Tomorrow I go to Amsterdam and I know this diet is going to go to shit, spirits are apparently hellishly expensive there so no low calorie vodka for me. I have the option of beer or wine, beer is totally high in cals, wine makes me violent. Maybe it would be best to simply not drink. To push me in the direction of this weightloss thing (I’ve fallen off the wagon majorly,) I am going to post some gorgeous clothes for you and I to dribble over.
Starting with the hotness that is: www.fairygothmother.co.uk
– I think Ben said I could have a corset from here when I get down to a 30 inch waist (which means I could corset to 28iches :D).
The corset you see here I could get now in my size but not having £265 and I’ll lose too much weight to wear it soon it would be a waste of money. However, I will b wearing a gorgeous steel boned, under bust corset by christmas. The site also has wedding dresses and lingerie and although I’m not getting married I can’t stop thinking about it. When I do get married I shall be white corseting it up. The good thing about this place is that they have a store so I could go in and try on loads of gorgeousness. I just need to get myself all wasp waisted before my wedding date (ha, sound like I’m having one) so I’ll be comfy.
The Dress below is lovely, longline corset, massive skirt. Ugh. Too much. Want to get married.
It would set you back £900 but bloody worth it to look that amazing on your wedding day. There’s obviously an art to wearing a corset anf I certainly still haven’t mastered it, lots of sitting up straight or just standing around would be preferable. I guess at your own wedding thought you don’t do much sitting about, it’s all about the dancing and talking to people. Although if it were me I’d have to stand up to eat the buffet or whatever food was there.
Moving on, enough dribbling over pretty corsets I want to move onto my idea for my thin 50s inspired look. I intend to fill my wardrobe with 50’s swing dresses vintage swimsuits etc. And I believe I may have found the perfect sites to do it from. I touched on the Vivienne of Holloway site when I spoke about my 50’s halterneck (loads of pics of me to come after the wedding and this weekend.)

Here they sell40’s and 50’s dresses as well as accessories. Below are some of my favourite pieces that I /will/ be buying.
A dress like this with a pirate theme. Well it might actually be my perfect dress. I’ve got to be seriously slim to wear something like this and I will be but even then I might need some shaping underwear. I will be able to wear this and I will be the raping and pillaging (in a metaphorical sense..) bell fo the ball. I have a very slim waist compared to my hips and chest so this dress would totally accentuate my curves even if I am less curvy when a size 12.
I love yellow and I love the pastel colour of this dress it is amazing. It’s the same style as my polka dot one but would be harder to pull off at my current weight because of the light colour. I really love how this model is wearing it with a pastel pink too, makes me think of sweets. I guess the last thing your ‘thin’ dress wants to remind you about is sweets though.
This swimsuit is the style I want for when I’m thin, an added bonus with this is the fact that it is natutical which is always a bonus. I reckon the cokour would be terribly flattering too. I can see my self by a pool on down the beach, dark hair all tied up, blue sarong around my waist and a torso of nautical awesome. I’m certainly going to be a lot more alternative when I’m thin because I can. Now I have to go for the comfy stuff that just suits me. Urgh, think I’m back on the train now to thindome. Will do EASA tonight. Maybe not… After Amsterdam things will be back to normal!
I’ve also decided that for this look I need a tiny top hat.
I’d also love to rock the nu-rave / electro / cyber look. Pictures below. I think it’ll be a long, time before I can pull this off and strictly for clubbing only methinks. New post to follow with my top picks for the rave look.
