Great find. As for packing, I used to think that pacing was not my forte, but after moving this month, I now realise that unpacking is not my forte either!!! I simply shoved all the boxes into the wardrobe in the hope that they would somehow organise themselves! Now, of course I can't find ANYTHING! At least we only moved to a place an hour away. I really feel for you having to pack up to move overseas, so hard to know what to take. Good luck!! that dress really is gorgeous! Great find.

I follow your blog all the time but I don`t comment very often but will have to make more of an effort! Glad you like the dress! I think I might have to go try it on when I go wedding shopping! sequined- We are having a garden wedding and it won`t be really really formal (I am thinking 3/4 bridesmaids dresses too!) but I still want it to be pretty! I would ask Shumpei to help but the reason I finished work 2 weeks before we moved was so that I could do the packing and not have to ask Shumpei to pack cos he will have work. Last time we moved I did it all by myself basically except I was still working full-time and doing three private lessons a week. i got stressed and took it out on Shun.....this time, while I still hate it, I am free to do my own thing for half the day and pack the other half! hehe! enny- I don`t like packing but I like unpacking but I am very disapointed that I won`t be able to unpack for over a year! I can`t believe you like packing!!! Crazy girl! Let me know if you see any other pretty wedding dresses....have you been looking? Nay- Thanks darling! Glad you like it! Your dress is stunning to and I can`t wait to see you in it! Kirsten- I would be going out of my mind if I hadn`t done any packing. I would be panicking so much!!!! Hope you have started packing now and that it is going well. good luck with your move! Midori- I am not sure I will enjoy wedding shopping or not. I kind of get stressed out clothes shopping cos everything looks crappy. Yet I love new clothes! Go figure! If I lose some weight I am sure I will be more happy about it!!! How is your weight loss challenge going?!? Where did you do your wedding dress shopping???? Packing really does suck! pomgirl- I definitely do have lots of lists. Things to do each day, things to send, things to pack etc etc.....I do love my lists! I am not very good at packing.....I get fed up and then end up putting a bunch of mismatched stuff in one box and writing misc. on it......Then never knowing what is in it when I go to open it (Finding shumpei`s soccer socks the other day caused a bit of a rush and was a challenge!) Sarah: Thank you! I will definitely be glad when it is over!!! sue ball: I am packing to move back to Australia for one year. I will check out your giveaway!!! Thanks for stopping by (I love the bottom of the dress also!) Jo: I know how you feel! Any hints? Thought about wine. I think I am going to give up booze and coffee in May (Even though my last two weekends here will then be alcohol free) I think I need to do it to get started on losing some weight!!!

It did my head in. I was still packing things while the removal man was loading the van finally! Now I'm sitting in a half unpacked state. Good luck! You have my sympathies! It did my head in.

It's then organising the stuff you've packed which I really hate; actually getting it from one place to another or to various different places. Good luck!

I loved wedding dress shopping, it was SO much fun. I hate packing too and when I was leaving Japan last year it drove me completely mad. I think moving countries is worse than any other kind of packing though as you are so limited with what you can/can't pack. Good luck with it all and just remember you will on the plane to Oz before you know it!! The dress is indeed beautiful! I loved wedding dress shopping, it was SO much fun.

FH and I move this coming Saturday and we have packed exactly nothing as of yet. This ought to be good... I love that dress! I could never wear it, but I bet you'd look lovely in it. And when did 15 year olds start modeling wedding gowns? I was amazed at how young (as in not old enough to get married) that model looks. I hate packing too.
