I think it is going to look great, and what a bargain!

Sillysarah49 · 13/03/2014 17:51

It looks absolutely fab - well done you!

callamia · 13/03/2014 17:52

Oh, it's cute!
I love a short wedding dress.

Is it too late to return?

baskingseals · 13/03/2014 17:52

You look gorgeous, and have just the right figure for it. What kind of shoes and flowers were you thinking of?

pippop1 · 13/03/2014 17:53

Looks better on you than on the model.

EyelinerQueen · 13/03/2014 17:54

It looks fabulous!

And you look all 50's and hourglassy. You need some bright shoes and accessories.

Love it!

OneLittleLady · 13/03/2014 17:54

I think you look great. Congratulations Thanks

Snapespeare · 13/03/2014 17:55

It's really cute. Very understated. I like it!

I'd wear it with red shoes. :-)

eurochick · 13/03/2014 17:56

I love it! It really does look better on you than the model.

Yama · 13/03/2014 17:57

I like it.

looks really fab, calls for sky high heels!

TheSitChewAceChien · 13/03/2014 18:00

I agree with pippop, it does look better on you than the model. Lovely!
Congratulations Smile

Jacksterbear · 13/03/2014 18:02

Agree it looks better on you than on the model - you look amazing. Love it.

hoboken · 13/03/2014 18:02

It's lovely! Another vote for it looking better on you than on the model.

furlinedsheepskinjacket · 13/03/2014 18:05

i agree re model

its lovely

Velve · 13/03/2014 18:05

It looks so much better on you than the model. It's lovely.

HootHootTootToot · 13/03/2014 18:06

I LOVE it on you and I 100% agree that it looks better on you than on the model.
It is beautiful. Smile How will you do your hair?

specialsubject · 13/03/2014 18:20

very pretty! Make sure you can walk properly in the shoes you choose, the 'pregnant duck' walk may be fashionable but it isn't a good look!

(and doesn't it show up why models should smile? The sulky face really makes the dress look awful!)

I wish you a lovely day and every happiness.

Allalonenow · 13/03/2014 18:22

Oh it's fab! Do have your hair up to show off the deep cut back. Are you going to get an underskirt that will frill out the skirt a bit? What about shoes, if you don't fancy red what about gold?

strawberryblondebint · 13/03/2014 18:23

Awwwwww blush I'm so pleased. I'm totally up for hair and shoe ideas. Can't do high shoes but may make the effort. I want a brooch bouquet though. Any excuse to trawl charity shops. I have a thing for green shoes. Is this possible.
Atsea79 Confused
It's my second go at this wedding malarkey and I'm totally doing it all my way only.
Yey I have the frock!!!!!
Incidentally whilst I was trying that on and taking selfies my two year old pooed in the bath for the first time (proud). ... Only on mumsnet lol
