else’s opinion, shall we?’ she smiled. I nodded and slipped off my dressing gown and held my arms in the air as she gently pulled it over my head and zipped it up at the back. I lifted the skirt and walked to the mirror and put my hands over my mouth as I blinked back more tears and nodded.
    ‘I love it,’ I whispered. It had a silver jewel encrusted bodice, which is what had caught my eye and layers of delicate white toile floating out from the hip, giving some fullness without it being too puffed out.
    ‘Is there anything you would change?’
    ‘It’s pretty much perfect,’ I sighed as I spun around and looked over my shoulder to see my bare upper back and shoulders. ‘If they had it with gold jewels instead of silver it would have scored eleven out of ten, but ten out of ten is just great.’ I bit my lip as I twirled again while Natalia tapped on her phone. The jewelled bodice cups hugged my breasts perfect, but if anything I’d probably have to go topless and lose the Basque, it was just showing over the top of the sweetheart neckline.
    ‘The Gods are smiling down on you today Mia, they have it in gold with the white skirt as well.’
    ‘They do?’ I gasped.
    ‘They do,’ she laughed as I quickly ran to the bedside table to get more tissues as I cried more tears of happiness. ‘Here, let’s take off that Basque, you’re so slim you don’t need anything to hold you in and your breasts will be supported by the bodice if required.’
    ‘Thank you.’ I went and stood in front of the mirror again as she showed me the picture of the gold one. I nodded and clapped. ‘That’s my dress,’ I squealed happily.
    ‘Let’s see what the others think, shall we? And I already know which bridesmaid dresses will go perfectly with this.’
    ‘It can’t be this easy, surely?’ I laughed. When had anything in my life ever been easy?
    ‘It’s never happened before, but that gives us all the rest of the morning off,’ she winked. ‘Wait here a moment and I’ll come and get you.’
    I watched her leave and lifted up my hair into a messy up-do with my hands and sighed as I looked at myself in the mirror. This was perfect, Gabe was going to love it, especially given it would be gold too. I sat carefully on the edge of my bed and pulled on my silver Jimmy Choo sandals, the height made the dress look even better and made me more confident to walk, as it skimmed my ankle bones instead of dragging on the floor.
    ‘You look stunning and you haven’t even done your hair or put any makeup on. Shall we?’ smiled Natalia from the doorway. ‘They’re all eagerly awaiting you in the lounge.’ She held out her arm and I linked mine with hers and headed down the long corridor and into the room where the four of them were sitting on the sofa facing me. Georgie screamed and covered her mouth, Lexi burst into tears and Mum and Sofia, instead of crying, sat in stunned silence.
    ‘O God, you hate it,’ I exclaimed looking at Mum. She shook her head, stood up and slowly walked over and held out her hands. I took them and looked at her confused.
    ‘You just took my breath away for a moment. O my God Mia, I thought you looked good in the others, but this … Lexi stop hogging the tissues, I need them. Now,’ she yelled as she turned around to snatch them out of Lexi’s hand and I laughed.
    ‘Lexi, I made you cry ,’ I giggled.
    ‘It’s so you, that’s your dress, not all those other hideous things you were trying back home. This is you. Gabe’s going to love it, Mia.’
    ‘I hope so. Georgie, I take it the scream was in a good way?’
    ‘It sure was Sis, you look amazing. I can see where all the tit genes went now, because I certainly didn’t get them. For God’s sake Mum pass the bloody tissues, you’ve set me off now.’
    ‘Mia, you look stunning,’ sighed Sofia as she grabbed the box out of Georgie’s hand.
    ‘Well, what’s even better is that they do it with a gold encrusted bodice,’ I smiled, happy
