The last couple of days had been fantasticc, getting ready for my friends wedding with eyelashes, and hair done. My only stress was i couldnt find a dress to wear that fit and looked nice.
Went out to dinner last night, and some c%#t stole my phone !!!!!! It was secure, he couldn't do shit with it due to fingerprint lock, and remotely wiped. its the hassle of having no pphone on easter weekend when nothing is open.
Despite all that, police report done, using a tablet ith a new sim and old number
migrated over, and can pick up a new phone tomorrow if i have $250 excess.
The whole thing was just another stresser on top of other things, and sorting the wedding dress just tipped me over the edge.
So a year ago i knew my friend was getting married, she anted me to be the bridesmaid. Great! All i needed was a blue dress - any style, so long as it was navy blue.
The main issue is normal plus size shops only go to size 26 - i was about a 30-32 ? Im not even sure.
This left me with online options only - NOBODY does them my size.
I bought one online from lindybop.co.uk i thought it was ok but had to lose weight to fit it - i as struggling to do so due to the medical issues previously, so After months decided to find another store.
I found http://www.eshakti.com which is AMAZING! I ordered another dress, and a second backup one just in case. They even customise them to your measurements for $10
Only issue i had is that they don't shop to NZ, so i had to use a forwarding post from overseas (takes tie, costs money but ok)
By now we were a 4 months out from the wedding, and it took them 2 months to get here (I was in a panic). They arrived! i was so excited! I ran to my room to put them on and .... they were HUGE! i was swimming in them. Not even a size or 2 too big, but 4-5 sizes!
Spectacular dresses, hundreds of dollars spent, and i still had no dress!!!!
I started looking locally but no luck, however i do have seeing skills, an saw an easy design, so thought i would give it a go.
Another bunch of money down the drain, and waste of week, and now im in a panic. I made the dress, well most of it, I gave up when i realized it looked more like a cross between maternity wear and a moomoo.
So my super busy week, i had literally a 24 hour period to make a dress, and it failed. I grabbed one of the smaller 'super sized' ones from eshakti trying to adapt it, and it was just too big .
At this point its about 4 hours left of time, on a easter sunday, with shops closed. I popped a fuse and just started bawing my eyes out.
Nothing fit, and if it did fit, it looked fucking shit because i was so fat. The only shop bought dress i saw i liked the other week was black, so a no go.
Luckily for me i have awesome family - daughter noticed i seemed upset, called my husband who came into my bedroom.
In a panic he messaged y bestie who was getting married who came over and told me to not panic, i can wear the black one, we will make time to get it tomorrow or get a blue top or similar.
I appreciate these guys so much. Im still in a panic as now i have a 2 hour window to get that one dress, IF its still there tomorrow :/
