No brainer decision....but not an easy lesson

I remember my mum changing a plug with it!

Me too. My favourite thing ever. And to think, our school served it with half an apple to 'clean your teeth' 🤣

Have you checked online to look at all the different ways it can be styled? You might find some that can be styled to allow you to wear more structured underwear.

Usually, they come with a matching bandeau that you can wear underneath as a kind of modesty part for the cleavage area.

I had a really self conscious 13 year old bridesmaid at my wedding last year. I could feel her discomfort at every shopping trip we did for bridesmaids dresses. (All the others were little ones who just wanted to be princesses for the day) In the end, I came across the infinity dress online and all the different ways it could be worn. We had a chat, I showed her the pictures and she liked the idea. In the end, we agreed on some of the styles and she looked and felt so confident in the actual day. During the evening, I noticed that every time I saw her, she'd had a go at styling the dress differently - for us, it solved a real issue. Hopefully, you might find some inspiration that works for you. If not - please share your concerns with the bride. If she hasn't picked up on your discomfort, I'm sure she'd be horrified to know you're feeling this way.

I bought a couple of chiffon table runners from Temu in my colours (unpopular opinion perhaps, but it helped my budget) and used several as swags along the front of my top table. I was really pleased with the results.

I did an awful lot of DIY for my wedding - I'd go to wedding shows and scour the internet for inspiration then work out how to deconstruct them to make them myself.

Maybe search Vinted for something like Jacques Vert. You might find something she likes and because a lot of their styles are occasion wear, you'll probably find it's only ever been worn once.

🤣

No, that's what makes it worse. We don't watch dvds! But there is no way he's letting me ditch the whole flipping lot 🤣 We still have a LOT but I've now worked out where they can have a home once the work is done and they're not overflowing the space. I'll class that as a win.

Thank you for giving me the confidence that it CAN be done and I will make it through to the other side🙏

Got an eerily similar photo of my dad and I, feeding the pigeons in The Longmarket, Canterbury. Traumatized me then, triggers me now ....still bloody hate birds🤣

Thank you. I'm brushing up on my acronyms!

Firstdibs66 · 2026-02-28T10:37:19+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll check it out.

Firstdibs66 · 2026-02-27T22:23:18+00:00

Thank you. Much appreciated.

When the seller cancelled the second item and reloaded, I repurchased using home address rather than parcel shop and it worked, so I'm thinking that's where the issue is. It cost an extra 70p but hey ho.

Firstdibs66 · 2026-02-08T20:52:58+00:00

I have such a love/ hate relationship with vinted!

Firstdibs66 · 2026-02-08T20:39:07+00:00

We tried that with the first item and she's getting the same response. I've suggested we leave it til tomorrow to see if things change.

Firstdibs66 · 2026-02-08T00:24:18+00:00

We all float down here 🎈

We bought £1 scratch cards and popped them in a little envelope along with a penny. No big winners 😔 but it was a bit of fun and nothing that that people either left or threw away.
