Love Ell & Cee – I had a pair of the silk “The Mrs” knickers for our wedding day, and also took loads of other bits from the collection at the time on honeymoon. I had a bit of a splurge before the wedding and decided that as a “wife” I had every right to own a drawer full of tiny bits of silk! Can’t say that they get worn QUITE as often as my brightly patterned cotton boyshorts but hey ho I bought a maxi dress and a shorter dress which were perfect for covering up my swimming cozzy etc. Oh a Laura has been uber-helpful and friendly every time I have ordered. And there’s just nothing quite like having a beautifully wrapped Ell & Cee parcel arrive

I love Elle & Cee. I have a pair of personalised knickers (they say Mrs Marriedname) to surprise my new husband…

Also, can I tell you a story about body confidence? A while ago I decided I was sick of people implying that, because I’m a bride I should suddenly feel bad about my body and diet. So because the man I love has asked if we can please only have sex with each other for the rest of our lives I am meant to feel BAD about myself? I did, for a while. I do not love my spare tyre, for example. But I also think life is too short to feel bad about the body someone else loves. I’d rather weigh a little more and feel happy and confident and not worry than have a ‘perfect’ figure and feel bad about myself. I know, from experience, that my fiance doesn’t notice if I gain or drop a few pounds. He does notice if I obsess over my body and do myself down.

So I stopped worrying about it. I carried on eating cake and chips and chocolate – not, like, all the time, I just didn’t give them up. And when I went back to my dress shop to be re-measured I said, look, I know I’ve put on weight and I don’t need to know how much, kthxbai.

Erm, nope. Lost two inches off my waist and one off my bum. I have no idea why. I don’t mean to sound irritating, or smug. It’s just that relaxing and not worrying about it hasn’t exactly had a terrible effect.

Great undies and fab photos too.

Everytime I feel fab, I think “Oh that means I can eat chocolate now!” – that is stupid no?!

I’m a 30FF – or 30G depending on the fit – and I have a link for all you lovely curvy ladies like me. I just found this website yesterday while mournfully trying to find bridal lingerie for my size that’s as pretty as the stuff that only goes up to a C! (and only goes down to a 32…) I think they have a bricks n mortar shop in London, too – http://www.lululonsdale.com/

While their online presence isn’t stuffed full of my much coveted bridal sets their blog makes it seem like there might be more in store – and the rest of the stuff is so gosh darn pretty I’ll forgive them.

Great timing, this is one thing that’s really stressing me out. Pretty sure Mr McC won’t really care what I’m wearing as long as I’m there but I wish I had the confidence to wear this…it’s all so pretty! Reckon wedding/honeymoon is the time when I can spend a silly amount on lingerie. I know Mr McC loves me as I am but when will my brain starting believing it?! I drive him mad with my lack of confidence sometimes lol. Guessing most of us are like that girls? For once I’d love to feel *ahem* …sexy…I blush when i even type that word lol Time to feel confident in my own skin! finishing finals is definitely a good excuse for a treat!

@Cat – Thanks pet, I have seen Freya advertised (they seem to do some lovely stuff!) so will give Sis a nudge.

@JOL – it’s funny you should say that….watch this space

@Laurraaa- have you tried COS? comfy but sexy stuff in there (I have some lovely grey cotton PJ’s)

@Mrs A-to-be – I was just looking at a pic of you (you should know why!) and you look really lovely, I actually thought your arms were really quite toned?

Hurrah for another fantastically well-timed post! Was just starting to research le undercrackers

Body confidence, hmmmmm… I have to be honest and say I’m not trying to change shape or sizebefore the wedding, more through lack of time to do it seriously (teacher training has taken ver my life!) I would be more inclined to do so if I thought I could maintain the size/shape I get to (whichwould be a more toned version of myself!), but I know that is unlikely, because I like food too much and exercise not enough

I reckon I could slip on any of the above outfits and guarantee that MrA would NOT be looking at a) my wobbly thighs b)my even wobblier arse c) the backs of my arms

Money well spent, I’d say

Very pretty stuff but I’d need some more support!
Really struggling to find some nice undies/nightwear for the honeymoon

@Cat – thanks for the tip. Will definately be check out Elle macphersons DD-G range.
@Sarah – So far I’ve always been a bravissimo addict but agree it seems to be a bit less reliable recently.
@Charlotte – re the skinny model comments… maybe you could persuade the next lot of real brides (plus or minus their best girls) to model some lovely wedding day fashion / undies / honeymoon fashions with their beautiful real bodies and give us all a boost?!

@Charlotte – you definitely don’t look like a boy! And you’re so lucky you can pull off the gorgeous Ell and Cee style stuff. Agree there is definitely a gap in the market for non trussed-up-like-a-satiny-chicken tacky bridal lingerie.

For your lovely Sis, Bravissimo does have some nice ranges (and some absolutely boulder holders, Agent Provocateur goes up to a G (I think)if you can afford it. I rate Freya as well. And the lovely Elle McP…
