Oh my goodness, I'm in love!! **flash**

Arquard, 2 September, 2010 at 12:42 Posted on Planning 0 25

Well obviously with h2b, but with a DRESS now too!!

After all my wobbles over making my own the other day, I've started looking online for inspiration to go and try stuff on and I've found something that made me burst into tears instantly. In 'Wedding' magazine, there was a Veromia advert with a really pretty gown, so I toddled over to the website and they had it there but on a plus size model. Well it looks 10x nicer on the larger model!!! As a size 16-18 in normal clothes (so probably a 20 in wedding dresses), one of my biggest panics has been that however lovely the dress I wear in the end might be, it will always look less nice because of my size. Well this doesn't!

AAAAAAND it turns out that it's in stock at my local bridal store!!!!! Fate? Maybe. I'm going to try and get an appointment this weekend to try some on. I can't stop crying when I look at the pic though.

    Hi Sammi

    I am a similar size to you although i'd hoping to loose weight before the big day.

    I have also looked at the website and thought this dress was gorgeous! I am having my dress made but am planning on trying on a few of there dresses to get an idea Smiley smile

    Thats a fantastic dress! As a size 18 myself I've always been disappointed with the availability of posh frocks of any kind, but the range that dress is from seems to have the market covered. You'll look fab, whatever size the label says.

    You should have a look at the About A Bride website. They're based in MK so it's a bit far from Kent, but the blurb on the site says they can help arrange accommodation and stuff if you want to travel in to try on their frocks.

    Thanks for that, but I think I've found mine already - I'm having a corset and skirt. I won't hijack your thread, I'll post another with my picture.

    Sammy I got my dress from Vanilla Bridal in Newport Pagnell - mine is Ian Stuart but she does other ranges and plus size (hate that term).

    Alice the owner is fantastic and I had amazing service. x

    MIL said she'd take me over to Newport Pagnell in a few weeks but I can't find out if they stock this dress yet. About A Bride in Fenny Stratford have it so I'll go there this weekend and see how I get on before going to Vanilla Bridal. Thanks for the recommendation!

    I'm having a real ordeal getting through to the store just now but I've emailed them to ask for an appointment this weekend. If they let me take a pic, I'll definitely definitely flash! I'll have to go on my own to try it on so will need some opinions other than the saleswoman in the store!

    I really like the overlay and the tulle, it's beautiful, in shape it's quite similar to mine, and I'm also a size 16/18 (well actually 18 ? )

    I went for the Veromia Sonsie range too as I am a plus size, They are a beautiful range, very flattering, I went for 9007. I do love that dress you flashed but unfortunately it didn't do anything for me as all the frills just seemed to add bulk to me which I definitely didn't need ! Hopefully your local shop has a few from the range you can try, good luck!

    Hi! No they didn't have it in the end. Apparently someone had been in a few days before and panic-bought the shop sample because she'd left it too late to order one. They had some in virtually identical styles though and when I tried them on, they weren't quite right. They made me look a lot bigger around the hips and in the end I fell in love with an A-line Sincerity Bridal gown instead!
