Tim and I are currently in England for a conference, which gave me the perfect opportunity to go dress shopping with my sister, Helen, who will be my chief bridesmaid. Since we haven’t yet decided on the colour scheme, it’s too soon to be choosing dresses, but I had hoped we could at least get some ideas about the styles we like to make it a little easier when we later need to co-ordinate buying our dresses on separate continents. It didn’t go well. I tried on just one dress in a hopeless shop where the staff didn’t even offer to help. Try getting what feels like a 6kg dress on by yourself! It was very like crawling into an unerected tent and then trying to stand up. All I have decided so far is that I do not like taffeta or sequins.
