My 'Primark' wedding dress fitting ***flashy***flashy***flashy***

panda2011, 15 December, 2010 at 21:13 Posted on Planning 0 22

Hi Girls, I've been a bad hitcher for a few days with a nasty migraine so having postponed it from Monday I finally got to see & try on my 'Primark' Maggie Sottero dress! (see thread of the year award winner ? ) This is the dress which I bought having only seen a picture of it as it is discontinued & there was just 1 left at Maggie Sottero which is a UK size 8 & very scary as I'm still a 12 after having Seb in February! Anyway, here are the pics. Look forward to your comments and please be honest - I will appreciate honesty ?

The pic I fell for.

    Thanks girls! I still want to lose a minimum of 1 stone (hopefully 1 1/2 stone) by 10th September as all I can see in the pics is the huge band of flab that sits just above my hips at the moment ☹️ My arms also look really big to me as pre-pregnancy they would have been exremely well toned. This dress was a huge risk as I had to pay for it before seeing it for the dress shop to get it in for me but at £550 (I've seen it on at as much as £1350 full price!) it was a real bargain & it has got that little bit of pink I so desperately wanted. What I like is that it looks ok now but I can see how as I lose more of my baby weight that it will fit me better & will then hopefully have the wow factor which isn't bad coming from someone who really hates her body!!! ? I'm just so relieved I managed to squeeze into it as I've been having nightmares about not being able to get into at all lol!

    Thanks Vikster ? I freely admit I do have issues about my lumpy bits & I know it is just me that notices them.

    I've been waiting for this flash since your FB update on Friday. A big ? for you - it looks gorgeous on, and my fave part is still the bodice, such a lovely shape.

    Hope your very happy, and pleased with yourself for getting into that size 8! (very jealous of your figure!)

    Thanks for all the lovely comments girls! I was so worried about putting pics up of my lumps & bumps so you could all see them lol! I do think it will look better as I slim down (I'd love to get back to 10 stone by the end of Jan) but I am in love with the detail on the bodice ? Now I just need to decide what to do with my hair/find a tiara/veil etc! I might have my hair extensions put back in & have my hair down as that makes me feel loads more attractive than my own straggly locks lol

    You're braver than me buying it without being able to try it on but it's really paid off it looks beautiful on you... I know eactly what you mean about your lumpy bits, I feel the same way but you don't look like you have any lumpy bits in the photos so don't put too much pressure on yourself!

    It's a gorgeous dress and looks far better on you than the model so don't stress yourself about wanting to lose weight!
