I Can Has Dress!
I picked up my wedding dress on Wednesday, and it’s the right size, color, etc. There were a few loose beads, but it was duly noted in my file that they will be fixed with no extra charge at alteration time…which is March.
My new challenge to is not make any drastic changes to my current physique between now and June 1st. I have put on about 20 pounds since I bottomed out at a size zero, and admittedly, about half of that was necessary. Still some of my pants are getting awfully snug about the tummy, so a little discpline at this point is not a bad thing. Having lost 70 pounds previously, ten just doesn’t feel like that much of a big deal.
In the mean time, I have cleared a couple of “vintage” prom dresses out of my closet, to be duly Goodwilled, in order to make room for the dress. One was bought as a costume, and is a mid-eighties peach-taffeta-and-lace, Scarlett-O’Hara-wannabe monstrosity; the other is of the same era, white taffeta and lace with silver glitter, and rather silly in its own way, with a handkerchief skirt and sleeves.
I like the new dress much, much better.
