Gorgeous--and you have occasion to wear them. Please keep them both and enjoy. You look amazing in these, Sveta.

Wow! Both dresses are killer!

Holy cannoli. You look truly amazing in both of these. You must keep both. Wow!

What excellent style and taste you have. I vote to keep them all. Spectacular!

Those are both beautiful dresses that fit you wonderfully.

WOWIE ZOWIE!! Both are keepers and GORGEOUS on you! I wish we could see you dancing in these dresses!

OMGL, keep both! We know how hard it is to find street clothes you can dance in and if you wear dresses to socials they will get a lot of use. On top of that, they also look "normal" enough for regular wear should the occasion arise.

Now...you are going to have to do a studio showcase in that blue one. Absolutely! I haven't done a showcase in years because I'm now completely comp focused, but I remember they are tons of fun and do wonders for your confidence!

You're made for these dresses. Buy even more.

Yes....all of the things mentioned above....stunning, killer, wow, gorgeous, made for you. and most importantly....KEEP!!!!!!!

Ah, I knew I can count on YLF sisterhood to share the dress joy with me Thank you all so much, your kind words and compliments made my day today!
Peri, I had to decypher your note. My first thought about "I'm now completely comp focused" was "what does dancing have to do with computers?" and then I realized that "comp" must be from competition I am impressed that you are doing competitions, I cannot even imagine the amount of work and time (and maybe money) required for this. No, we are much less ambitious (at least for now). We joined non-profit ballroom dance club, take group lessons there and going to different dances in the city. We may consider private lessons later but for now we just have fun!
Aida, the front slit on the red dress is above the knees and the skirt is not straight so there is a lot of movement ease.
Angie, you are a sweetheart and I hope you poor arm will not regret this.

Gigi, dancing is so much fun, isn't it? For sparkly earrings and such I always check inexpensive stores like Ardene: thi is the occasion when bling is really welcome - the more the better :-).

So very very fab on you. Both dresses are gorgeous and you look stunning. I hope you thoroughly enjoy wearing them.

Ha...that's how we started, 10 years ago. It just escalates, bwaaahhaaaaa!

But does your studio do shows? The one we started in included group showcase dances for the group class. If you get the chance, do it! I was so scared to do our first one, but one of my friends said "if my husband would dance with me I'd do anything!" and that gave me the courage. The thing about showcases that is so encouraging is that everyone there supports you and there is so much cheering. The less advanced are admiring of your courage and start to believe they can do it too. The more advanced remember being there and cheer for anyone who makes the effort. There is no downside! Do it if the opportunity comes up.

Showcase dances are a hoot, if your studio does them I agree with Peri, you should give it a whirl (haaah~).

Wow - both dresses are beautiful - makes me want to take up dance.

Simply beautiful!

PLONK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH

MY

GOODNESS!!!

Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor of my office.

Holy COW Sveta. You look AMAZING.

I saw the first pics and was almost afraid to keep clicking, for fear that nothing could live up to the first dress. But yowza, the second is just as amazing!!!

PLEASE go dance many nights, wear and enjoy these dresses and how they make you look and feel. Seriously you look like a million bucks.

Ok wait, just looked at the finds and there is a Lauren dress tagged. I actually own that same dress in a short version, didn't know it came in a long one........that dress is really quite amazing (at least for me) so if you were considering it, I highly recommend it!

Beautiful, elegant... Just stunning.

Oh wow! I thought the blue was gorgeous on you and couldn't be topped, then I went to the red. Stunniing! What great finds for you.

Tell us about those metallic shoes too. They look quite danceable.

MsMaven, unfortunately these shoes are not danceable: they will not stay on my feet. It was just to take pictures.

You are beyond beautiful in those dresses. As I mentioned in another post, I can imagine the movement of the dress as you dance.
