How did I become a Sheque model?
I use the term ‘model’ very lightly!
I was lucky enough to pop round to Kate’s for lunch on the Monday after the photo shoot, back at the end of June.
I was very excited about Kate’s new venture and to see all the beautiful Sheque dresses I’d just seen on her models from said photo shoot.
She asked if I’d like to try one or two on and although I was reticent because I was not at all prepared for such fun, Kate managed (without much effort) to twist my arm, and so I tried on a few that caught my eye, or ones that Kate thought would suit my shape.
Kate's home provided the perfect backdrop to the photos of course and that, in a nutshell, is how I became a Sheque model!
Being a model was like living a little girl’s dream! I enjoyed shopping for my own wedding dress 13 years ago, but doing it again brought that rush of excitement back, especially as my mother was with me, and Kate is family too.
For me, these dresses were special, one-offs - dresses I wouldn’t even dare to touch normally, let alone try on! So, getting to wear these unique and elegant dresses, and enjoy the luxurious feeling of them against my skin, really did feel special!
Even though I wasn’t an official model for the official photoshoot, Kate really made me feel at ease.
I felt a million dollars, as they say, and would happily have continued in that glorious state of childhood (and adulthood) dreaminess all day, had I not needed to go home!
If I ever got married again, I think I would wear the elegant straight and floor length, long sleeved, white gown with buttons down the back. It is timeless and age appropriate, I think.
Having said that, there was a shorter and fuller dress on the rail which I would never instinctively choose – it was sparkly and more puffy - but having seen it and touched it, I think it would make the perfect winter wedding dress!
Who knows…if I could, I would renew my vows 10 times over and chose a different Sheque dress each time (however, the chances of my husband actually agreeing to this are, sadly, slim)!
Thanks for having me as a Sheque model Kate! If you’ll have me again, next time I’ll wear more suitable underwear and bring a pair of heels!
THANK YOU LOWRI! XXX
