    Gorgeous Val - absolutely stunning!!!

    ps.....what were the value of the dresses on the postage label Val? I've just had an invoice from DHL for my import tax for the pricely sum of £3.64 (value of dresses on package was $38)

    Thanks rinroo, I had all the dresses custom made and 2 of the BMS tried them on yesterday and they fit perfectly, apparently the fitted corset is really good in them aswell. The only other thing I will say is the matierial around the middle seems a bit 'loose' its not a problem it just seems like that because the corset is separate on the inside if Im making any sense

    The boning on my dress isnt great so Im going to buy a corset to go underneath

    If you want anymore photos of the BMS dresses to have a closer look at anything PM me your email address and Ill take some more for you

    Try Corset Boulevard on E-Bay for your corset, I got an underbust one for 29.99 which is steel boned and then got a Panache strapless bra in debenhams which was a good one as some of them are useless and really uncomfortable. you can get an overbust one as well but suppose it depends on how bit your assets are LOL. :D

    Hi,

    My corset came yesterday...ordered off ebay - shop called corset junction...was the white heavy steel boned one if you have a look...cant post link sorry.

    But any way...it is amazing...im considering buying one in every colour...supprisingly comfy and did the trick perfectly!

    think i paid £34.00 for it if i remember...will double check and also post item number ect.

    Definatly worth a look!!
