I buy nearly all my dresses from a dress exchange in the next town. The shop is owned by a very helpful lady who thought it very funny when I said I wanted a ballgown for myself, but now she helps me to dress and saves some of the nicer dresses specially for me. I just love wearing wedding dresses, there is just something about their weight, the smell and the feel of the smooth satin, and the idea of submission which goes with them. It gets me really aroused when I wear one.

Some of my dresses have come from adverts in the local paper, but I prefer to buy them from a Bridal Boutique when they are having a Sale.

I feel really nervous when I go into a new shop I haven't visited before, in case they throw me out, but generally they are keen to sell me a dress so they show me what is available at my size and price, and usually let me try it on.

Generally the assistants think it is all a bit of fun, and they all come and help get me dressed up.

I once went into a shop to buy a dress, and the owner thought it so amusing, that she fitted me up with a wig, veil etc, and called her neighbours in from the shop next door to see me - I nearly died on the spot.

These pictures are some of my favourites from a succession of Bridal Gowns which I have owned, and which I thought other people might like to see.
