Leash and Liam's Big Day

[leash27]

I am so sure that this is the dress that I am frightened to post any pics in case my OH snoops at my thread

 

[EmmyReece]

it's beautiful hun

 

[leash27]

I love it so much! I was considering having it lace up at the back instead of zip but I think it would totally ruin it. There is already a lot going on with the lace and the belt, I think it would be too much!

I am so happy, I just know this is MY dress!!

That dress is gorgeous!! How exciting! xx

 

[leash27]

I have just made another appointment at the shop to try my dress on again on Friday morning I am so excited!! If I still love it (which I will) I am going to put my deposit down!! Last time I went, they said I can order it with them now but if I want to lose more weight they will wait a while before they take mjy measurements and place the order with the designer!! I am hoping I can leave it til November and try to shift at least a stone by then. I have been running again at the gym which I really enjoy - I used to run quite a lot before I had Max so if I can get back into that on a regular basis I may be able to shift the baby blubber!!

Gorgeous dress hun I'm wanting to go and try on dresses in Nov/Dec time to try and lose more weight too xx

 

[leash27]

Thanks! I am 100% head over heels in love with it and cannot wait to see it again! I hope I get the tingles again when I try it on!!

I was going to leave it a little longer to go shopping but it was stressing me out that it was the biggest thing left on my list and I hadn't tackled it lol!

[EmmyReece]

it sounds like such an amazing feeling, I can't wait to find the one

 

[Lisa84]

I keep thinking if i go in Nov/Dec that 7/8 months is not gonna be long enough. How long do they usually need x

 

[leash27]

I think it varies from designer to designer! Some are 6 months and some are 4/5 months! She said the latest I can order mine (from BR) is November to allow time for any alterations etc! The only thing to bear in mind if you plan to wait is that it may take a few shopping trips to find 'the one'. I started looking in June and chose one last week! I've only been shopping 3 times though so I suppose it would depend on how many stores you visit and how often! Does that make sense?

So exciting! Cant wait to find my dress. Lovely xx

 

[leash27]

I was so worried I wouldnt get that feeling where you just know so I am really happy that I did. One more sleep til I see my beautiful dress again....sigh!!!

[leash27]

I am about to go and see my dress again

 

[Smile181c]

Is it stil the one?! Xxx

 

[leash27]

Hell yes lol!!

When she brought it out it looked bigger than I remembered but as soon as it was on I knew it was still my perfect dress. I didn't even want to look at or try on any other dresses in the shop!

So I have paid my 50% deposit and the dress hunt is officially over!! Got to go back at the end of next month to get measured so I have like 5 weeks to try and drop a dress size hehe!!
