Rona Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks GuysSeriously I may have to post piccies on the forum of possible outfits and have a poll Or you could give us details of your colouring and vitals etc and then we could all look for outfits for you and make suggestions.

KimmyCustard Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 How lovely, I love weddings too, must be all that 'new start' thing! A completely new thread will be required for the choosing of frock, hat, shoes, bag etc and April will be a great time, Spring fashions will be out in Feb and all ready for you! *sighs in ecstacy* Congratulations to your son and DIL-to-be, you sound so nice and it will be happiness on a stick for her to have a great MIL (sadly lacking in my marriage,OH last saw her about 15 years ago). Enjoy the shopping, I cant wait! Kimmy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyhole kate Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Or you could give us details of your colouring and vitals etc and then we could all look for outfits for you and make suggestions. A bit like being 'Omletted' instead of being 'Goked' What a fantastic idea I love it I have short brown hair (I look demented in every style of Hat ) Dark Blue Eyes 5ft 1" tall Size 10 trousers/skirts size 14 tops I tend to have to buy a 14 dress to get my top half in so tend to go for shift, pulled/nipped in at the waist generally a style that tends to have a narrow bottom half, I love colour all colours I have no idea what colour the Brides mum will want as yet, she is very very poorly in ITU at present and is still very confused and keeps forgetting they are getting married she is finally on the mend but it is going to be a long haul bless her I am happy to step back and wait until she is well and has made her choices she is the brides mother after all and it is Mellissa (Only Child) special day I have 3 DD's to flap over when there time comes Mellissa is like another daughter she adores my baby boy and knows life as a military wife/family can be very lonely and hard her parents think the world of my baby boy too What more could a parent want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
