oh god, got a nasty shock today

so I was in Sainsbury's with my mum who was somewhat excited by the prospect of 25% off all clothing until Monday...

There was an alright-looking skirt in there ... £20, so £15 after the discount ... very similar to the kind of things you see in White Stuff - brown cord, a-line, to the knee, bit of a flower motif thingy embroidered on the front

So I thought, may as well try it on at home, might look okay with a l/s tee and brown boots, certainly handy for breastfeeding if worn with the right top blah blah

So I grab a 12... and it doesn't do up!!!

okay, fair enough, I had a baby on the weekend but it was still a shock ... anyway, my question is:

do I keep the 12 in the expectation that it will fit in a few weeks?
or buy a 14 to fit now and hope that it hangs in a louche manner on my hips in a few weeks?

WWYD?

we both had MAdrid - same wedding dress - shape, flowers, colours

sorry, was flummoxed by "not the SAME" - baby brain!!

Ah, the Alan Hannah Madrid! such a gorgeous dress. Where/ when did you get married?

Love the baby, not keen on the skirt, have just found my ideal wedding dress.

cazzybabs · 02/10/2009 16:19

...sorry was trying to be funny as clearly we each had our own wedding dress...

I hjave no idea when I got married = I think it as 2006 in sunny Birmingham.We had a cake to match..I love it I so wouldn't fit it now

My friend had that wedding dress too. She had no flowers and her bridesmaids wore green. She got married in 2004.

LetThemEatCake · 02/10/2009 16:28

I saw that dress in a shop window a year before I even got engaged... Didn't even bother trying any others on when the time came!!

Update on skirt; as of today it fits. But think I might can it anyway, and send my mum and her pernicious style influence packing!!!

I got married in 2004 and that dress was everywhere. I really like it, gorgeous. I wore white though [boring]
