    I've just read your other thread about you having problems with this so thought I'd try to help.

    Can you just confirm that when you click on "Reply", the box where you enter your message has no icons along the top of it (e.g. Bold, Italic etc)?

    Also, what internet browser are you using?

    Neph lovely, can you take the shrug off so I can see the dresses properly as well. I know you want to wear the shrug but I think we need to see the dresses without to see how they look on you as well as with iyswim?

    What Penny said, I had to scroll up and down a couple of times before I realised you had shown us 2 dresses.

    It's hard to tell because they both look so similar and look quite big on you so at the moment they aren't showing off your fab figure but probably the first because of the back.

    Oh no! I put the dresses away now:-( well the debenhams one is just plain strapless across the top (a bit boring really) def looks better with the shrug:-) I love the back but are people really going to be staring at my back/bum?! I hope not!! The monsoon one has a little beading detail on the bust/neckline and sheer fabric straps which turn into the veil/train at the back. Think I may put a photo on so you can see what I mean but not me in it lol! I like the slightly more structured shape of the Debs one (but worried about going to the loo!) and the Monsoon one is very elegant (mum and sis prefer too) but I think it makes me look kind of wide:-( but it's such good value and I want to be comfortable on my wedding day! ok will take another pic and wake up IE to upload it - easy when you know how:-) Neph x

    Yes, people will be looking at your back/bum during the ceremony and they'll be looking for at least 30 mins depending on what kind of ceremony you're having lol!

    tbh, just going by your pics I think I prefer the first one as I like the back of it more than the second. don't be worried about going to the loo in your dress. I learnt from a wise woman on hitched (can't remember who it was) that facing the cistern is the way to go!

    sorry to be a pain in the bum in asking you to take more piccies.

    Because you asked so nicely...here is me in the monsoon one - no shrug! H2B turned up so I can't do the other one as well. Kelly I'm using Opera (not right now but normally) guess that explains why my posts are one big paragraph - I do put returns in but they don't show up!! Thanks for all the help and advice:-) Neph x

    Hi neph, both look great on you - I love the back on the first one, shame we can't see it without the shrug....

    You did NOT buy them for that little!!! They look a lot more expensive. I know I can't see the first one in full, but I do really like the detail on the second one. Can't really tell, but the second one is lovely.

    I love the chiffony bit of the monsoon dress, I think that get's my vote but it is a close call.

    As for looking at backs, yup I think people will, when i went dress shopping with one of my bridesmaids the other week, we did critcal evaluation of the backs of dress as stand with back to people for the whole ceramony, shop lady thought we were mad especially after we named a dress the elephant dress.

    I love a bargain:-) I like the chiffony bit on the monsoon one too but I think all the detail gets covered by the shrug (which I'll be wearing the whole time for modesty!) What I love about the Debs one is the back but think I will be sitting down quite a bit lol! Nevermind - H2B says don't worry about price go for the one with the most wow factor which for me is the Debs one - just think I need to practise wearing it!! Oh and get it shortened a fair bit:-) thanks for all the kind comments everyone. Neph x
