I made myself a dress of scarlet silk and lace for our wedding, and bought a kid leather custom made corset to wear over it (to reduce my size by 15cm). Aside from the fact that I am no longer as svelte as I was in my 20s and 30s, I am also incredibly unphotogenic, and that's not just my opinion - photographers often comment on it, sometimes with astonishment as they look at the photo they've just taken. So... I looked like a tomato with heels. My sweetie husband photoshopped our wedding photos to make me look slightly less pudgy. That's one more reason why I love him!
