Viking Princess turns Miss Piggy - with MEGA FLASH!!!!!

VikingPrincess, 16 April, 2011 at 19:53 Posted on Planning 0 29

OK all, the wait is over.

TONIGHT...

FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY...

VIKING PRINCESS IS...MISS PIGGY!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dresstease:


Ta-daaaaa:


Detail:




Now have 8 months to get into the dress!!! Excuse the porky face, was uncomfortable trying to keep the dress on so I look like my double chin is enormous!!!

The shoes had arrived too but they are very tight, although they are a 4 which is what i wear. They wouldn't change them as they said they don't stock them, they ordered them specially, and also when i got home i notice one single little diamante missing from the thingy on the right shoe (see below). I am scared they are gonna think I took the stone off myself on purpose so i can bring them back because i had already told them they're too tight ☹️


Despite the height they are incredibly comfy and easy to walk in (well, apart from my toes having gone numb in 4 minutes flat but that was because they were so tight at the front. Wouldn't think so looking at them as they're quite rounded but although I am a 4 normally I have quite wide feet at the front so it may be that...They go lovely with the dress, just love them! But I will have to take them back and swap them for a 4 and a half!!!

Happy overall. Especially ecstatic as BMs found THE ONE too, all three squealed like little girls when they tried it on, they ALL looked lovely in it, despite being one a size 12, the second a 14 and the third a 20-22! And ... IT'S NOT SATIN! I completely renounce satin after seeing them in the lovely chiffon dress from Alexia designs they tried today. Problem is I can't find anywhere a pic as they a re brand new spring 2011 models, just arrived in shop last week apaprently!

    I am very positive I will be. My MOH has been doing Weight Watchers for 3 months and lost tons of weight (post-baby weight) and she said she wanted to give some support so because I can't afford to go to meetings etc at the moment, she gave me her books and stuff and we are both weighing ourselves on Tuesday (that's when her meetings are) and she'll be my "leader" and help me do it... I have lost before 4 stone on my own but it is easier with a friend!

    Thanks, Mini! xxx

    Loooooove the detail on your dress, so pretty! And it suits you perfectly. The shape really makes your waist look tiny. You'll lose whatever weight you want, so don't panic. I've tried and tried for years to slim down with no success but this year dropped 2 stone with barely any effort at all. I did Slimming World for a bit but couldn't keep up with the meetings because of childcare stuff, but still following the basic principal of making sure that every meal contains 1/3 vegetables (basically their 'super free' food), so I'm filling up on that stuff and feel naturally less inclined towards richer, calorie-laden stuff. And I've gone off booze :/

    Wow, lovely dress - love the sparkly detail. It suits you.

    Good luck with the weight-loss - I found the minute I ordered my dress it spurned me on to losing weight like never before.

    @SKYBRIGHT: Unless they have them in the shop you're ordering them from and you can try them on, I'd recommend ordering them online directly from Rainbow so you cans end them back if they don't fit. The beauty of rainbow is that they are amongst the very few places that still do half sizes. 5s were too big for me but 4s are too small now.

    Ah hello date twin!

    You look fabulous in your dress, it is so pretty! Love the detail on it as well.

    I had been eyeing up those shoes too but a little out of my budget - but I feel better knowing someone will be wearing them on 23rd! xxx

    UPDATE on shoes:

    I managed to get them exchanged. I wrote to Rainbow Club and asked them if they could help as when my size 4 shoes arrived they were incredibly tight but the manager of the shop said she couldn't send them back as they were specially ordered (now I don't know if this was true or she just couldn't be asked to send them back) and then i emailed the manager of the shop and told her about the letter. She said that had I told her about the diamante she would have sent them back. I said I didn't know til I got home and looked at them properly. She left a voice mail and emaile me as well today to say that the Customer Services manager at Rainbow rang her and told her they're sending a 4.5 pair and when it gets in the shop, the shop manager can ring me to bring my size 4s back in and send them back...

    Goes to show, if you don't ask, you don't get!

    Believe you me, they were a bit out of my budget! Initially I was going to have the ones below ("Merlot", also from Rainbow) which were about half the price of the current ones, but I loved these so much, we literally cut our weekly shopping food budget and i put the savings towards the shoes!!! Crazy, i know!

    The Merlot:


    As you can see, both are very high and both have platforms, which makes them easier to wear! I am 5ft1 so I really NEEDED height! My OH is 5ft10!
