1
Buy a dress that fits you well.
-
2
Shop for comfortable pumps, stacked heels, flats or slippers. Avoid high heels.
-
3
Scuff the soles of those slippery new shoes using sandpaper or a kitchen knife.
-
4
Maintain good posture - head high and shoulders back! This way, the dress hangs on you correctly instead of getting in your way.
-
5
Grasp the sides of your dress and pull them up a bit when climbing stairs.
-
6
Bustle the train with hooks, snaps or buttons - if you don't have a detachable train - so that you can move around at the reception.
-
7
Slip on that dress and shoes, and practice walking and dancing at home. Get a feel for how the dress fits and moves.

For a dress hem that touches the floor experts have said to practice walking in the gown by doing a gentle kick as you walk. This tends to keep the gown from going under your feet. When done right, no one would notice you a slightly kicking the dress as you walk. I heard somewhere that this is a technique models use when modeling those very long gowns on the runway. -

See if you can find a pair of white/ivory shoes that you already own and know to be comfortable and trustworthy for your big day. If that cannot be done (due to discontinuation) look for something by the same company that made your most comfortable heels.

Scholl's party feet are a lifesaver. They come in gel insoles, heel shields, even slingback strips. You can also get blister pads that you can put in areas of your shoes that bug you the most. The best part of it all is that they are a) reusable and b) washable. They are great for any time, being a bridesmaid or a bride and dancing all night!
