So, unexpectedly went out shopping with my Mum today & happened to pop into a bridal shop.
After my post earlier asking about the tea length dresses I tried one on & unfortunately it didn't do anything for my shape at all & could definitely see all my wobbly bits etc, I had a feeling really that would happen but oh well..appreciate any advice given to me so thanks to all Smiley laugh

ANYWAY..i tried 5 dresses on, 3rd I knew I was taking it home with me when my Mum had a little cry in front of everyone in the shop & it just felt really "me"..complete opposite from what I thought i'd have but I love it! Tried a couple on after it and they were nice but I didn't think they'd compare. So adding a little flash & blurred out my face as I looked like a goon! Should be in roughly February & getting a proper fitting one so will look better then, and also getting straps added on to it Smiley smile But yeees, I finally have my dress..another ticked off Smiley smile

    It looks really lovely on you - I think this was one of the first dresses I tried on - is it Maggie Sottero Michelle?

    Looks amazing, look at your iddy biddy waist!! I wouldn't say you needed to lose 30lbs but I also know about wanting to feel comfortable in yourself. You look fantastic though. How did you find the experience? I know you we're worrying before you went.

    Aww thanks so much everyone ? So happy with it and yes such a relief to have another thing ticked off haha!
    Well I need to lose 30 lbs to be a healthy weight as i'm still overweight atm, was obese and only just made it to the healthy bit haha ? I think the weights all on my hips bum and legs unfortunately and I have some serious toning to do on my arms & tummy but thanks ladies..feel loads better Smiley laugh

    I have to say the girl in the shop was great, worried so much and wore my granny knickers pulled right up to below bra & she didn't even notice I don't think, she'd let me get dressed and then quickly pull me into dresses in a flash, she didn't look at my saggy body once I don't think, and if she did she didn't show it..she complimented me and was honest about dresses that didn't suit me etc and was super helpful. Worried so much for nothing, so glad it was a really good experience Smiley smile

    Thanks again everyone you're all super at getting confidence up
