Dress - I've been stupid (twice!)

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....

When I look, if the person says 'its too small or its too large' I still have a good look because it still shows the dress off well on a 'real' person!

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 have to agree with the hold ups... and I love that link Franny :T having said that my less-than-slender thighs mean I always end up with roll-down hold-ups which are the biggest pain in the world. Plus it has been known that on my silly irritable skin that the rubbery bits cause me to itch and scratch. Not very sexy!

Also, if you put your suspenders on over your knicks, not only will you be having trouble weeing but in thinner dresses - not necessarily wedding dresses but evening dress or whatever - the suspender "strings" bulge out more and show through the dress. The knickers over the top hold them flush against the leg.

Incidentally, Ann Summers do a gorgeous pair or knickers with the suspender bits built in. Nothing "naughty" just a very sensible idea!!
