Before you all say don’t be ridiculous, you’ll look like the bride- there is no bride- it’s a gay wedding. I love this. lOVE it. Could get the floral one but of COURSE I want the cream one. Can I???????

Fabulous OP!

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 12/02/2022 15:28

Needle and Threat always come up TINY.

But, you look Fabulous.

Kenworthington · 12/02/2022 15:29

Oh god do they? At least it’s not just me. I feel like a total heifer now 😩

What @JoyOrbison said.

If you’re exchanging it anyway, consider trying the red one. Think you would look absolutely smoking in it.

Dogsandbabies · 12/02/2022 15:29

I have been following your thread and haven't commented but I feel now I have to! You look AMAZING! I hope you get one that fits and you have the best day with your son and his husband.

ps. When I read you message exchanges with your son I thought, I really hope when my sons grow up I have that kind of relationship with them.

TrickyD · 12/02/2022 15:37

Just added DH if he liked it. He said it looks like an albatross chick.
I think I see what he means.

MusicByTheLake · 12/02/2022 15:38

I also think the red would be better. I think your tattoos look too harsh against the pale colour of this one.

Eycaluptus · 12/02/2022 15:41

Well I love it! And now I want it!

Eycaluptus · 12/02/2022 15:41

You look crackin'!!!!

TrickyD · 12/02/2022 15:41

I meant ‘asked’ not ‘added’. Anyway everyone on MN knows DHS’ opinions are worthless.

TheGratefulBread · 12/02/2022 15:42

It is a fabulous dress OP, really hope you can get another size.

I love Needle and Thread, apart from the sizing, it does (as someone has already said) run small. I've actually got one of their dresses (Iris cotton smocked ankle gown) for my twin sons' B'nai Mitzvah (the name for a Bar Mitzvah when it's more than one boy) in a fortnight. I'm in the third trimester of pregnancy at the moment, but because of the fit of some of their dresses, was able to get one that accommodates my bump nicely. I just hope no-one accuses me of trying to upstage my sons on such an important occasion! Wink

RussianSpy101 · 12/02/2022 15:46

@TrickyD they say there’s someone for everyone. Seems fitting you and your husband found one another.

@Kenworthington you look AMAZING!!! I knew you would! PS you’re far too young and glam to wear ANYTHING from phase eight EVER

lovelylittlesunflower · 12/02/2022 15:46

@Kenworthington

Here we go….
You look amazing. Like a Viking warrior lady. Looks so ace with your tattoos and hair!
Momijin · 12/02/2022 15:50

You look amazing 🥰

BelleNoir · 12/02/2022 15:55

@Kenworthington

He then also said

‘Red one is lush!’

I agree the red one is absolutely gorgeous
Theblacksheepandme · 12/02/2022 15:56

You look fantastic OP. You look really slim in it.

cultkid · 12/02/2022 16:01

OP

I think the cream or red will look better with your tattoos x

lemondrop21 · 12/02/2022 16:03

Absolutely not. It's very bridal. You're not a bride.

LovedayCL · 12/02/2022 16:05

@Kenworthington

Here we go….
You look amazing!
Kenworthington · 12/02/2022 16:06

I’m too old to look like a bride @lemondrop21

EmmaJR1 · 12/02/2022 16:07

I think it's absolutely stunning. Ask your son and his husband to be. If they like it then great.

Just to reiterate - it's amazing and gorgeous!

Kenworthington · 12/02/2022 16:08

They like it, I like it, dd (17) likes it. IT doesn’t like me. It’s already boxed up to be sent back

BestIsWest · 12/02/2022 16:10

I think it’s beautiful and you look amazing in it. Hope you can get a different size.

It looks really beautiful on you. you have to order the bigger size
StripyLlama · 12/02/2022 16:24

Won’t you upstage the bride? 😂😂😂 I’m joking.

I love it. Absolutely wear the dress. And please can I borrow it after the wedding, for no occasion whatsoever?
