So it was my first fitting today, my bridesmaid and I made the 250 mile round trip for the fitting and it fits perfectly. No alterations required. However the hoop I bought didn't look right with my dress (so I have a spare hoop if someone would like to make me an offer ?) so I bought one from the dress shop which is fab, just having it made smaller so it doesn't fall down my bum!
Here we go, all tried on with PGs jewelery Excuse the face and glasses - they will both be fixed on the day. Oh the hair too! That was just clipped back quickly! It was a lot lighter than I remember, but sales assistant did remind me that the size 18 with lots of foam stuffed down the back would be heavier as it was more material. I had a 'well der' moment!
