Sucker for lace trim.

I'm a sucker for a lace trim.

Today I wandered into Mallani on George Street to ask about a few gowns i saw on their website.

They had a sale on the floor stock too some up to 75%! If youre a size 8 - 14 pop in for a bargian!

The gowns were a little too OTT for me, but they do have some really nice full lace offerings.

One that caught my eye was Pandora which was full lace dress with a beautiful trim which arched over the sides and up over the stomach. There was also lace "ribbons" on the side and back. to give the illusion of folds in the dress The collar was lace boatneck, with a sweetheart edge inside. It was a beautiful old ivory colour.

The fit, i had hips!

Dislike
Lots of fabric - huge train.
the sequins on the ripples were off-putting.
The sleeves were in the wrong spot and made my arms look wrong.

I have booked my first wedding gown appointment.

Its really for Winnie, who is also getting married the same year as me, but she works all the time including weekends, she hasnt had any time to focus on her wedding. And cos i work Mon - Fri, I cant escape too far for a fitting.

The Catwalk. They exhibited a few of the dresses and mens suits on offer. The highlight was the men. The strutted their stuff in suits and kilts (one guy actually had a fan club!)

THEN they did an underwear session. >_< style="font-weight: bold;">Post:
