I am getting married, in June. I have 3 sisters and my mum coming to the wedding (among others), which is an all-day, fairly relaxed event.

So TONIGHT AT 9PMish...

I've invited them all on to MN to shop and chat, if anyone else fancies lending a hand that would be lovely TIA

Not sure what usernames they've chosen so I?ll guess?

Cinders - is pregnant and likes this But is a little pricey so is up for considering alternatives.
Polkadot - is keen on two tone one shoulder dress (annoying sorry can't seem to link properly) and needs accessories/shoes.
Batty - is clueless , tall, leggy with enormous norks assets.
Mum ? likes teal, turquoise and flowing lines.

I think you could carry off lipsy dresses so am off to have a look...

It is ok to just say you don't like/can't afford any of them. I like online shopping you won't put me out!

Havw a look and say no or maybe or whatever.

Love you
