The good ones aren't. Look for a bustle option (or add one at alterations) and a lightweight tulle underskirt instead of stiff crinoline. All three picks here can be bustled for the reception.
Best venue for a ballgown?
Ballrooms, cathedrals, estates, and grand hotels. Ballgowns need vertical space and an aisle wide enough for the skirt (at least 5 feet).
