Effie and Haggis are having a quiet afternoon, relaxing at home. Rowan and Sadie are out shopping for their wedding outfits, and Effie can’t help wondering what they are going to buy. Rowan hates dressing up, and there is no knowing what Sadie will think is suitable! But Effie doesn’t really mind what her friends choose to wear, the important thing is that they will be there on her big day.
Meanwhile, the girls are on a secret trip to Sadie’s friend’s bridal shop. Although it is going to be a quiet wedding, they think that if Effie is wearing a nice dress and Will is wearing his kilt, there really should be a couple of bridesmaids!
As there is not very long to go until the wedding, Sadie has opted to find a couple of ‘off the peg’ dresses. She thinks these green outfits will fit the bill – they will go well with Effie and Will’s outifts, and the colour will suit both of the girls too.
Rowan is horrified at the length – she can see her knees! She’ll have to shave her legs and wear tights! And they’ll freeze to death – it’s January! Wouldn’t a nice trouser suit be better?
Sadie, on the other hand, thinks that at least six inches off the length would be a big improvement. Rowan vetoes this immediately!
In the end, they decide to leave the dresses as they are – they both hate the length, but it’s halfway between what each of them want so it seems like a good compromise.
Rowan is still worried that they are going to freeze, but there are jackets to match the dresses. Rowan feels a lot happier now that she is more covered up.
One thing that both girls are agreed on is that they will wear flat shoes. As the bride is not able to wear high heels, then neither will the bridesmaids.
The girls are rather pleased with the finished effect. They just need a few accessories now.
Rowan thinks she will need to persuade Sadie to go back to red or black hair, it will look much better with the green dress. They both hope Effie will be proud of them when she sees them!
