    My mum wore pants, but with the most STUNNING white top that I would happily have worn, but she gave it away!

    It was my plan to wear mine every year on our anniversary, but this year the anniversary will be skiing in Japan, and, much as I love my dress, I am not carting it all the way over there! But I will happily wear mine again on the odd occasion. I worked so fricken hard on it, I figure I deserve to from time to time!

    I wouldn't have fitted into my mums. But I'm having a hot pink dress anyway

    my mum wore an off white cheese cloth gown, ankle length with empire waist and long flowing sleeves, (wedding was 1981, dad wore white jeans, shirt and thongs!!) she still has it and has been worn to many a fancy dress party! ohh and her BF at the time embroidered little rose buds scattered all over it. I love it, but dont think I will wear it!

    My mum borrowed her dress from her bestie so she didn't get to keep it. Don't think I would have fitted into it anyway as she was a size 6 back then!

    We got married a month ago (yay!) and I wore a black and white dress. Here's a pic of the front and one of the back

    My mum never had a proper wedding dress. I believe for her first marriage she just wore a nice suit with gloves and a hat, she did not marry my father and what she wore when she married my step dad was just blergh. She did have some gorgeous ball gowns, even at my thinnest I was not quite able to fit into them, my rib cage is just too big. If I had thought about it earlier I would have asked for Nanna's wedding veil (very 1920's) and seen what I could have done to make it suit my wedding dress.

    My dress was not typical and I have worn it again many times for Medieval feasts. (If you are my friend on FB it is the green and gold dress).
