It was partly Whirling Turban that made me want to diet. I measured myself for a dress and thought, no, I really can't order a dress with hips THAT big!
But they are incredibly well made. The bodice is boned so well you can go bra-less!
I am a bit worried about the dresses fitting us. Jessica's was from the boutique, so it was not custom-made to fit, and my measurements fell between two of the sizes offered, so I wasn't certain which to choose. We may have to lose or gain weight accordingly (most likely lose)! But there are several months before the wedding, so hopefully that's enough time!
I know it's not easy though, so you must be pretty proud of yourself!
As long as you've measured yourself properly you should be ok. And when I mean properly, I mean, don't pull the tape in so tightly round your waist that you turn blue. ;D *as i have done in the past and ended up with stuff I can't wear*

I think they're even in Canada...!
They skim off an inch or two!
