Cafe Pizzas! And everything and everyone in the world ever!!!!
Coz I just had a lovely evening in Town Bride discovering that in the right dress i do not look like a pregnant hippotomus afterall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are wooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnderfull in there!
And my lil SIL2B is a doll and so nice and honest and one of my best buds! She was so good and excited and helpful. The girl in the shop said it was the first time she ever saw a SIL in at such an early stage, maybe for the fittings but not actually shopping.
I was sure I'd come out in tears ready to check myself into a fat farm but it was all so good we went to Boulevard to celebrate and i had a Thai chicken pizza and it was divine!! Ok maybe a bit counter-productive but what the heh!

sounds like you've had a wonderful day - it's great when you have a day like that - gorgeous dress, good friends and good food.
Have you decided on the dress yet or are you still looking??

This was my first shopping expedition, it was just supposed to be a 'shaping' to see what would suit me, but one of the dresses I tried on was fab and is a definate maybe!

Great news Magpie - thrilled for you! At least you know there's at least one dress out there for you! Enjoy the rest of the shopping and definitely bring SIL2B with you next time!

Thanks girls!
[quote:1j273kta]Will you post a pic of your dress or would you prefer not to? [/quote:1j273kta]
i'd rather not, coz the only pic I found of it looks rank!
But it's an Estes dress, full A-line crushed silk skirt with a long bodice with a scoop neckline and very thin straps ( to break up the big rugby player shoulders! )
I had two more appointments over the weekend and liked a couple of other dresses but not nearly as much as that one. A couple of dresses I tried on made me look like Princess Fiona, hence the new pic! A reminder that it might be a good idea to loose a few pounds!
