How to dress to
Show your
true colour
DESIGNER Angy Morton's
Newcastle United inspired
wedding dress certainly got
people talking.
Angy, who runs her own fashion
design business near Lake
Windermere, decided to make the
dress in September last year in
protest at the way the club was
being run at the time. She ripped
up hers and husband Mike's
Newcastle United tops and make a
wedding dress out of them.
Although the dress isn't for sale
Angy is regularly asked to bring
the dress along to shows.
Angy has been asked to create
unusual wedding dresses before.
She said: "Medieval styles
really became popular last year. I
was also asked to make a dress
with dark navy crushed velvet �
there is nothing wrong with being
practical about you wedding dress
and choosing one that you can
wear again."

Picking what
of the mostW
hether you want to
spend a fortune on
your wedding dress
or your budget is a
little tighter, there is
a beautiful gown out there that
will make you look stunning on
your wedding day.
Before your first dress shop visit, it
is essential to decide on your budget
and then make sure you stick to it.
Dresses can range in price from
less than �100 to several thousands.
There are some choices that may
affect the price of your wedding dress,
including the fabric and whether you
buy it from a bridal shop, a High
Street retailer, the internet, a charity
shop or have one made for you.
You may have always wanted to
wear your mum's or grandmother's
dress, the most important thing is
that you are happy with your choice
and you feel special wearing it.
If you buy from a High Street shop,
you will probably be able to take it
away with you. If they have to order it
then you need to agree with them
when it will arrive and also whether
they will do alterations.
If you are between sizes then
always go for the larger size as it will
be easier to take a dress in rather
than taking it out, and make sure you
don't rush the decision.
