Oh - and to top it off, the guy sent me the dresses from Hong Kong on a Sunday - they were with me by the Wednesday

That is a really lovely dress

[Jeraly 4]

I thought so - so that is what the bridesmaids are wearing... wondered if Julez could wear something like that - they do loads of different dresses and are really good - Kin the guy I was liasing with had my dresses specially made He was really good throughout the whole thing

g'morning all

[Jeraly 4]

Morning!! At last someone has showed up!!! Seems my fellow Brits have that Monday feeling

[Alex & Rachel 78]

I'm here, just very sleepy! I guess you could say I have pre-pre-wedding blues. I know it's still a long way off but I worry sometimes. Plus the way I was misunderstood in the Off-Topic forum was preying on my mind.

[Jeraly 4]

Haha - yeah I tend to avoid the OT thread if I can... I am bogged down in work with a backlog dating back three weeks and they keep piling more on... ah well.. next week I am off to the US

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Hurrah! I'm so jealous. Still, I'll be there for good, soon.

I'm looking forward to no more English winters (although it's actually pretty warm today).

I've been looking at those lovely dresses you linked to... thinking I will keep my eye on that stuff in case something comes up that I would rather have instead of my very plain shift wedding dress.

It's really cold here at work today - feels warmer outside with my coat on to be honest! The heating broke down over the weekend and it's only just starting to heat up in here. I know it's colder where Mark is, but at least he gets snow every year.

[Jeraly 4]

Hehe!! What did you say in the OT thread? I posted something once - just a kinda online joke that has been knocking about for years and got absolutely slated by people with no sense of humour... couple people jumped to my rescue but still - it was unnecessary for people to be nasty about something that was meant to be funny

Ah well - I don't waste much time in there now unless I see something interesting and even then I rarely post

Haha - yeah I can't see me getting much snow in Cali unless we're in the mountains!!

The dresses are really lovely - Ive bought three from this guy now and for what they are they are really good value for money

I tried on my dress...lost weight, need to find a seamstress to take it in for me. Just waht I need. More stress!!!!

[Jeraly 4]

Haha - swap?! I have distinctly not lost any weight and now I feel fat and lardy... gross

[Alex & Rachel 78]

I've been tempted by Hong Kong sellers before. They have some lovely tailored clothes for very cheap - I've just not been able to justify buying anything yet! I'd also like to buy a proper corset prior to my wedding.

Jeraly - it was with regards to wedding registries. It wasn't what was said that upset me, but how I was misunderstood. Some kind people understood what I was trying to say, though! I guess like you I am pretty sensitive sometimes. I have no problems disagreeing with someone but it's maddening when I think I misinterpreted!

I have no idea if I have lost weight yet but I am certainly trying - I struggle quite a bit; although I'm fortunate in that I find it relatively hard to put a lot of weight on, it works the other way in that I find it very hard to lose any! I've been hovering around the same mark for far too long.

[Jeraly 4]

Hmmm - I looked at real corsets too... beautiful one but it was £200 I keep promising myself that one day I will get a proper one but right now I have more important things to spend my money on!!!

I love corsetting. I have 6 corsets ranging from 24" to 22". They are all tightlacing steel boned corsets. I have been corsetting/waist training for 4 years and can now take 6" off my natural waist with a corset. They are not uncomfortable if you ease into it gently and get proper style, size and shape for yourself. If you find it uncomfortable either corset wrong or you going too fast.

I think the lack of appitite caused by the stress is the reason for my weightloss...that and the fact my mother on a diet so either diet food or no food.
