**My dress FLASH....**

SouthB2B, 26 November, 2010 at 11:52 Posted on Planning 0 42

I bought my dress about a month back but never quite got around to showing you some pics, so here goes. I'm a bit nervous, I hope you like it!

I tried on tonnes and got to the 'will I ever find something' stage. In fact, this last shop sold mainly samples and I nearly didn't bother going as it was the third shop of the day and I hadn't really considered a sample. Anyway, I found two dresses I loved - what are the chances! I think it was easier actually with the samples as I only tried dresses close to my size - some of the other shops only had dresses larger than me so it was quite tricky to get a feel for how 'mine' would look. It doesn't look like it's been tried on that much either which is great!

It needs taking in a fair bit around the hips and bum - it wasn't pinned in for these photos but when it was it was a lot more flattering. Plus it's too long at the moment so doesn't hang properly. I want to lose a bit of weight before the day yet too!!

Ok here goes (sorry about the headless shots!):

    Oh thank you ladies so much! I was having the old dress wobbles majorly and so was actually dead nervous about posting the pics - your comments have reaffirmed why I loved it (and brought tears to my eyes sitting at my desk at work). Thank you all. xx

    Plan to then go quite simple with accessories / hair so it doesn't end up too OTT - but would LOVE your thoughts and ideas on this too!

    It's Alfred Sung but I think maybe a year or two old as it was a sample?

    That's really pretty! (You don't look like you need to lose any weight either, you don't want to be too skinny!).

    Ahhhh, thank you all! And especially for the figure comments, I love you! Just want to shift a couple of kilos to feel at my best for the big day but very sweet to those of you who have commented I don't need to.

    Hope you all have a great weekend x
