  • Ha ha ha, well. The dress sounds amazing, i didnt feel comfortable asking the name in case she thought i'd shop around for it or something.

    She was really sweet, asked how I was coping/feeling, BLESS. And am booked in to see it on Saturday!!!!!!!! Only downside is it is £699, but if it fits and is great then I owe Pickle a HUGE thankyou and favour!!!

    Even if it's fab and a touch too big - you can get alterations done in time (I know you're probably scared off them for life but this shop should be able to do them for you, and do them well). :)

    Good luck on Saturday!
  • Have got to go to shop now LOL, will have to run, as have left it too late to walk - hee hee.

    Am going to stock up on jackets, and my Muller Lights - YUMMY xxxxxx

    Will be back in a bit to get some back up plans xxxx

    Arrr im glad. I hope you love it now. Shame about the price, but you could sell the dress you had made? I'd haggle a bit on Saturday aswell if you love it. They can only say no.

    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

    If you can swing the money and do find an alternative dress, I would definitely go with that option. Although it's feasible to lose weight quickly it will be putting a big pressure on yourself at a stressful enough time. But if you don't find a new dress we'll all be here to encourage you on with the diet/exercise. :)

    These are at Stanford Le Hope (10 mins from Lakeside) and they have over 100 dresses in their sale rail, and they stock up to size 34, may be worth a shout?
