Look what I have...

Also, because I bought a gown from Lisa Ho, I got to choose one of their perfumes, usually $170. I chose this one:

It's not what I will wear at the wedding, but it's lovely for now.

The dress doesn't appear online or in the catalogue, though I wouldn't have posted them anyway because EA reads this (hi EA!) - also I want to keep up some mystery about the wedding. Suffice to say that it was the only dress that I have literally jumped up and down in with excitement. It's definitely the one. I have to get it taken in around my ribs and shortened, but I'm not going to do that until about May, as I don't know what my weight will do. All I know is that I can't put any weight around my butt/thighs - it's good just how it is, but I don't want to feel self-conscious in it. It's quite drapey, not at all princess-y.

The Lisa Ho head office was kind enough to send me photos of the dress on a mannequin, so I can show people who want to see it in the meantime.

So in the new year I can look for shoes and jewellery, and I can now decide how I should wear my hair/makeup. All that will wait for around March/April though.

I can recommend Jessica at Lisa Ho in Wintergarden - both times I went in (the first by myself, the second with my little sister) she was super helpful, honest and lovely.

So excited!
