Almost the last dress fitting...flash

nanny plum, 20 August, 2011 at 20:30 Posted on Planning 0 27

I thought it would be the last dress fitting today but it needs taken in a bit more,it looks a bit bunched up as the underskirts had not been straightened out when the photo was taken. I am feeling quite stressed and the weight seems to be falling off me at the moment after all these months of calorie counting and being scared the dress would be too small. It has been shortened and i think i want to keep it this length but a little part of me says get it shorter,i am scared it would ruin the line of the dress. I love my shoes though.

    You look gorgeous, it makes your waist look tiny! I vote go shorter, I think the underskirts would still hold the line of the dress.

    It looks lovely though Smiley smile

    Dress envy! and i'd say keep the length, it looks lovely & any shorter could make it look more party dress than bridal imo

    LOVE IT!

    Its about the same length as mine and I was toying with the idea of shortening but I am sticking wit it how it is.

    Well done on the weightloss- its always better to have your dress taken in than taken out- its easier to do I think.

    That is an awesome dress! I read somewhere -whilst trawling through dress websites - that a tea length dress should be 4in above you ankles (or end at the bottom of your calves)

    I think it looks stunning just the way it is Smiley smile

    This dress is technically a 'ballerina length' dress I think. That's what the dress shop told me anyway.

    Ha ha,i don't know if i have ever been described as that but i will give you a full account of sitting down/peeing etc etc. It is quite easy to do up at the back i had my MOH with me yesterday and the lady showed her how to do it.

    Swit swoo, look at you! Fabulous dress with a fabulous figure. I like the length, though my bot would be to go shorter. You are right about those shoes!

    You wouldn't believe how much time I'm spending looking for a pair of perfect ballet flats that I may never wear. I'm a loser.
