    I think he may have already posted once or twice, don't think he's a regular though as all the regular's have posted at some point when I know he's busy!

    I know it's a bit early to start looking but I'm bored and excited and going mad because I can't tell anyone... but looky at the pretty dress! This is the dress I want...today! I've got 2 years to change my mind more or less everyday so we're talking a good 700+ dresses! God, that's a long time to wait in dress terms!

  • Very nice Birdie!! Is it only one strap? Promise me when you come to wedding dress shopping you'll try on a few meringues, just for fun!

    It looks like a one-strapper. I can't have anything off the shoulder/bustier type as I am sadly a member of the Itty Bitty Titty Comittee!

    Don't you worry, I'll be trying on every meringue in the shop, the bigger the better! I went with SiL (to be!) to look for dresses for her and it was great fun, she's only tiny and some of the dresses were as wide as she is tall!

    Ooooh I like that one Birdie, very elegant. I want to see all the options, love pretty frocks. You'd have to be tall and willowy for it to work, wouldn't work if you were 5ft nothing and a little portly!

    Does strapless work on anyone?! I thought bustier was for the bustless! I need straps to give support and be comfortable enough. Strapless just cuts into me and gives me creepy dual boobs.
