Just bought it for a wedding I'm going to, and personally, I love it!

But, what do you think? And what's your favourite dress to wear on special occasions?

Love the dress, but wouldn't wear black to a wedding personally.

It's not black, it's a dark green - that picture isn't very good. Think this is a better one, although it's actually of me Shock so be kind, please :)

That dress is from Monsoon, isn't it? If it is the teal lace one (which it looks like), then I bought it for a 'cocktail dress' event and it was lovely to wear and complimented on (I wore it with a gold belt). However, beware - I washed it as per the instructions and it shrunk badly - I believe this also happened to other according to the comments on the Monsoon website. In the end I had to take it back and got by money back as there was no saving it.

Aww, thank you all - hopefully a bit more weight will come off by the date I need to wear it in public and I won't shy away from being in photos :)

I just wish I'd been able to do the zip up on the size 14 instead of having to go to my normal size!
