Dd is getting married at the end of September.
Today I went to a posh shop in our nearest city.
I'm the wrong side of 60. Only 5ft tall and a size 18 with a flabby belly. Plus I'm only just getting over breast cancer so boobs are lobsided.
DH was with me and we were both dressed in our minds well turned out.
DH stood to one side while I was looking through the dresses, when one of the assistants came over and the first words were that these dresses cost over £300 so if I want to look at the rails at the back they MIGHT be in my price range.
Fortunately DH overheard and is quicker than me gave a good reply.
He said 'my wife has £1000 to spend on an outfit for our daughters wedding and if your stock is only about £300 this is not the shop for her'.
We then left. He was only joking about the £1k. I wanted to go home as I was so upset but he persuaded me to carry on shopping.
After 3 other shops with nothing I liked I came across another posh shop and they couldn't have been more helpful. I chose a dress but parts of it were not working well with my body. They are going to alter it to fit just need to return in August.
And it cost £450 and that includes a hair accessory. Just bag and shoes to get.
Why that assistant was so rude I don't know. Thank goodness no one else was in the shop to hear her say that.
