Dress - I've been stupid (twice!)

NearlyMrsFord, if you are looking to put the dress on Ebay or Preloved etc, I know that when I am looking for the ladies here, I always prefer an acutal picture of the dress on a person. That tells me a lot about the way it hangs and the style, better than the stylised 'posed' pictures by the designers!

You see that's what worries me about selling it on preloved...I have a wedding dress that was altered incorrectly (too small for me) and I need to sell it but obviously it doesn't fit me so there isn't anyone I can put it on iyswim....

:rotfl:Oh bless your best friend!!! I'm so glad you posted that as I've never worn stockings and suspenders either (still not chosen undies yet, must get on the case!)
Sitting wrong way round on the loo could work too!

LOL - she came to me looking really red in the face, said she'd tried to have a wee (solo!!) and couldn't do it because her "braces" were in the way.....:rotfl: we soon sorted her out, but I'm sure she won't be the last to make that mistake. I'm not bothering - I'm wearing the biggest pair of tummy-sucker-knickers you have ever seen, and when my new hubby is least aware I'll be whipping them off and it's up to him whether he thinks I have gone commando all day or not!! I shall remain "elusive" about it!

OP - I agree with Franny a pic of a "real" person in the dress is defo the way to go. Can you model it and get someone to take a pic? And don't forget good old "local papers" - I know someone who struggled to sell her dress on ebay, but sold it within a few days to someone who didn't have internet access.....

Best of luck, it's lovely so I am sure someone will snaffle it up!!

Be warned i had light control pants on as my dress was silk and by the time i started eating it was getting uncomfortable...

Little tip for brides who are worrying about loo thing !!!!!

And of course don't do what my best friend did - she'd never worn suspenders and stocking before in her life, so didn't really know what to do, and put them on over her knickers, and then when she wanted a wee, she couldn't take them off and there was almost a very big puddle on the floor as she was already busting by that point!!!

:T:T:T:T:T:T

In the above sentence you have answered a question that has puzzled me for quite some time and I've always been too embarrassed to ask thinking I was a bit daft lol

I always put the knickers on first and it really annoys me undoing everything to get the knickers off :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

How silly of me ........... in fact i'm blushing a little right now

Not to put too fine a point on it bubbles, the only time they are meant/expected to be seen, you don't normally need your knickers!

Yep, its done like that because it shows the belt off better but the straps go under the knickers, better still have hold-ups

I think these would be fab under my dress
