  • Ive tried a few dresses on - but mainly to get my 'average' size if I order online. They have all been beady and to me it just doesnt go well on me. i got told by a friend of mine last night that i should see if any bridesmaid dresses are to my fancy and chose one in ivory - but I'm still unsure
    Got married on 1st August :beer:

    thank you to everyone on the weddings and anniversary forum xxx

    Ah that is lovely. You'll have a fab time!

    Who sas you have left it too late for your dress?? I chose my dress in October but only went to get measured and ave it ordered last Sat. The lady in the shop said that it should come in at the end of May. That still gives me 2 months for any alterations etc.

    I'm sure all shops work differently but I honestly wouldn't panic yet! Just get motivated to go and look in the next couple of weeks.

    I found my dream dress in the first shop I went in and it ws the first one I tried on! I tried another 10 on afterwards to be sure but non came even slightly close to how I felt in the first one!

    I know, I was fine until last night and had this dream, must have been playing on my mind. Ive already picked the one I want online but Im going to try on some dresses on Monday so can have an idea of what the style looks like then will look to order it.

    Good Evening Ladies,

    Nic - your dress is soooo beautiful. You have a great figure for it :)

    Val - Get dress hunting!!! I couldn't wait to start looking and that's how I ended up with mine at the end of August lol

    What is everyone doing about underwear? I don't have the largest chest in the world, and have a strapless dress, so would like a bit of padding lol. I've been looking online but can't really find any underwear that I particularly like. Can you lovely ladies recommend anywhere??

    I want a strapless bra as I feel naked without one but haven't got a clue where to get it from. The back of my dress comes fairly low tbh.
