow renewal. I don't have any friends getting married any time soon either..

Any ideas?

Answer 1

OMG. I can tell by your phrasing that you think "vow renewal" is a normal and expected thing.

Vows don't expire, dingbat.

Answer 2

sometimes when girls have sweet sixteen or parties or whatever they do themes, i've been to plenty of parties were people have had to wear either a black or white dress

Answer 3

a train??? OMG! Perhaps if your marriage doesn't work out, you can wear it next time.  Especially with the colored accents.  How about a play wear you're the bride?

Answer 4

White is VERY hard to pull off. Maybe a very formal party...other tha that, I have no suggestions.

Answer 5

going clubbing, prom. something like that.

Answer 6

a quinceanera or a sweet sixteen (???)

Answer 7

ball, photo shoot,  

Answer 8

church? Other peoples weddings?

A freind of mine wanted to have an occasion to wear a formal dress. She said that kids get all the fun. So she had a "oscar party". People got to dress up as hollywood stars or anything they wanted. I went as a "sit in" Wore a formal dress and had fun! (sit in's a the oscars are normal people that are dressed nice and take the place of a famous person when they get up to use the john)

We were watching the Oscars.

Answer 9

None

Answer 10

Maybe to a ball?  Or put it on a mannequin, so you can stare at it forever.  I love just laying on my bed & staring at the clothes that I particularly like because it makes me feel so full of myself (shh don't tell :D).  Maybe I'm just weird ? x]  

Answer 11

Baptism, Holy Communion, Vow Renewal, Confirmation, Wedding, Party, Prom, Homecoming, Dinner Party, Hosting An Event.

Hope I Helped, X.

Answer 12

you know it would be romantic to renew your wedding vows on your anniversary.  you've been married for about 3 yrs so thats a good time.  maybe save it for that occasion. it'll be like your wedding all over again :D

otherwise, i guess occasions that are close to family like sweet sixteens even since they are really fancy nowadays, or anniversary parties or etc.

its a little harder to wear this dress since its white but im sure you'll manage to be able to wear it again.  :D  btw, how does the dress look?

Answer 13

oprah or a ballet something formal and public like that =]

Answer 14

find some girl that is doing a pageant?

Answer 15

Prom, maybe ?
