Are these sentences correct:

1-He danced with her with her best dress on.

2-He kissed her with her best dress on.

Well, the sentences could mean that he had her best dress on. But could these sentences have the other meaning as well?

I doubt it...


Gratefully,
Navi.
 
You could rephase the sentence like this:

He danced with her in her best dress.

not a teacher
 
Ted, that sounds even more like he was wearing her best dress.
 
He danced with her wearing her best dress.

He danced with her with the latter wearing her best dress.
 
He danced with her while she was wearing her best dress.
 
How did we get from 'wedding dress' to 'best dress'?
 
Wardrobe change?
 
Perhaps he was wearing the wedding dress and she was wearing her best dress?
 
Thank you all very much for your kind replies.

I changed my mind in the middle of the whole thing, but forgot that I had put in 'wedding dress' in the title.

My apologies.

In my defense I would say that her best dress is her wedding dress! (a bit lame, but I am doing my best...)

Gratefully,
Navi.
