    I purchased this wedding dress off ebay earlier in the year, I had no idea when I was going to use it, but it was just so lovely and going cheap (as most 1940s wedding dresses are) and then wore it in a fashion show in the summer, here are some pictures:

    Show us your hair do's....

    I can't do pin curls, no matter how hard I try! This may be because my hair is thick, or layered, or it may just be because it looks way to complecated!!!!:rolleyes: :) So instead I use rollers, the ones you sleep in, and considering how thick my hair is, the curl can last up to 2-3 days...

    Stains!!

    Hi Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'm not 100% sure it is a stain, but it only showed up after washing, and it looks light it might be deodrant, so might try and just re-wash the underarms, as this dress has the most fabulous sequined butterfly above the bust and i don't want to wash...
