Holy Shiz-nit!! NSV awesomeness...
I gotta share this NSV b/c I'm just blown away. I paid for my bridesmaid dress b/c the shop just got it in a couple days ago. They're located in PA so they shipped it to me. Got the package this morning and opened it with trepidation. I ordered it before I had my surgery and had to guesstimate what size I'd be by September. This is the first wedding I'd been invited to be in the bridal party - other than my own! So, I was kinda nervous about the sizing and how it'd look. Well, knock me over with a feather because the size 16 nearly fits!!!! I have a couple inches to lose on my back but it fits thru the waist & hips! I cannot believe it. I'm gonna have to try it on a few more times to convince myself it's real. When I opened the package I thought "there's no way this dress is gonna fit my fatness" and I just proved myself wrong! I'm doing the happy dance now!!!
Just obliterated any self-doubt I was having this week......
