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.

these shoes

MissingMyHeels · 30/04/2008 20:36

Gorgeous dress, almost makes me wanna get married!

Flame · 30/04/2008 20:36

Those shoes are stunning.

£650 is NOT

geordieminx · 30/04/2008 20:39

cheaper gina

NotABanana · 30/04/2008 20:40

I thought they were £395??

I can't log on to faith shoes and I saw sme amazing shoes in there a while back. They were much more affordable.

Heated · 30/04/2008 20:41

You'll make anything you wear look stunning. Really like the top half of the dress, back & front shots are simply fabby. Less keen on hem personally, but with the right shoes...

Flame · 30/04/2008 20:42

Hmmm... different shoes whenever you click on the link lmao

Twas Gita I saw

Naomi much nicer

Flame · 30/04/2008 20:43

I actually quite like these simple

MissingMyHeels · 30/04/2008 20:46

These shoes would look pretty

geordieminx · 30/04/2008 20:46

lovely ones on here

S1ur · 30/04/2008 20:47

Hello! Crisis over.
Thank you all, I am very chuffed and wanted to show off share since so many saw the other (purpley/grey) one.

Yes I'm the bride, and would never wear that to someone elses wedding that would be rude and slightly disturbing

I completely agree about the shoes, I bought them at the same time, felt on a bit of a roll but don't like them much. I love those Gina ones, but waaaay too pricey. Will search ebay. I'm a size 3 mostly so could be tricky...

I quite like the look of these But I know rounded toes might not be great.

Thank you Tilly, you can say that. It is more appropriate somewhat. And will please my mother

Flame · 30/04/2008 20:49

So - what happened to the other one???

Flame · 30/04/2008 20:49

Don't like the roundy ones either

bringmesunshine · 30/04/2008 20:50

Slur - wow!

You look fantastic

Wheelybug · 30/04/2008 20:51

Lovely dress ! Agree re shoes - don't think the roundy ones are suitable either. The ones Flame link to I think would be good (the faith simple ones) or the missingmyheels ones depending on what heel height and budget you're going for.

AnotherFineMess · 30/04/2008 20:51

Gorgeous dress, gorgeous skin, great choice to showcase gorgeous figure. I agree that the shoes are nice but don't have the wow factor that your dress and you have...think I would go for something strappier and more delicate?

S1ur · 30/04/2008 20:52

So strappy way to go then?

Faith ones look a bit low heeled, I am a short arse.

I like them all.

Annoyingly I looked in both stores at the weekend and didn't see them, maybe online only. Could I get away with more jewels do you think like in the moda ones? The coast ones are veerrry nice.

Wheelybug · 30/04/2008 20:53

I would personally say simple and delicate as you don't want to overpower the wow factor of the dress.

Wheelybug · 30/04/2008 20:53

presume its a summer wedding ?

mehdismummy · 30/04/2008 20:54

fab dress, fab swish, FAB NORKS, fab necklace, you are a stunner although not keen on shoes! are we all invited to the wedding!

NappiesGalore · 30/04/2008 20:54

i missed the other dress

you look gorgeous - have a great day.

but yes, get more exciting shoes.

why people pay several hundred pounds for shoes theyll wear once and scuff i dont quite understand, but theres plenty of exciting more affordable shoes imo.

pootleflump · 30/04/2008 20:55

what about these if you want more jewels?

NotABanana · 30/04/2008 20:55

these? Couldn't see the ones I initially meant.

pootleflump · 30/04/2008 20:56

I like these ones myself
