I have a bit of a love hate thing with clothes shopping. I love the fabrics and patterns but generally dislike my pear shape and find it quite difficult to find things that fit me well. I'm a size bigger on the bottom than on the top so things that fit my hips tend to gape at my bust and vice versa, and because of this I tend not to buy clothes often.
I've been invited to 3 weddings this year and my jeans and floppy tops just won't cut it, so dress shopping has been thrust upon me. I never buy dresses - the last one I bought was my wedding dress - prior to that, I cannot actually remember buying a dress. I wasn't really looking forward to this shopping experience so was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't actually as painful as I thought it would be:

I am now the proud owner of 2 of these dresses (1 and 2) which should sort me out for all 3 weddings. Thankfully no one from the first wedding will be going to wedding two or three so I can safely do some dress recycling. Now all I need to think about is shoes, bags, hair etc.

I'm exactly the same shape - it's a pain, isn't it? But your chosen dresses are very pretty!
Nice choices, you will be the belle of the ball - after the bride of course, bit rude to upstage her dont'cha know!
I love number 3 especially, it has been winking at me from the front window display in Monsoon and have been dying to pop in and try it on, but have restrained myself being as I couldn't afford to buy it at the mo and no sense in torturing myself.
3 weddings, crikey!
