Hello!

I wonder if someone can help, i have fallen off the SW wagon, i haven't been for over a month, have had a difficult time with the sudden death of a couple of friends and some other bits, i tried to keep going but i just couldn't do it. Does anyone know how long i have to wait before i can rejoin? - it will be cheaper than paying my missed weeks iyswim. TIA x

-Well done to everyone you're all doing so well! x

You can go back at any time and the most you would ever have to pay is 2 weeks back fees so whether you rejoin or pay it will cost about the same (£9.95). Don't forget you have 6 weeks holidays to come in any one year so maybe you could use your hols for your missed weeks.

Cobblers - they only want you to make a snap decision. I nearly fell for it too.

Most wedding dresses are ready in 16 weeks (4m - you have to have it earlier than your wedding date in case of adjustments needed - especially if the shop don't have a seamstress on site) but the shop I bought mine in said they can ALWAYS do a rush order, so it's no problem! Mine will be delivered within 12 weeks (3m) from date of order - and then I still have 6 weeks in order to lose more weight - I can have it taken in until 2 days before the wedding as they do it all in the shop.

It can take time to get round all the shops though so do start now so you at least know the style you want - it's not hard to spend a minimum of 4 hours in each shop!

Thanks for that. I am not letting any of the shops rush me into making a quick decision. I have tried on loads of lovely dresses but not sure I have found the one yet.........if I ever will!! I still have more appointments booked and am taking some different friends for second viewings.
How long did choosing take yours? Did you know when you had found the perfect dress? What about sizing etc? Sorry for all of the questions

Skint_Catt

You know when you find the right dress. I went to my 2nd shop and picked out about 6/7 dresses - then found that I'd picked out 'the one' twice! It was meant to be
It's very baffling but don't be afraid to try on one dress again and again if you want to!
The dress you decide on will always be ordered by your sizing now. This is so worse case scenario you don't lose anything - all dresses can go in or out by up to 2 dress sizes. It's not ordered by 'dress size' - it's ordered by your personal measurements. I so can't wait to get my dress through though I hope it'll be too big by then 8 weeks :eek:
I've only just bought my shoes - dictated by OH's height so I don't tower over him! My underwear will just consist of pretty knickers (tmi?!) as you can't wear a corset inside a boned dress and I won't need a bra as it's sooo structured (for the first time in my life!). I don't want to do stockings as I'm hoping for the hottest day of the year & my dress is already v heavy.
Ask away - I wish i'd had someone to ask. So many people think you know what you're doing - but most of us only plan this once!
