Well, after only 2 weeks of looking I finally got my dress! I started dress shopping last saturday and thought that i'd found the dress.. it was black and ivory and sooo unusual, annoyingly it didn't fit and i wasn't convinced that if it was altered it would still look good.

nyway, at the weekend I went to a shop someone had told me about which was currently having a relocation sale. I must have tried on about 15 dresses, but i found it, i found the actual one! it made me look so slim! I feel in love, and my mum and the people in the shop told me that i'd be stupid if i didn't buy it! so i bought it.. it should have cost about £1000, but in the sale it had been reduced to £295! bargain!

heres the dress http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww160/rlmann1/24.jpg?t=1247038142

I also managed to find some gorgeous shoes in a wedding outlet shop, should have been £129, but had been reduced to £5! http://www.gabriellaandlucido.com/pages/shoe_estella.html

yey! was a productive week!
Now a married lady and loving it! Now..to clear that pesky mortgage! :beer:

    Your dress is absolutely fabulous. I'm sure you look a million dollars in it. No one will ever believe you when you tell them how much it cost.
