I’ve married later around and I’ve been surfing for my bridesmaids something to make use of on a special day. And that is harder as it sounds.

I’d been awaiting feeltimes to create its new type of bridesmaid dresses for spring.

When it did, to my delight, it had been the color I’d been after, along with variations of styles within the same color, which I also wanted. Great. But you could only purchase them online. The dresses are “online exclusives” and never available in shops to check on. Not so great.

But these were exactly what I'd been after. I opted for this. I ordered 14 dresses. Yes: you read that correctly one, four. No, I am not (heaven forbid) having 14 bridesmaids. But people are different sizes in several shops – another matter altogether.

Then the emails kept coming. Four emails for the whole order, telling me once the order had left the warehouse, another four when the had been acquired for delivery, and four more notifying me about when I could expect it's delivered to the house.

emails then there's been dresses). And once they arrived at the house,  red bridesmaid dresses I had one further four emails telling me they have been delivered (take into account the energy wasted in lots of those emails).

After a few days, I unpacked them and sorted them out for every bridesmaid to check on (that took ages alone).
