It may sound corny, but I love the dances we have at the school. Because we are both a small school and have students of all ages the the activities are varied and charming . We usually have waltzing, swing dancing, the Virgina Reel (my favorite!), musical chairs, and miscellaneous dancing. Nearly everyone from the littlest student to us staff members are involved. Besides I love to dance!
While nearly all of our dances are "casual" (except the last one of the year), those who want to dress up. I decided to wear this bridesmaid dress I made for my friend Thera's wedding. It's an infinity dress and I helped the other two maids make theirs. Paired of course with my vintage mink stole, which I wear as often as I can!
You can't see it because I'm holding the skirt out, but this dress is much slinkier then I usually wear. It is a blast to dance in though because of the huge circle skirt.
It's a cliché that bridesmaid dresses are ugly and never worn again. I've been a bridesmaid 3 times over and have ended up with 3 very lovely and wearable dresses.

A rose pink dress that I wore for my friend Kristina's wedding. It has a wonderful 50's feeling and is also a delight to dance in.
I wore this green brushed cotton dress with oodles of pin tucks for my friend Molly's wedding. We actually found them on sale at Macy's!
My friend Autumn recently got engaged so I'm looking forward to another surprisingly wearable bridesmaid dress, most probably in blue!
Do any of you have bridesmaid dress stories, good or horrible?
