My first *FLASHES*... the dress!

Marysmsmt, 23 December, 2012 at 18:54 Posted on Planning 0 20

Eeeeeek! Hitchers, I found my dress!

On Friday me and two of my besties headed into London to dress shop. My fiance really wants us both in white dresses, but I have been really anxious about it because i'm just not a girlie girl and can't see myself in a traditional dress at all. I'm also a size 20 so have been fretting nothing will fit. The ONLY dress I've seen online that I want is a Candy Anthony, and I absolutely can't afford that. So we went to Vivien of Holloway instead; I really liked the photo online but wasn't convinced it would suit me at all. I literally felt sick with nerves because I wanted to like it SO MUCH!

...and... I DID! I love it! I felt amazing in it. I'm so short it covers most of my legs, hurrah, they're my least favourite bit! I wore it with two petticoats but you can't see them in the pics- one red, one white- and you can see my son in the second photo hiding underneath lol!! He thought it was great! He kept saying "so pretty, mama" Smiley heart I'm wearing converse on the day. Think i'm gonna buy the little jacket too cos it'll be good for the outdoor photos, it's a November wedding. I'm braless in these pics and it felt fine cos the dress is boned, although I might wear a strapless bra so I can stick chicken fillets in- not sure yet!!

Please let me know what you think!!

    I love that you're wearing converse sneakers on the day, I know two ppl who did that for their wedding and I think they were stoked to not have sore feet! Also, I further other people's comments on no need for chicken fillets. The dress looks beautiful!

    Hi Date Twin ?

    You look great and the dress really suits you, I agree that the jacket just makes the outfit it looks great all together and being a non girly girl myself I know how uncomfortable and awkard things like this may feel but you really suit it.

    It looks great. I wore a VoH dress to my friend's wedding in September and EVERYONE was talking about it! I've been really tempted by this one for when I do my legal part. So nice to see a "real person" in it, too! x

    Lol thank you, I really don't though, they're only a B! But the dress is boned so just holds them where they are meant to be hahaha instead of where they usually reside thanks to breast feeding lol!!

    ooh I can't wait to buy it now!! Xx
