My Dress!!!

I am having my dress made by the wonderful Sienna!

Sienna is starting up a business as a wedding dress maker and I am one of her six projects to get the business up and running.

She is fantastic - extremely telented and very friendly.....at our last fitting she gave me cookies (now thats the way to my heart!)

We have chosen a design and are currently in the calico making stage. I tried on the beginnings of the calico pattern last week and it was so exciting! 

Next up we need to choose colours and materials and then its onto making the actual dress!

It is so much fun being so involved in the dress making process - I am so lucky to be able to have it made for me.

Lingerie

I have just returned from Westfield in my first attempt for bra shopping.....outcome - over whelming!
I'm really not the best at this haha......ahhh I need my sisters!
I found a cute little shop called Boux Avenue however where the lady was really helpfull and gave me a proper fitting. I didnt find anything that I really liked however but I did find this snazzy little strap that hooks onto any bra to give it a lower back so I got one of those :).

ps. If anyone knows of any good bra shops in London let me know :)
