Ta-dah

Go on, it's nice right?

Heh, really didn't see myself in white but hey, too pretty a dress to resist.

I wanted to say thank you to all of you who put in loads of advice on the other thread and to apologise if any of you felt like you'd wasted your time. You certainly didn't, that dress will still be worn (when repaired) to many a party! But I'm just relieved to have sorted something for the wedding.

Disclaimer: I had to use the camera timer for the first time and then run back to get in shot and pose whilst supervising two toddlers who were imitating me.

TillyScoutsmum · 30/04/2008 20:08

Oh Slur - its bloody lovely

You rocked the other dress but am I allowed to say that this is better ? Much more "special" iyswim ?

EffiePerine · 30/04/2008 20:08

ah I thought at first glance they were silver

they are in fact cream

I think silver would look better...

Izzywhizzy · 30/04/2008 20:09

I have to be honest and say that I don't love the dress, but fortunately for you, you have such a fantastic figure, you could probably make a bin-bag look good.

Lizzylou · 30/04/2008 20:10

Gorgeous, you have a fab figure.

NotABanana · 30/04/2008 20:11

I agree with LTH. I think there are better shoes around.

MerlinsBeard · 30/04/2008 20:12

what a gorgeous dress!

nice figure too

Agree about the shoes sorry!

Freckle · 30/04/2008 20:12

Is it OK to wear white at a wedding if you're not the bride?? And with a figure like that you're likely to upstage her anyway .

ladytophamhatt · 30/04/2008 20:15

ohhhh, is this your wedding dress? i did see teh other dress but didn't know whatthe occasion was.

Ummm, god you're going to hate me.

I really wouldn't wear white to a wedding....

Sorry.

I'll leave you alone now.

Flame · 30/04/2008 20:16

I thought she was the bride...

ladytophamhatt · 30/04/2008 20:17

Phew, thats ok then

Flame · 30/04/2008 20:20

I missed what happened to the last dress though - was that the silver grey one??

MerlinsBeard · 30/04/2008 20:21

when i looked i thought it would make a great wedding dress

i dislike the shoes even more now though...but then, you aren't me (luckily for you )

Freckle · 30/04/2008 20:21

Oh right. Didn't realise Slur is the bride ].
