A dress (also frock, gown) is a garment consisting of a skirt with an attached bodice or with a matching bodice giving the effect of a one-piece garment.

What type of dress should I change into after the ceremony?
Q. I originally bought my dress with the intention of wearing it all day long and not changing. Well after the dress came in from being ordered, it does not fit the same as the one I tried on and it pretty uncomfortable. I am now thinking of buying a simple dress to change into some time after the ceremony. Should I go with something short (just above the knee) knee length, or longer? Should it be white or would any color be okay? I still want to look nice and not have people forget I am the bride. Please any opinions will be greatly appreciated as I am getting married on Friday.

A. i think you should get another white dress, knee-length or just above it, thats what my cousin did at her wedding! That way you're still in white so you stand out as the bride but are more comfortable for the reception, dancing etc!
