Zippy do you think we could win a joint prize for the 'dress most flashed'?

no comparison pics sorry but haven't flashed in ages (haven't been on much - mega busy at work etc) I've got my fitting on June 19th!!

PG + Zippy - you'll get a joint award in this year's awards LOL

Phew! lol

I'm just crap at keeping secrets so on here is the only way I get to share my dress secret. x

I think we should get that award!!

I'm crap at keeping secrets too. So many times I have wanted to show it to h2b!!

Ned to keep this thread going!, going to try and get a pic of me in my dress this wkend and post the 2 pics and see what your think ?

Zippy when it comes in in September I'm going to make you do the model pose like this pic so we can compare! ?

Me to and I actually asked if he wanted to see it and I would have shown him had he said yes!

Anybody can 'model', it doesn't take that much to make someone look spectacular. Just a bit of TLC in taking the image and a good make up artist/stylist. If you've got the confidence to go in front of the camera you're half way there!

To be fair on everyone the amount of post work that goes into publication images is far more than people realise. A retouched image can take hours to work on and doesn't even resemble the model in real life afterwards...

I realise this is in fun, but it can demoralise some people into thinking they have to look like the models.

It can also show people that the dress on a model can look completely different on a "real bride" & perhaps not to go into a shop with a set idea of the style of dress you want because they do look very different. As for demoralising brides no not everyone is a size 8 with model looks, but every bride looks amazing on her wedding day!! You used the word in your above post "FUN", this is just a bit of fun & a chance for Zippy & PG to flash their dresses again!!! ?

Oh go on then...

model (skinny coo)

obviously broochless and not sitting right and not shortened but........

Any excuse to flash, I will never be this slim but I have lost weight since this picture was taken so waiting for when I am in it totaly before next picture taken

x

Haha...I did this too!

When we did it last time nobody was demoralised. In fact, everyone agreed that we all looked far better than the size 'stupidly skinny' models.

I have no dress to flash a pic of me in yet but thought I'd add that I love everyones dresses and you'll all knock the socks off your H2B's when they do eventually see you in them!

Zippy and PG, I know I'll be exactly the same. Am shocking for keeping secrets like this! I once arranged a weekend away for OH's birthday and did really well until 2 days before we left when I accidently told him we were going to Paris - am a nightmare!

I think most folk know these 'models' are airbrushed, stretched and re-moulded into probably impossible and unrealistic proportions for the glossy mag photos ... and why do they insist they pose in such rediculous ways??! Although 'my' model below seems to have got away with doing the back breaking 'lean back' pose with arms flailing like a broken windmill ....

Model - urgh!

Me - lost a stone since this pic

me at first try on, length needs adjusting. 33 days, eek!

Oh I love the dress flashes! I've never seen some of the pics on the models before, some of them do look really different on! Mrsp2be2009, I love your dress, that's the first time I've seen it, it's lovely.

I never usually flash, but sod it!

Here is my dress on the model -

And when I tried it on (with half a head! lol!)-

I couldn't NOT flash!

Model: (for some reason it's not letting me add the picture)

Me:

Here is mine:

Think all You dresses are cracking. Cant wait till i have something to flash.

Tahdah who is your dress by. I am looking for something similar and having a nightmare with it!

ETA Ignore me. I realise now if i click on the link it takes me to the sight.
