My BM was with me when I chose the dress, so she has seen the sample. My grandmother saw it too, she was with me when I went to get measured and try on again. My mother, FMIL, sister and quite a few friends have seen the internet picture. I don't mind showing it to people at all, but was kind of annoyed that when I emailed the internet picture to my mother she forwarded to my sister without asking. Whenever the actual dress arrives in the shop and I go for fittings I think I will just bring my BM and maybe my grandmother. It will probably go to granny's house then until the day before the wedding so H2B doesn't see it in our house.

God I am showing it to anyone that will look! My mum keeps telling me not to, but I have photos on my phone that I whip out at a moments notice! :roll: :blushing The people who have seen me in it are my mum, my 2 BM, my aunt, her son (who is 9, but HAD to see the dress) and my mum's friend (as she is storing the dress in her house, and she wanted a peek, and I wanted to put it on again!) God I'm terrible... :frown :smileybride

My sister and friend (two out of my 3 bridesmaids) were with me when I chose what I wanted. My mum is coming with me in a couple of weeks to see it (and I am really really nervous about that :totallybarf ) The other bridesmaid and a really close friend have seen pics of what it looks like. I am dying for h2b to see it, and he is the one to tell me not to tell him anything about it :lol: So hard keeping that from him. letmeeatcake you are not terrible at all, in a couple of weeks when I go, its to put a deposit down on it, and she is going to make it, so I am hoping to be able to take a photo then, so i will find it really hard not to show people!

my MIL came with me to pick out dresses, and my bridesmaids, and one very close friend have seen me in the sample, im not getting married for over a year but i fell in love with it and i know its the one im getting, im not snowing anyone else, theres a few people from work getting married around the same few months as me and one of them is already taking all my ideas so im keeping things fairly secret :)

My mom, my BMs and my hairdresser who is also a friend were the only ones who saw my dress before the big day!
It was funny on the day because lots of friends had pictured me in a completely different style of dress. I'm glad to say they were pleasantly surprised :D

My mum, and aunt have seen the dress as they were with me when I got it. My sisters (bm's) have seen the dress on me aswell as we showed them when I took it home but thats it. I'll not be showing it to FMIL or FSIL.

H2b says im not allow to tell him about it as he start getting a picture of it in is head and will guess what it looks like. :dizzy coz he knows sooo much about wedding dresses and sure they are all the same really :lol:
