Hello friends,

Been together 28 years... married 17.

We've got a vow renewal in December.. so excited but unsure what to wear?

Had a huge circus wedding last time with trumpets, bells and whistles. This time just us and family.

Is this dress ok?

Had a freaking great flouncy, wafting number last time so not sure.

Thank you in advance for options.. 😊x

Confused

There you go.. it's a vintage ghost dress.

Love the 1930's look. 😊x

Sorry can see it now.
It wouldn’t be for me I’m afraid. It’s quite summery and a little shapeless.

I think it's beautiful- timeless and classic dress!

Meezer2 · 24/08/2021 20:19

Please bear in mind my age.. 54 so not happy getting my rather less than perfect arms. X

Gorgeous!

I like it - colour is very suitable and looking at the fabric it has a lacey overlay? Smile

Did one of you cheat or something?

NinDS · 24/08/2021 20:22

I think what you are doing is amazing and congrats on being together so long and still being very much in love and respectful of one another - that is quite rare these days!! That said, I think you need to rethink your dress and go all out as if you’re getting married for the first time all over again. Go to a bridal shop and see what they say - you deserve this! 💗💐💐💐

Anatomical · 24/08/2021 20:22

That didn't take long...! Hmm

thefirstmrsrochester · 24/08/2021 20:23

Fuck sake ActonSquirrel, of you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.

It’s a lovely dress OP, best wishes for the day x

Meezer2 · 24/08/2021 20:24

Anatomical it's lace on the top.. sorry I don't know how to highlight your name and address you in person! X

I love it. I also love the tapestry on the chair.

Emmelina · 24/08/2021 20:25

Its a very nice dress. My own concerns would be that it may be a little lightweight for the time of year, and I usually have a problem with that kind of fabric either clinging to all the bits I don’t want seen or sticking to my tights! Have you tried it on as you’d be wearing it on the day, to see how it feels?

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 24/08/2021 20:26

Another good website is needle and thread. I agree that you should wear something really special.

This is beautiful 🤩

Very nice. Does it look good on? Quite bridal.

ItsAChallengingWank · 24/08/2021 20:28

Nice response @Meezer2 😉

Beautiful dress. Congratulations, I hope you have a wonderful and special day

Meezer2 · 24/08/2021 20:30

Thank you for your responses.

Despite being 54 I'm still a size 10..

good diet mostly!

Have tried it on and a stern pair of spanks hold in my momma tum!

I'm planning to get a 1930's style faux fur wrap?

💕

I think that looks fabulous.

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 24/08/2021 20:32

It looks lovely on the hanger but for honest opinions we'd really need to see it on you! Could you take a photo wearing it, you don't have to show your face.

Absolutely beautiful dress
