Here are a couple of dresses from my first trial.

I really like the idea of the V-neck and the low back, but the lack of detail on this dress kind of bored me to tears. I think I am looking for something that looks like this, but a little fancier.

I love the lace on this dress, but I emphatically do not want a strapless dress, so I think I'm looking for some combination of these two styles. This is a picture with the train folded underneath to give an idea of what it might look like if I performed a trainectomy.
