    wow, what a bargain! What are you planning on wearing with it (jewellerywise)?
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Sounds wonderful - I' def go with the ribbon iea - I was planning on doing that if I had a corset back. The reason I ask is that jewellery can sometimes be an oversight and with a strapless dress it can really make or break an outfit!

    Have you considered a hair facinator (sp?) the feathery sparkly bit you can wear instead of a hat? You could have one of those in hot pink and black, and maybe give bridesmaids a matching one.

    I love the fact that even with such a bargain, you're getting the dry cleaning for free as well - Martin would be proud!
