10 days to go and I may change my evening dress! Your thoughts? Thanks.

Hi

I''ve ordered this dress but in purple fabric and I''m in love with it as it''s very me (the glamorous version of me) as it''s loose fitting and a little quirky . Here''s a description of the dress:

"Avant garde modern, loose fitting Stretch Satin single Sleeve Jumper Dress with conceptual wave print.
Abstract, very flattering cut. Uneven hem line exposes one knee. Cool and Breezy, does not cling to your body even on the hottest day. Black leather strap with silver buckle on one shoulder"

Mine will be in the muted eggplant/violet with gold and terra cotta red/brown waves fabric and the designer is going to change the buckle into something "glamorous" (in her word) for my wedding. It''s also custom to my height.

In the Chinese tradition, the bride normally changes into either a Chinese tradition Qi Piao or an evening gown in the middle of the reception but those are not really me. Is this too weird to be worn as my change of dresses esp with my shoes as well?

Your thoughts? I should recieve it next thu/fri and my wedding is on Sat!! Cutting very close!

Thanks in advance.

I think its an awesome dress! I think the shoes will go well, they look like they match perfectly. My only questions are, how formal is the wedding? Will there be others dressed up fancier than this dress? Agan, I think its fabulous!

I think it looks gorgeous!

Hehe, I''m changing into a "modernized" version of a qi pao, it''s knee length and with a halter top collar.

Thanks!! The wedding is at a nice Chinese restaurant and it''s by the water. We do not have a formal theme and I know my parents and my friends are not wearing formal dresses or suits. My SIL and some other relatives are wearing very nice Qi Piao with sequins and gold threads. Groom is wearing a dark gray suit not tux. So I should say, it''s a quite a hybrid as everyone is wearing what they fancy

I bought the shoes to go with my wedding dress and is glad that it goes with this purple dress as well!

Thanks! I love the "modernized" version of qi pao as my younger sister is getting one too. It crossed my mind before but as the store was owned by an older relative and the factory is in China, I am afraid of making any changes with fear of lost in translation. Your sounds lovely!

Kudos to you for wearing jeans!!! My friends kept telling me that they don''t want to see me in my jeans or slacks on the day of as that''s something that I wear almost year round. I actually thought that it''s neat as you can dress up with a nice top and with the right accessories (and of course the right type of jeans), it can look great too!
