Lady A's Banquet

Wow that is AMAAAAZING!!!!!

I'm thinking of how much your kameez would have had to be tightened with those losses! (got my tailor hat on lol)

That's fantastic darling. Well done and lots of Mubarak to you xxxxx

Thank you gorgeous! Tell me about it hun....I've got a wedding to go to in a couple of weeks & no time to shop for ready made clothes so I'm gonna have to go get measured up at my local tailors & give her a few unstitched pieces I got from Dubai. I have to give the mendhi outfit 1 week and the wedding outfit the following week after being re-measured as I'll probably lose a few more inches by then. All of my outfits are really big on the waist n hips at the moment & the neck line is way too big too now. It's nice and annoying at the same time as I really I've got some really nice ready made suits that I haven't even worn yet that are too big for me now. :)
 
Get them adjusted.. If only I lived closer to you.. I would have done it for you...

Have you lost any inches on your shoulders?.. If you've lost alot, then it would be a pain to get them adjusted, but it's still possible to get them adjusted..

Do ittt... Get the adjusted :) and make sure you get the tailor to make them as you like. I used to sew my own clothes at mums but i only have the small sewing machine now and i don't get the time to here.. I got some clothes sewn from south all and he ruined every single one of them. I bought some material from up north for some kurrtay but he ruined them. Had to take them back up north and i fixed them on my mums machine. Was so mad at him i could have killed him.

Oh I'll have to check my shoulder measurements and let you know. I never trust southall...the pappa ji's in the boutiques there just take one look at my mummae and say 'no varree...no need to try it will be purrrfect fitt ji!' The tailors are perv's too you can't work out whether they're measuring you or giving you a swedish body massage :D. I'm quite lucky I have a nice boutique near me that does a really nice job every time. I'll pm you the name of the boutique if you ever need it. Do you shop in Manchester then? I really want to go shop in the boutiques up north when there's another wedding as I'll hopefully be down another size to an 8/10 by then :eek: xx

Don't let the perverts measure you! Yuck, i would never let them haha.. I give them a kameez shalwar i already have and is of perfect fit.. Or i just write down my measurements.. It's easier because i sew so they can't trick me! Lol

I shopped for my wedding in Manchester yeah.. But i shop closer to mums.. That's like an hr from Manchester. Clothes are so much more nicer and cheaper a million times..

All my outfits are too baggy at the waist n hips...Think I'll just have a fresh piece stitched. I have family in Wilmslow so I'll probably go next time I want to shop for Asian clothes.

I love dropping inches as it always seems to make more of a difference in apne kapre... However, the downsize for me is always my 32Ds - my sisters' clothes just don't fit me around my bust and shoulders! I end up walking around like the Hulk :mad: :p

Congratulations princess :) xxx

Thank you my lovely! I'm a 34D but I guess I can get away with it a bit more as I'm slightly taller than you and I think my body frame is a bit wider too. I'm so excited about losing from my bottom half as that has always made me feel self concious. I done a bum watch this morning and it's looking good ;) I can't start Jillian until the wedding is over now due to the inch loss that I'm currently having...I'm gonna leave the mad dress fittings/ re-fittings inshaAllah for my own wedding thank you very much :p

Morning All!

I've taken the day off of work today to get all of my bits for the wedding I'm going to on Saturday. I managed to find an outfit that isn't too baggy around my stomach and hips but I'm not doing any body magic this week as I think that is the main reason for the sudden inch loss that I've had recently. I saw the ad for Sean T's hip hop abs work out whilst having my breakfast this morning and had the urge to join in but I must refrain until after the wedding as baggy Asian clothes look very unflattering. Here's my menu:

Tuesday 12th April 2011 - EE

Breakfast - Banana, 3 pagen crisp rolls (HexB) topped with low fat marg (2 syns) & reduced sugar jam (1 syn). Tea with HexA milk.

Snack - Fruit n Tea

Lunch - Lamb & aubergine curry with brown rice & salad

Snack - Latte made with skimmed milk

Dinner - Roast chicken, roast potatoes, brocolli, carrots & gravy (2 syns).

Dessert - Fruit & low fat ice cream (3 syns)

Syns - 8
 
I have Shaun T's hip hop abs!!! I bought it last year, I used to do it at night... Following my first session, I felt soooooooooo much better! Seriously, the next morning, my abs felt really tight - not even sore, like they do with Shred, but actually tight! I know it's not physically possible to work that kind of magic overnight but his smile is contagious and I still find myself doing tilt tighten tuck at the strangest of times :eek:

Are pagen crisp rolls nice? xxx

I went to Tesco to get the pagen crisp rolls but no luck - serves me right for going to a petrol station one! I'll have a look in the bigger one tomorrow :)

Which daal are you having? We just refer to them all by colour - hehe :p black, brown, yellow, orange... Although I'd say the yellow and orange were the same thing, and I've never had daal that ends up pink but there is pink daal, or so my mum says... It's in the cupboard but looks nothing like pink - or maybe I'm thinking about tubby custard too much :p

Hi hun,

I'm having masoor dhaal which is yellow when cooked lol! I really like the green one and my mum adds lamb stock to it so it tastes yum without the tarka. I got my pagen crisp rolls in sainsbury's but they were hidden on the bottom shelf so make sure you have a good look when you go. I ordered a coat to see me through the weddings as it's gone cold again :( It fits on on the bust but it's a bit big around the waist & hips though. I didn't want to spend much as I'm not done losing weight yet. Take a look: CURVE SEAM PRINCESS COAT
