Following on from the 'told not to lose any more weight' thread, I had a little browse for a 'going away' dress in Debenhams today and found a lovely Debut tea length gown. I have generally been about size 8 or 10 for the last year, but thought I'd give this pretty a try even though it was a size 6. It was falling off me... my (sample sale) wedding dress is currently a size 12 :/ I don't want to offend as I know this is a bit of an odd problem but a problem it is for me nonetheless. I was told when I bought it that I don't need to get measured for alterations 'til April, but I have an 'accessories try-on' with it at the end of this month. Just worried they won't be able to get it to fit and maintain shape/detail and I'll end up having to rush out and buy something completely non-bridal as money won't stretch to other and off-the-peg ones won't fit as I'm a midget...
Not really after advice about that just wanted to rant sorry, and while I'm at it...
I agreed with OH that We could have a go at making the wedding cake ourselves. He has plenty of ideas (quite traditional) about how it should look, which in theory sounded fine. Now it seems to have fallen to me, which I sort of understand because he has lots of gardening to do to prepare for our guests coming for drinks and photos in our garden, and that's where his skills are. But, cooking isn't where my skills are! He told all his family to get me specialist cake making equipment for Christmas, and I'm about to start a cake decorating course tomorrow. I do want to the cake for us, so I need to do the course so I know what I'm doing, but I'm not doing it because I'm interested, just because I feel I need to. So not feeling positive or motivated about it, just terrified!
It would be nice if someone who'd done one of these could come and tell me that they'll be gentle with me and I will enjoy it!
Eeek and eeek! And eeek at the date getting nearer!
