Hello,

I’m starting a new thread because you lovely lot filled the old one with pics suggesting gorgeous dresses for- ahem- older or less-confident brides.

Thanks to you all I’m now in a position of having to choose between three I love!

Let’s hope the pics work this time!

Lovely Flowers

Pinkarsedfly · 02/05/2019 14:32

Thanks all!

I made it to Bravissimo today. Got a bit of a surprise! I started out by saying I wasn’t sure I should be there as I didn’t think I was a D. I’ve been wearing 38C.

I’m a 34E/F Shock

No wonder taking off my bra has been the highlight of my day Blush

I highly recommend the experience!

Pinkarsedfly a well fitting bra is a thing of joy, it makes you look slimmer, can improve your posture, makes your clothes fit better and best of all feels comfortable. Enjoy.

AmethystRaven · 02/05/2019 18:58

You look amazing. That dress is definitely the one! Have an absolutely wonderful day Flowers

myrtleWilson · 02/05/2019 19:04

you look amazing and am sure new bra will only add to the gorgeousness!

Enjoy every minute of your day!

Mokepon · 02/05/2019 21:52

OMG you look fucking amazing and your happiness just shines out of your face!
You look so comfortable and relaxed, I hope you have the most fantastic time and just enjoy it all.
What a joyful thread!

ItsAHardKn0ckLife1 · 02/05/2019 22:15

You look beautiful OP. Classy, elegant and quirky all rolled into one. I think your flowers will set the shoes off a treat FlowersWine

NigellaAwesome · 02/05/2019 22:33

You look wonderful. Please can you remember to post some wedding day photos on here?

CheesePuffTheMagicDragon · 02/05/2019 22:34

You look gorgeous! I'm glad you're excited now ❤️ you deserve it!

CherryCheezcake · 02/05/2019 23:01

You look so happy in the pictures!

A quick word of warning, if you bought a new right size bra to wear for the wedding, I know you've only got a couple of days, but please try wearing it as much as possible beforehand. It can feel rather tight having a smaller band, even though it's right, and might need a bit of getting used to

Pinkarsedfly · 03/05/2019 08:12

CherryCheezcake that’s good advice, I didn’t think of that. Thank you.

I’m getting married the day after tomorrow!

You look wonderful. Good luck for the big day. Congratulations! x

NigellaAwesome · 03/05/2019 21:03

Your dress is famous!

BBC News article about your dress

It looks gorgeous on the model, but you have way more attitude with it. Is your wedding this weekend? Best wishes for it.

Crafting1Queen · 03/05/2019 23:34

Oh, Pinkarsedfly, I am over the moon for you that everything has finally come together so beautifully for your Wedding on Sunday. You look amazing in your latest photos, and same as a few pp's have said that (absolutely stunning) Shetland Shawl your sister gave you (you lucky thing) really lifts the sandals, and ties the whole outfit together, so even if you're not initially wearing it to arrive/get married in, but taking it in case you just need a wee extra layer after the Ivy, it means your peonies will be stunning with your dress etc.

I love your something old, new, borrowed and blue. I was going to suggest jewellery for your old/borrowed, the Anglo-Saxon ring is perfect and a lovely nod to your Fiancé. Even more touching (I actually got wee bit choked up when I read it) is carrying his late Father's embroidered hanky, what a lovely way to remember and honour him.

For your virtual hen doo tonight, I got a little bit dressed up, slicked on some lippy & cracked open a bottle of champagne, aswell as having it straight up, I mixed it up by then popping in a strawberry, and later creme de cassis in with it. I may or may not have cracked open a 2nd bottle, I will never tell, and you can't make me, hic. Grin.

I hope now that everything is sorted, and after your initial stresses over trying to find your dress etc, that you are now able to be chilling out, can relax and just enjoy these last 24/36hours before your big day with your lovely family and friends around you. I hope your Mum is keeping better and is fit and able to be there on your big day too.

We are all looking forward to seeing some pics of you all on your big day (when you are free/able to post them of course) and we''ll be thinking of you on Sunday.

Last but not least, fab news about your Bravissimo purchase, and now you're wearing the correct size etc, you will look even more fabulous than you do already in your update pic. Only going to say one more thing about it - is it red by any chance …..???? LOL.

Pinkarsedfly · 04/05/2019 00:04

Crafting1Queen cheers!
We’ve been choosing our music tonight. Not easy, as our tastes are poles apart!
No red bra! They didn’t have one! But it’s a lovely dusky pink shade. I don’t think he’ll mind Wink
