Lace and Legs
I was in a big dilemma.
A fashion dilemma which never bodes well with me. I like to know where I am and what’s occurin’ when it comes to special occasions. I have been known to plan an outfit up to a year in advanced. I can’t help it. I like to be organised.
Bobbi’s wedding is coming up this weekend. I’m doing a reading. I’m really bloated at the moment. Like REALLY. I had visions of black lace {see here} and had visions of reworking {stitching in a strapless bra to hold it up and taking out the sides to accommodate my expanding derriere} this little lace number I own below.
It’s 20’s inspired, is a nice length but low and behold does it hug and like to show off the bloat belly or what?? I wasn’t happy…I was making do and I didn’t want to be making DO! I wanted to be DO DO DOING in my wedding clobber!
Then I saw this on my beloved Ann Street Studio blog:
SWEET BABY JESUS!
A poorly fitted, uncomfortable mediocre~outfit~for~this~occasion would not do. I wanted there to be swathes of gorgeous lace and I needed an injection of sex as opposed to bad digestion.
I went shopping.
I went 60’s…..
{vintage dress from black out}
The bow sleeves are going, much to Tim’s disagreement, and a big high heel is needed due to the large amount of leg that will be on show but I like it. I feel comfortable in it. There’s nothing restricting my waist {a common problem for me at wedding’s. See here} so I am happy to eat, drink and dance the day away…what else are wedding’s for?!
Headgear still to be sorted but I’m on the case…..watch this space

I LOVE this dress,I also LOVE the bows on the sleeves and wish they too were attending Bobbi’s wedding..But with or without the dress looks great on I’ve seen it..
I’m going for black for Vija’s winter wedding for sure,I’ll be scouring for a good heavy crepe dress 40’s or 70’s probably,started looking already xx
