I'm having to sell the dress :-(

Anyone remember recently I bought a new dress on Ebay for my friend's wedding? I fell in love with it but due to taking the pill my boobies have grown and it's an inch too tight on the zip now. I only have a few weeks until the wedding so I didn't dare risk losing out money wise as money's tight right now so I've put it back on ebay along with some more of my clothes. Really gutted but needs must I have a watcher already so that's a good start.....I hope!

here it is

Oh gutting, could you get the 14 from ebay and see if it fits?

no CC because it fit well on the bum etc... it's only the boobs.
Anyway I may make enough to buy another dress and will probably get something that'll go with a jacket I have so I'll save that way.

I'd love to wear red but don't know if I dare? The wedding theme is red and gold.

TigerFeet · 08/10/2007 15:56

minimiser bra? got to be worth a try if you love the dress

I hadn't thought of that? If it doesn't sell then I'll try it, thanks.

Someone's bid on the Jane norman top I'm selling too. I've got some Boden trousers to put on later so may make enough to buy another dress and maybe some shoes?
I'm going to go to town to buy them though as daren't risk buying online so close to the wedding.

that is a smashing frock U, pity to sell it, how about coming off the pill for a few weeks?

Oh can't come off the pill as DP is over this month for two months. He lives in the US and I haven't seen him since beginning of August so need to take it
I'll just get another one that's a bit more autumnal too.

only 22 hours to go and then I'll know what it went for. I paid 26.10 for it so anything near to that would be good. Sold a few things so my paypal account is looking healthier

Just looked at your dress and it is up to £43 - that was a good buy!

UlySCREAMS · 13/10/2007 12:20

Yes really happy with final sale, £43. It's the spanish lady who first bid. I've got boden trousers on there finishing in 2 days so should get a few pounds for them?
Then I can transfer to my bank and buy a new dress

Really pleased as only one item hasn't got a bid yet, Wallis top, and that still has 2 hours left. I've definitely made enough for a dress
