  1. Well done everyone for raising awareness , you all look wonderful. Guys I admire your style.
    I am with you in spirit but since getting FM I have put on so much weight my little?? black dress doesn't fit any more. lol
    Just wondering did the concept of the Black Dress Selfie move much outside the ME family?

    1. It seems to have spread quite well. One of my daughters was surprised to see it popping up "all over instagram" !! And with 3 pages of images, I can only imagine that some awareness must have leaked out!! (Finger's crossed.)

    1. Indeed - some humour, but all raising awareness. Let's hope the links get a bit of spin-off traffic.
