Happy Happy Happy Bride to be - now with MORE Flashes - updates 01/04/2012

Hi All

I just wanted to share my news ..

I brought my wedding dress last July and I'm getting married this July, and I've been to try my wedding dress on today.

It was a bit small when I brought it in July (it was from the sale rack) and I loved it when I tried it on, and when I went to try it on in November it wasn't that good a fit but I still loved the dress. I booked an appointment for today because over the past month I have been having wobbles about it, I didn't think it was the dress of my dreams and was worried that it would not look good, worried about the lenght and worried about looking stupid.

However, I have been to try it on today and it looks amazing on me. Ive lost 15lb on the slimming world diet, and although i need to lose a little more weight, the moment I put my dress on and the lady did the zip up the back i just thought "wow" again. THe woman then put a hoop underneath it and that really finished it off ... she said that it will need taking in around the bust (as that is where most of the weight seems to have gone frm, apart from a bit on my hips and back), but it fits nearly perfect on my hips and I don't have any back fat hanging over the top of my dress at the back like I did in November. (Sorry if TMI)

I'm so happy and proud of myself and I just wanted to share :-) today is the first day I have ever looked at myself in a mirror and thought ... I look beautiful. I could have cried with happyness!

    This my dress ... from November 2011 from the front (above) and the back (below) I love the detail on the back, it's really original I think.

    As you can see, I had bad bulges over the back of my dress at the top, and they have now gone :-)


    And the pic from today :-) :-) :-)


    I'm sorry if the pics are too big ... what are your honest opinions?

    Well done you, you look great!

    I have had a lot of medical issues and have put a lot of weight on over the years.

    I am not getting married until 3rd August 2013, however I am really worried about the whole dress thing. I have been persuaded to go and try the dress of my dreams on at the end of the month. I am soooo nervous!

    Thank you for everyone's lovely comments ... Isn't it the best feeling in the word to feel great about yourself? I can't wait to go back in May and have a meeting with the fitter to discuss final alterations :-) yey yey yey ..

    Now that I know how to flash (oh dear ... how weird does that sound?) I'm going to flash my shoes :-) and invitations :-) lol

    Hey Pandora :

    I don't think I am the one who is having a lot of POTO style things at her wedding (there was a hitcher asking for info on a thread a few months ago), but I am walking down the aisle to Music of the Night, signing register to LOve NEver Dies and walking back up the aisle to PAst the POint of No Return, as well as naming the tables after musicals ... and my table will be the Phantom table :-)

    Hmmm ... where is my Phantom DVD ... may have to watch that again :-)

    Hi All

    Now that I have lost 2 stone, I went to try my dress on again on Saturday and have been banned from losing more that 7lb :-)


    Sorry about the huge pics :-) What do you guys think?

    Thanks Rosie :-) Have you watched it yet? If you have the CD you will notice changes to some parts and some lines, but after watching LND a few times I can see that some of the changes fit better.

    I'm also going to see Ramin Karimloo in May (fingers crossed) and Phantom in Leeds in September - YEY!!!!
