    Aw cheers wanchai! Yes I've got the lilac shade in the pic, it is better in real life actually. Love love love it. I just want to wear it all the time, or failing that, talk about it all the time! It makes a great noise. The back is really cool, it's got loads of tiny buttons and it's got a bit of a train, nothing massive but just big enough to be special iyswim! It makes a great swishing noise... I'm not sure about the bolero though, think I am going to change it.

    I think the bolero is fab! Totally love it. May I ask how much it cost? :o

    think it's about £2200, I actually got it for free, long story, I have seen them on preloved and ebay for a lot less, also sellmyweddingdress.com.

  • I too now have my IS dress - it is 'the' one for me, I just adore it! I bought this one for such a bargain price:

    Like you RobinRed I just want to wear it all the time. I love your dress too, I was tempted by that one as well - I love your accessories. I need to start thinking about these too :-)

    One downside - it fits in the hips and waist but is too tight around the back. Think I may have to get it altered into a corset back - anyone any ideas as to how much this might cost?!
  • Oh saac yours is so gorge! Have you got it in that colour? I love that colour. I bet yours is even better than the pic! What's the back like? I don't know about the alteration costs, I took a bridesmaid's dress to a seamstress a while ago to have it taken in, they said £49, I didn't keep the bm dress in the end though. Can you walk in yours? Mine is too long even with heels, I want it taken up but not from the bottom iyswim, I want the flare to start a bit higher, not sure if that would be possible, was thinking of getting a hoop...

    Wow - what a gorgeous dress.:)
  • Does anyone else think the dress in the Nina Ricci ad must be by IS? http://asmallinsight.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/nina-ricci-new-advert-xxx/

    I'm not sure that it would be Robinred, probably Nina Ricci couture.
