tried my dress on today with a couple of piccies

lauralil, 21 March, 2009 at 19:01 Posted on Planning 0 18

I am so happyyyy!! Lost 3 dress sizes over the past 4 years and now down to a 8 to 10. Ordered this dress in size 8 and was dreading not being able to fit into it, but it was almost perfect. Just need some more boobies to fill it!! haha

Its a Maggie Sottero, called Ariana and I'm in love with it. Can't actually explain how pretty I felt in it, which I guess is what you want right??

I had all the ladies in my family there (including visiting Mum from spain!, and my bridesmaid and my daughter so it was a special day for sure

heres the front


and the back...i absolutely love the train. We didn't do the corset back up properly as this is my actual dress and we didn't want to crease it in any way till we absolutely have to.

    HAHAHAHA I'm actually laughing here Lynsey, I never thought i'd ever be associated with that phrase. 2 kids, too many days eating for 2 and too many excuses...think I was 14 stone at my heaviest! eeek! Feels a long time ago!

    Just seen your FB and was going to reply, but nipped over here in the hope you'd have some piccies. My efforts have been rewarded! Hurrah!

    Laura, it's gorgeous, and you look beautiful......and so girly! ? M is going to have to look twice at you on the day to make sure it IS you! He's going to love it.

    All that hard work losing the weight was worth it. You look sooooo happy. And I'm not jealous at all. Oh no. Not one little bit.?

    Its goooorgeous, lovely!

    aaw thank you my lovely! Yes I know, me all girly is going to be quite a shock to the system.

    To anyone who is having difficulty understanding why Mazzy is laughing her socks off, its because I usually look like this.


    Baggy men's snowboard clothes, hoody on, bandana on face, anything which is as far from girlie as possible. And I met h2b snowboarding so him and our friends have got used to this look!

    I absolutely cannot wait to see their faces!!!

    Wow 2 kids later and you are still tiny, an even bigger well done on losing weight. I feel ashamed now that I'm not the same size without having kids.

    You suit the girlie look so your h2b will be blown away.

    In my head, I've got an image of Mart waiting for you to come down the aisle, and he's expecting to see you turn up in full boarding gear. ?

    You'll have to make sure the photographer is in prime position to get a shot of his face when he sees you in a dress!?

    Hope all is well with you and the tribe! xx

    It is absolutely lovely. You will be absolutely gorgeous on THE day! You must be so ecstatic! Congratulations on losing the weight.

    I keep saying I'm going to do it but once I'm in new job I think I'll find it a lot easier.

    Its not bloody easy though is it, I feel like I've been on a permanent diet for the past 5 years. I'm crap at it, hence the reason its taken me so long.

    Beautiful dress, really suits you and looks lovely.

    Love the snowboarding look too, I can relate to it, its such a great sport. Though over the last two years I have got into running and training for marathons so boarding has taken a bit of a back seat.

    WOW!, you look amazing!, had to take a closer look at the snowboarding pic to make sure you weren't trying to fool us ?

    Your h2b is going to be soooo overwhelmed at how good you look in your dress, his face will be a real pic ?, he's going to want you to look girlie at least half the time now ?
