FIIIITTTT

i'll be looking like indiana jones tomorrow.

 

[mattie]

I've just bought a shirt that looks a bit like this:

One slight worry, I'm not sure my stomach naturally suits tight shirts.

I found a blue top with ruches on in a skip the other day. Wins.

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm not sure about posting a pic to be honest, I'm not gonna look anything like your normal bride

what does a normal bride look like? Froofy? What colour is it at least?

[killer b]

research leads me to believe it's a repro made by eastman leather clothing... shame, as if it was original i could have sold it for a couple of grand.

as it is, it's still a steal at £25.

i'll see if i can find a whip tomorrow afternoon then.

 

[Biddlybee]

You got a hat?

I'm wearing black and red, the groom is wearing white, his choice and I really wasn't bothered enough about it to argue. It is froofy, the skirt is black tulle (about 65 yards ) it's been slashed and knotted in random places and I've sewn tiny metalic roses and some organza flowers amongst the layers of tulle. I like it but I know not everyone will

not one that's quite right.

however, i'm in manchester tomorrow morning, so i could have a look for a fedora while i'm there...

I will post a pic after, getting hitched on the 23rd of July. The corset has a centre front and back panel in red on black gothic type brocade with black sides and lined with a black lace trim. I made a black veil, it's a lot of black but atleast I don't have to worry about keeping a white dress clean, I'd never be able to!

[killer b]

good shout.

 

[Balbi]

Attempting to get a new pair of DM's to go with, but might settle for a replacement pair of army boots.

 

[killer b]

need steelies.

 

[Biddlybee]

It's what you want which is the most important thing and your corset sounds lovely.

 

[Balbi]

need steelies.

They don't do these in my size *shakes fist*

 

[killer b]

what size are you?

 

[zenie]

I don't mean to be mean but that imo is a little bit YMCA

You are gonna get hit on all over the shop!

 

[Balbi]

10. They're out of stock right now.

Edit: They're definitely a summer purchase zenie, in a field with my boots off and the straps undone. And then I can get hammered, paint my face with glue, stick cotton wool on and be Seasick Steve

[Balbi]

Hah, that shops on my way to work

 

[Badgers]

Got a Lee Cooper shirt. It did not fit so I returned it. True story.

 

[Ms T]

A vintage dress in grey and white stripes. It's very sweet. I am such a failure as I really don't need anything at all atm - can't seem to help myself.

 

[wayward bob]

there's no such thing as not needing another vintage dress ms t

Purch'd.

 

[killer b]

nice one. let me know what you think - considering a pair myself, next time a boot purchase comes up...

 

[Balbi]

First DM purchase in 10 years, my old ones are still good - just steel capped and not great for pubs and town centres.

 

[8115]

Best shirt ever, Gap via charity shop. Sort of red, olive green and white tartan, long for tucking into a skirt, pussy cat bow option (but will wear ties in a knot so they hang down a bit like a tie). Three quarter length sleeves. Sort of sexy secretary gets a degree in geopolitics. I'm in love

would be interested to know how they compare - i've heard bad reports of the far east made DMs (your old ones are probably still made in england), so i'd be interested if the heritage brand adds any value
