Another dress worry!!

Violetta_2

Thanks everyone, just nipped on (can't keep away, I popped it in a duvet cover & placed it over a high backed chair in our bedroom, will have a look later to see if it might be worth stitching stronger/thicker ribbon somewhere , maybe top of the skirt?? to hang it up with?
Glad you like my backup dress snuggles, wondering when I'll get to wear it, maybe have a special dinner 1 evening when we are on honeymoon, anyhoo it's from swirl clothing on ebay it is a size 22-28 on though, but it is amazingly flattering on, they only have it in white listed at the mo, but email the seller I just missed 1 so emailed her & she listed 1 especially for me.

Thank you Violetta, I am a larger lady, so am looking for something flattering but special! I will have a look at the link.

Hope you have a fabulous wedding day x

Glad your dress arrived. You could use two hangers to take the strain. One ordinary one with loops attached and a trouser hanger to grip it. Put some padding on the grips so it doesn't mark the dress.

Did you get your shoes?

you must be so excited and happy you got your dress - it's really lovely.
beautiful colour too - i'm hoping to have my flowergirls in that colour.

I might give that a go with the trouser hangers, well I have the silver shoes I posted previously & I have ordered These in purple, I tried them on in schuh but they were too small & they look much sweeter in real life than they do online so hoepfully either pair will do.
My bridesmaid is coming round tomorrow we are going for a haircut at 11 then after we will have a dress trying on session I'm hoping the undies I have work with the dress. I will let you know.
I have calmed down & thanks everyone for being so kind to me over the past few day's, don't know what I'd have done without you.:beer:

It's next Friday, so not long now!!! Not as happy with my DD's dress but luckily thanks to a wonderful dressmaker known to a few of us on here I have a backup 1 for her 2 I will post pic's of her dresses over the weekend.
The colour is lush isn't it, I think the dress looks a right state in the photos though.

some clothes dont look so good when theyre hanging - they look much better on - especially dresses. i've noticed this when i've been shopping for normal dresses before.

your dress does look lovely already though - i'm sure it'll be beautiful on.
Thats a shame about your DD's dress.
i've been looking at landy for my dress, bridesmaids, and saw a few on ebay for flowergirls. it's a bit scary just looking at pictures and hoping it'll turn up looking just as lovely. but if it saves a few pennies, i'll try it! going to try on a few dresses in october when mum comes down to visit - want to see what style suits me first

assuming you have now taken pics off as it says 'pics unavailable' now.

But I'm glad it arrived and you are happy! yay!
