Yesterday I took the Mother and Mother-in-Law to be to see a dress I'd tried on previously with a freind. I still liked it, they both liked it. Yeay!
It's exactly what i wanted in a dress which I thought was going to be impossible to find as up until then I'd only come across strapless dresses that all looked the same or fishtales which are beautiful dresses but don't look that great with my perfectly capable child bearing hips (which reasures me for the future). I wanted the 50's shape, high neck like a boat neck in lace. Audrey Hepburn style. With long or 3/4 length sleeves. Sweetheart neckline underneath the lace. Fitted at the waist and flares out into a 50's style skirt but not a tea lenth. I wanted floor length.
I didn't go very far a-field, that may have been my problem. I stayed around the Nottinghamshire area. Looking at other blogs about weddings and such i have seen things I liked. But then the reality of trying on dresses wasn't what I expected. So some tips for any newly engaged ladies. Don't expect to find the perfect dress straight away and go further afield if you need, to give you some more scope.
I won't post any pictures of it yet but after the wedding I will put all the pictures together so that everyone can have a good nosey.
