Clothing insecurities. What would you wear now that you wouldn't before.

I think it's adorable and you MUST buy that dress!

I have the opposite problem-- there's things I happily wore at 368 that I can't now-- sleeveless blouses of any sort, swimsuits, corsets and lingerie-- it all looks like crapola. The skin landslides out every hole. I'd fall out the top of your dress.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might raid the change jar and like a little kid in a candy store - throw all my change up on the counter for the sales lady to count. LOL!

Interesting about what you would wear before but not now. But that skin is not long for this world.... the count down is ON! and in a few months I want to see some corset photos lady!

I sure would! You look great!!

I find myself much more daring with clothes, and sometimes I feel like I am trying to hard kwim? And my loved ones often seem unsure but like you said I think they just were so used to my sweatpants etc that it takes them a back....but at work where people didnt know me "fat", I get tons of compliments on my wardrobe so, I dont worry too much! LOL
Rock it girl!!

You are totally rockin' that dress!!!! I would definately wear it if I were you. I wore a strappy little sundress this weekend, and, yes, I was a bit concerned about my arms, but my friends didn't see any problems and I got tons of compliments!!! So.............. GO FOR IT!!!!!

Yeah, I'm thinking we are more self conscious about ourselves than what people are actually looking at.

Boy, after this thread I am so tempted to run back to the mall and claim my dress.

You're not bulgeing out or hanging out antwhere. You look great in that dress. Now put on some stelettos and rock it!

Daughters can't always appreciate a sexy young looking mom. Wear that out one evening and you'll know from the attention you get just how fabulous you look.

Stelettos???!!! That's a whole other topic! I'd need walking lessons first so I don't break an ankle.

Thanks for the compliment!

Buy the dress you look great in it. We see how you really look while you see what you used to look like. We see the real you. Buy the dress and wear it.
