Deflating the Bouncy Castle

Evening Spangles --

I think your work is amazing... but it often seems that creative people are creative in many fashions. I can't wait to see what you do next week.

I am so pleased for your loss (of weight).
 
Spangles. ,what are you doing to me! I would let you do my wedding like a shot, but it's too late now! Why didn't you say so 3 months ago.

Where are you based? I regularly post on a wedding forum, if you want to offer on there and I will vouch for you?
 
oh that's lovely of you. but i've only had two classes. I must wait and see if i'm any good at the other bits first!

I have just spent the last hour or so working out which two courses would be best to do after easter. a lot of the ones i'd previously earmarked, I now see are going to be too basic. so i think i'll do the intermediate version of the class i do now, and one which is for weddings but seems quite challenging (you get to do pomanders and pew ends). I think part of it purely that we don't have a table and have only 1 metre squared of worktop in our tiny kitchen. I need the class so I have room to do this - until we move.
 
spangles quick un diet related question. i love vintage clothes but ive never bought anything from collectif because the dresses look really long and im only five foot! are they tres long??? i dont need any help in looking stumpy!! xxx
 
I'm five foot three and the dolores fitted dresses come above the knee on me, as do the Rhonda fitted dresses (if that's the one with the big collar). The dolores doll (flared) dresses are a fair bit longer and come well below the knee on me. I assume because that's the length of a standard rockabilly petticoat (Viv of Holloway etc).
 
i thought that may have been the case. i always have to take vintage flared dresses up because anything below knee makes me look like i have no legs!! however i may be brave enough to try a fitted dress soon! thanks for the info!!! x
 
i should say - with the fitted dresses, i wear them quite tight - if i wear them loose they're a little longer.
 
Congrats on the fab loss! Its been long over due for you hunni x
 
hi can ljust say l have read your diary from start to finish and its fab:D has really made me determined to stick with vlcd delighted for you with your weighloss this week ,:)

Decided to buy this little play-suit instead of a dress for now! Saw that it was in the sale at Sugarhill Boutique and couldn't resist.

Not sure if the pic will work but here is the link http://www.sugarhillboutique.com/Playsuits/c3/p100/Mellow-Meadow-Playsuit/product_info.html

I am SKINT but hey ho! I am Obsessed with anything with an animal pattern. My wardrobe is slowly turning into a zoo! hehe.

Weirdly couldn't bring myself to buy a smaller size though. I thought to myself "don't be smug and buy a smaller size, knowing your luck it wont fit" I have no sense of confidence...or logic sometimes!! I will regret it when it is miles too big in a month's time.
 
ooh - that's gorgeous, petal. i don't have the legs for shorts... but you play to your strengths, right? and speaking of which, my showbiz mate emailed me this afternoon. regular readers of this drivel might remember that he had lost a fair bit of weight, but has stalled lately - and when i saw him record a show back in october/november, he'd still lost more than me (mind - he has much more to lose: was 24 stone when he started). Anyway, now i have overtaken him. which is shamefully satisfying to me. so anyway, i just now took a photo just now to send him, of me in my new (Collectif sale) size 12 dress. What's that you say? vanity sizing? lalalaa... can't hear you. I'm planning to wear the label on the outside!

Wow. Just wow. You look amazing.
 
looking haat haat haat (american for hot lol) love that dress!!! i dont have the legs for shorts either but with thick black tights its not too bad...and also because i am tinsyweenytiny in the leg department playsuits seem to lengthen me out! fingers crossed that the peter pan collar isnt wholly unflattering!!! but back to your pic...in the words of borat ... wawa-woo-waa. looking lovely!!!
 
I just don't understand how you can weigh 180 pounds when you look like your between 140 to pounds? You look tiny in that dress?!!
 
we've been over this - I'm DENSE, remember? :D:D:D:D:D
