Back From Dress Shopping

heywood2be, 8 February, 2011 at 18:48 Posted on Planning 0 13

Ok so heres my full report for you all ... Booked in for 2:30 , and it turns 2:15 - my mum still isn't back from the hairdressers after being there since 11 - so ring her up - she's running late , so i had to ring the shop to tell them we were going to be late ! She was fine with it told me not to panic so anyway comes 3 o'clock and we set off - arrive in the shop which was all closed off at the back just for me !!

So she sits me down asks about styles , shown her my book and she asks me about where im getting married etc etc She then basically says that they dont stock the kind of dresses im looking into - as there quite high waisted , and those kind of dresses didnt sell well in their shop so they no longer stock that style as they only stock whats popular - fair enough!

So then she politley says to me that style anyway will only emphises the body making people hips look ten times bigget - another words im big enough so it wouldn't flatter my body lol So she shows me some dresses and i say yes i like that no dont like that etc etc - so i end up with three to try on all completely different to what i've wanted. So i get my little underskirt thingy bob on lol and she starts getting me into dress number one - and my god did she pull those laces up to do it ! Lol

Loved the first one white , sparkly bit on the hip and on the bust line , really pulled me in at the waist beautiful - then the second one and the third one i hated so just wanted to get them on - she lookes a bit lost at this point - and then said she was nipping next door which is their sister shop. As she's doing so i turnd around and this dress just lit up , i was like WOW mum i love that dress - wonder if she'll let me try it on ?!

So she comes back with her mum , and they bring me this dress - which i didnt like the look of thought it was too rooshy i then told her i liked this dress , loved it it was the styles i was going for and i just wanted it there and then ! She said i was more than welcome to try it on , and her mum even said that because the bodice was elongated it'll flater my figure. It was a size 14 and she said they were very small fittings in this style so she held it agains me fist , whilst i had another dress on and i just loved it ! -

So she said c'mmon we'll get it on you. So she put it on , and i got out to the mirror and i though yeah this is the dress for me - it was everything i wanted in a dress perfect the colour the style beautiful. So that was it i got my dress after spending ages in it. I got a tiara to put in my hair and get the full effect - and she let me try ona veil which im still not having one it looked horrible lol She then took all my measurements - and i put my deposit down little over budget it but so worth it so it should be in May/June and she's put me down as prioroty for fittings as she knew about my problems and why id left it so late in the first place ,

shes ringing me tomorrow with a defo del' date ! Ive got a pic with me in it very bad one and one just on the hanger - but im not even on my pc yet so i'll add them later . For now ill post the model picture which is disgusting - its horrible ! Lol but looks so much better on me and i dont mean to sound big headed - the beading doesnt sit that low down on my body as i have curves ! Lol She even said that that dress shouldnt have been there it was in the wrong section so it must've been fate

its a ronald joyce style 62044 -

Edit : just got the call to say my first fittig is the 7th june - going to get my cable tonight for camera so you can see me in it lol

    Sounds ace, and I found that RJ dresses are really flattering - but then again I am biased as I am a fellow Ronald Joyce bride - style 60030 Chelsea...Enjoy! I did the same. Saw Chelsea, fell in love tried one more dress by RJ, similar, said nah still like that one and that's the one I bought!

    Your Dress looks absolutely gorgeous love the sparkle!!

    I have bought a dress from Berketex Brides, but the dress is almost identical to the Ronald Joyce style 62050..the only difference really is there on my dress there is one layer of taffeta on the top and the layer's underneath are Tulle. Looking at the dress on Ronald Joyces website the whole skirth seems to be taffeta.

    Lol Nena - of cours it is - it's your dress

    Never even looked at ronald joyce dresses you know - and to be honest i hate the picture of the dress in the model lol - i've probably overlooked it at some point just goes to show how different they are in person
