I don't think I could wear those girdles etc , at my own wedding it was a bit of a shock to discover I couldn't eat anything due to the tightness of my boned corset. My advice to all trying on wedding dresses would be - can you sit down in it?!Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247624645636227130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136614845718684854.post-61475820833679761512011-06-30T09:25:54.558+01:002011-06-30T09:25:54.558+01:00@Taimi Thanks for reading my post.

It was interesting looking back and seeing how so many styles have repeated themselves. I love the examples you chose!

It was pink with sequined butterflies and just gorgeous. I loved it so much but could NEVER fit into it.
