OMG I fell in love with a marmite dress!!

Mrs P 2 B, 10 July, 2011 at 19:56 Posted on Planning 0 23

I went dress shopping for the first time this weekend and tried on loads of dress all different shape and sizes.. i saw this dress that i wanted to try on 'for a laugh'!! and i couldn't believe how much i liked it... It was the weirdest feeling.. Mum couldn't believe it either.. everyone was shocked inc the bridal shop!!

Then today the bridal shop did a fashion show at a wedding fayre and i took MIL.. she only commented on 1 dress.. obvious that was mine and she said.. that's horrible lol!!

Has anyone chose a marmite dress??

I haven't brought this dress as there's still loads more other there :-) but i am worried no-one will like it and am pretty sure H2B will shocked (not sure in a good way tho!!

    If you feel fab in it then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Personally I don't like it because I like clean lines and don't like flouncy dresses but each to their own.

    Funnily enough a friend of mine had a dress that was sort of similar with the organza layers/ruffles on the bottom and her MIL said the exact same thing during a cat walk! I'm sure her MIL loved the dress on her and probably didn't even remember it from the cat walk. My H said the colour of my dress was like baby sick.....queue tears!

    Marmite dress is agreat expression, one person may htink its hideous and another will love it which is so true with so many dresses!

    i think it realy suits you and to be fair ive seen a lotworse! so long as you are comfortable and happy with it, thats what counts!

    On your wedding day or before/afterwards? Either way, my OH would be taking some stick back for that one, i'd have been v.upset. Plus i've seen your dress, and it was a lovely colour!

    I LOVE it but I love anything that's girly, frilly or fluffy and I love Marmite too! I like big wedding dresses and I really like the slanty waist which shows your figure off amazing (amazingly?) You know what I mean!

    It is completely down to how you feel in it. I have only been to one dress shop, and have already learnt that every dress looks totally different once being worn.

    P.s. I think the dress looks fab on you

    I really like it too! I think that whatever you wear on the day your H2B will love so I wouldn't worry about that.

    I'd say try it on again and see how you feel a 2nd time. if you feel the same, its the one!

    Marmite dress! Liking that a lot. Not too keen on the dress (sorry) but it does suit you! You should get what you want and not worry what anyone else thinks!

    The simpe question is.. do you dream about this dress? if you try on other dresses and find yourself comparing it to that one?

    if the answer is yes.. go and buy the dress!! it looks beautiful, and its your day, no one elses..

    Good luck!!

    Yep i have a marmite dress!

    I have said this on various posts in the past!

    The way i look at it I LOVE it and frankly i dont care who doesn't like it, ive always dressed to suit me and not others so why should i change it just because it my wedding dress.

    I guarentee that love it or hate it, EVEYONE will remember it and talk about it!

    I was at a wedding a few weeks ago and i can't remember anything about the dress other than it had buttons down the back. It was nice but thats it, looked like many other wedding dresses out there!

    Go for what U love NOT what u think everyone else will love.
