..does it make my arse look enormous and the dress a bit meh?

The Dress

I was thinking with fantastic necklace, a shrug, fascinator and incredible shoes.

I want to wear this to get married and party (low-key, low-key, low-key) in June.

Obviously I need a different bra (duh)

SO whaddya think?

I need a re-cap... so no wrap?

which shoes?

flowers vs crystals in hair?

I am enjoying this thread.

Pale pink peonies eh. mmm. (quick google) they're nice dp wants to decorate the house with sunflowers cos they are his favourite flower.

Tilly. That dress is amazing and you will look incredibly beautiful! Yes blue mood would be very good for you, though I think possibly something less twiddly for your dress.

sunflowers? bless him but never let a man loose on a wedding...

bit 1989 if you ask me....

paeonies... Or you can have em darker (lovely in deep red which would be quite nice with the red soles on your lovely Louboutins...)

S1ur · 30/03/2008 22:57

I think 'something blue' for you tilly. It's lovely

Thanks.. Gotta go - am being called to bed (to sleep - obviously )

Kindersurprise · 30/03/2008 23:00

Something blue is lovely, Tilly, would really suit your dress.

Here are the peonies. Very nice with Slur's dress.

This is a great thread.

Going to steal some ideas for my SIL if you don't mind.

S1ur · 30/03/2008 23:01

right recap.

No wrap.

Those amazing shoes (but really probably can't afford it so may have to substitute, sob)

Something like this for hair although I still like these
and these

Once again thank you wonderful people.

Slur you look stunning - the bits of you in the picture - you're going to look wonderful!

Kindersurprise · 30/03/2008 23:02

Goodnight Tilly.

I am off too, it is already midnight here. Goodnight all.

cadelaide · 30/03/2008 23:03

Slur, I love that dress

S1ur · 30/03/2008 23:03

Ah Kinder, yes those flowers are lovely (side steps difficult spelling) Steal away people have been incredibly informative and stylish here tonight.

Night Tilly and Wats, thank you both so much

Thank you Boco and Cadelaide. I honestly really appreciate it, I was feeling really down about it all before. Now feeling very chipper

Night Kinder and cheers

lol cod but actrually probably better pic without head since my face makeup will be letting me down. Cos I am very bad at it. really, I need that lass off youtube.

Did you ntoe that it was me who wanted to trial make up for you

Aitch · 30/03/2008 23:09

evidently she has a face like a bag of spanners, cod. the good news is that Boco's already found her the perfect yashmak so you'll just see her enormous furry eyebrows peeking out over the top.

S1ur · 30/03/2008 23:13

heh wanker

I'm not really a minger but I am hapless at makeup. No clue at all. And I don't want you all saying mm nice dress, shame you apply make up like a child on a treadmill

Thanks. YES. I need a really good bra, strapless and low cut. Could go without but breasts wouldn't be nearly as impressive then I need structure.

OP posts:
aefondkiss · 30/03/2008 23:23

ah those shoes make me smile, I hope you have generous friends like pp !

I love the hair jewellery, it would be god for wearing again too.

I think a couple of trips to a good make up counter and you will be fine.

princessmel · 30/03/2008 23:23

You look fab in the dress. It fits you really well and is very flattering.

Deffo new shoes. And I'd agree with strappy sandals.

Absolutely NO to a shrug. Leave it as it is. Something in your hair and jewelery is enough.

Aitch · 30/03/2008 23:23

just go to space nk and ask them when their make-up artist is visiting next, they'll be able to help.

pukka · 30/03/2008 23:24

wow, that dress is lovely , but you look amazing in it.
everythign sits in the right place, and is just perfect.

Boco · 30/03/2008 23:29

You can borrow my rabbit head if you like, it's very handy as you don't need to worry about makeup at all, and you always look cheerful.

Aitch · 30/03/2008 23:30

although a little samey in the wedding photos..
