THE DRESS!
Well, as mentioned above, my mum and I have been out dress shopping. We went out one day last week, and I tried on a few dresses, but nothing took my breath away. As mentioned in my first posts on page 1, I want a tea length dress. I just love the look of them, and think they look so comfortable compared with a long dress. Even having a long dress on in the wedding shops for a few minutes, i found them heavy and uncomfortable, but the tea length ones were swingy and twirly and fun
The 2 dresses i posted on my first page are out - the first one I can only find 1 stockist of it, but they no longer have a sample. I had found another company who stocked it in Kent, and they did a home delivery trial service, so last week I ordered it for home trial, and paid then £25. The second dress is by a dress maker in brighton, I simply cant afford trips down there as well as the cost of the dress.
In the meantime, I had 2 more appointments on Monday just gone. The first shop was a vintage wedding dress specialist, who has a massive selection of vintage dresses (genuine vintage, not just vintage style) as well as a collection of 50's style dresses. I told her what I wanted - big, tulle skirt, lace top, possibly a pink waistband, and within 10 minutes she had me in the dress of my dreams
I cant show you a picture of the actual dress because its basically going to be customised to my specification, but its STUNNING! My mum knew straight away it was the one as well, because she said even though I had tried others I liked, in this dress I was beaming!
I decided there and then that it was the one, and arranged to make payment to hold my spot for next year (its an independent shop with just the 1 girl running it so she can only take so many clients!).
It wasnt until we left the shop that my mum reminded me of the other dress that was due to arrive for a home trial the following day. BUT, as fate would have it, when I got home, I checked my emails and I had an email to say they were refunding my money because they didnt have it in stock any longer. IT WAS FATE!
So the dress is done
Seeing as I can't show you some wedding dress prettiness, I shall show you some bridesmaid dress ideas...
