    I need some hive help! No friends or fi around to go shopping with, so I went on my own this morning to find a dress for our engagement party (EP) which is this weekend.

    I think I like what I got, but I did spend more on it that I was planning on... do you think it looks ok, or should I return it and get something cheaper/nicer? Hmmm.

    We're having a dinner BBQ with 60 - 70 people, I wanted something comfortable (which includes me not having to worry about exposing myself or my undergarments haha), pretty and flattering. I have made a poll for anonymous (=honest!) voting, but please feel free to comment honestly too - I'm hard to offend. Please excuse the make up-less, completely none done up hopeless self photos!

    Sorry! Was having some technical difficulties and having to resize them what felt like a million times! Fixed now :) Had to resort to photobucket!

    I think that it looks great on you, it's flattering, and will look great in pictures. No more worries :)

    I LOVE the fit on you. I think it's super cute. But, I'm not feeling the pattern, sorry! I know the florally trend is in right now, but it feels too, er, vintage for me. I don't want to say grandma, I really don't....It's not my style (me = solid, bright colors mostly) but if you really love it, that's all that matters!

    Wow, division! Thanks guys. Lol ejs4y8!! I guess I'm a bit grandma sometimes so hey haha. Think I'm gonna curl my hair and go the whole hog ;)

    I showed it to fi and he loved it (even when he accidentally found out how much it was, grrr), thought it was pretty & girly and I can wear it a lot of places. So, half the hive loving it and fi loving it is good enough for me :P
