Made by Angela Stone who has offered to create me something marvellous when i was moaning at dinner on sat night about being a bit of an apple and how hard it is to find a dress that is just right for me...

Am all excited but don't know where to start

Is for a wedding in July in southern USA so has to be cool. I want something I can wear a lot obv as it will be spenny and fit perfectly.

Any ideas?

I am going to see her next week for inspiration

some egs of her stuff here

Post your perfect dress on here so I can get inspiration!

Am 5 foot 5, a bit apply, good legs, arms not too bad, size 14 but am on massive diet now so hoping to be 12 by then

Empire line is good although if you have boobs can look maternity.Have had a look at the website some of the gold ones are stunning

Presumably as a designer/dressmaker she can draw up a few sketches of what she thinks might work for you ?
