    i too was gonna go to china but time caught up with me and i wouldn't have been comfy with the nerves so bought in shop. had a small windfall and it was between a car (i am a new driver!) and a dress. spoke to h2b and he said dress so toddled off to the shop next day and bought the dress of my dreams. I feel ill everytime i think about how much i spent but it made my cbm cry when she saw me in it so i am pretty certain its 'the one'. :) i got a 10% discount for paying cash and really hope i don't need any alterations. depends on how controlled i can stay over teh next few months! if my measurements are accurate, they reckon i won't need any. so fingers crossed. xx

    My dress was origionally close to 3k! I got it for £950 inc alterations in the shops sample sale. As i bought it from the designer in her own shop it made the whole experience really special. :)
