wedding outfit needed for mid june

36 replies

lou33 · 08/05/2005 12:28

I ordered this for a wedding in a 10, and it looks like I am wearing a tent, so have reordered in a smaller size, but think the 8 will still not be fitted enough, and the 6 will be too small (am usually a 10). Any alternative suggestions ? Don't want to spend much at all (don't really want to go), and want o be able to wear it again. Nothing past mid calf either.

Thanking you

do u know anyone handy with a sewing machine, it'd be easy enough to make more figure hugging, as long as there is a good access - buttons/zip, so u can still get it on

Nice dress Lou.

I just bought this jaipur skirt and top from Monsoon. The top and skirt don't come up but type in Jaipur in Monsonn and you'll see.
