Practice Your First Dance in the Wedding Dress

If you can, do one run-through

Many couples do this at a final fitting or at home with the dress on for ten minutes. If the dress cannot leave the shop, practice in a long, full skirt instead.

What to check

Run the whole dance once and watch for three things.

• Hem: does a foot catch it on the turn?
• Bustle: will it be up for the dance, and does it hold during the dip?
• Arms: can you raise them for the turn, or do sleeves or straps pull?
