Homecoming Dresses 2017, Part 2 of 2

This is my second of two posts about Homecoming Dresses 2017, which is a full week closer than when I posted my first post about this topic.

How many of you knew that Homecoming coincides with Oktoberfest?  Oktoberfest is a German tradition commemorating the wedding of King Ludwig I, who was still merely the Crown Prince at the time, and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on the 12th of October, in 1810. They welcomed their subjects to be, to celebrate their wedding on the fields in front of the city gates of Munich. The citizens  gathered there to celebrate the next two years, but cancelled their plans in 1813, because they were at war with Napoleon. The citizens of Munich renewed the tradition by 1818, but eventually moved the start date to the third week of September, to take advantage of the longer, warmer days. Now-a-days, Oktoberfest ends the first Sunday in October.

Homecoming events usually take place within one or two months after school reconvenes each fall, which is usually late September or in the first half of October.

NewArrivalDress has a wide variety of dresses to meet your Homecoming needs, as well as a many other activities, such as formal parties or just going out to a night club.

For this post, I have selected more of my favorite not necessarily black cocktail dresses (besides the ones I featured in my previous post, a week ago).

This first dress is something I can imagine myself wearing while playing the role of Cinderella or Alice in Wonderland.

The second dress I've selected is the kind of simple, unadorned, bilaterally symetrical dress in one, solid color, which my husband prefers.  Its skirt is short, and, therefore, ideal for dancing.

I have already worn this third outfit.  I love studs and sequins, and things that sparkle in my clothes, so this is definitely one of my favorite outfits.  Something else I like about this one is that it comes in two parts - the top and the skirt, so I can mix and match the parts with other tops and bottoms!


Also a sparkly number, this fourth dress is simple and comfortable, with a high hem to accommodate dancing.  With spaghetti strings to hold it on, it is perfect for hot, sultry nights in southern Virginia, where I live!  I like the sparkling pink color, too!

By the way, I also adore the golden frame around the mirror behind the mannequin in the picture. Did I mention that my favorite color is gold?

Last but not least, this fifth dress is just the sort of dress I would like to wear when my husband and I renew our wedding vows.  Perhaps we'll make it an annual celebration, like King Ludwig I's wedding.  I wonder if Therese's was this white and lacy!
