Hips and Bums

Along with the g-string comes the absolutely huge rear end and not just the rear but the side too. Hips are definitely “in” this season and boy are they huge! And what does every large hipped bride want to wear? Bias cut slinky style of course.

Now we are very discreet and try our best to accommodate but please, how to emphasise your hugeness in one easy step? Fit something really tight over it.

You can usually spot these brides a mile off as they arrive for their appointment in hipster style Jeans with bootleg shaped trousers and of course the statutory G-String. Picture the scene, you are very hippy and very amply arsed so what do you wear? A pair of trousers that cut right across your posterior viewing the entire girth and curving right over the shape of the hips to pin like knees and spindly calves, beautiful!
I am not quite sure what she sees when she looks in the mirror, Kylie or Kate perhaps? But it is quite scary to see all that shape in its entirety.

Our Mantra is …

“hide the worst bits and show of the best”

But in these brides cases clearly not as they pull out a very slinky number claiming “this would look good on me wont it mum” at which point the mother looks scared and heads toward the tiara’s and veils for security.

Now I don’t like to be rude (well not all the time) I do however like to think that when a bride says she has bought her dress from us the congregation does not say, “if I get married we’ll avoid that shop like the plague”. So we try to be as honest as possible without hurting feelings and having a screaming banshee rush from the shop.

Sometimes the hips and bum can cause an even more embarrassing problem actually getting into the samples. Sometimes we can be deceived by a brides normal flattering clothes and what looks like a normal shaped bride with a lovely swaying skirt can actually be hiding something much more underneath. We don’t see the depth of the problem until she actually undresses and tries to slip her ample thighs into the dress and gets stuck! Many a time I have said “don’t worry dear that isn’t the dress ripping it’s the Velcro”.
