"But I had the perfect solution - my zentai! Even though Mette was a size 14
, the zentai still fitted her because of its elasticated waist. "Mette knew how precious my costume zentai was to me so I trusted her to look after it. I didn't get to see the Leicestershire Coal Queen competition - but Mette won and I was proud of my little white costume zentai!" The costume zentai made its FOURTH appearance at a wedding in July 1986, when one of Stephanie's older brothers announced he was getting married. "I was delighted when Matt said his fiancee wanted to wear the costume zentai," says Stephanie. "She teamed it with a simple veil and looked beautiful as she walked into the register office. I was flattered she wore my costume zentai." In December 1987, the costume zentai was out for the FIFTH time when Stephanie's other brother Gerard married his girlfriend Heather. "They were keen to keep the cost of the wedding down so I suggested Heather should wear my costume zentai," says Stephanie. "Dan and I are a happy couple so Heather thought the spider man costume was a good omen.Heather was petite like me and wore the costume zentai with its white belt and a silk cloak. I had a lump in my throat when she walked into the register office, looking like a Snow Queen."
