Oh what a dilemma!

Um, 00 is Juniors LOL, the next step down would be little girls.  I remember an episode of What not To Wear and the girl was 4'11" also.  All she had was clothes from the girls' department and was frustrated no one took her seriously.  They basically told her she would have to buy a 0 or 00 and just have everything tailored, no getting around it.

I understand about your mom-in-law being your tailor, lol, my mom is mine too.  You may be alright with a 0, like you said.  Anything that has stretch will be more friendly to you than, say, satin or another non-stetchy material.  Have you seen any dresses that have caught your eye that you're thinking about?

I would wait.  Some doctors require you to wear a sports  type of bra for 6 weeks which would leave the girls being flat.  If you are having a LBL you may have lots of swelling.  You maybe wearing a sak style of dress to address all your new body parts.  Good luck and I am sure you will be happy with your results.

Ohhh, good point.  I had thought that my 3 weeks the swelling would be gone, but I've never had plastics so what do I know, lol.

I bet a good trapeze dress would work well, it's *meant* to be all flowy and not clingy.  You can always add a cute belt if you felt you needed some "definition"

Yes,
A trapezze style dree would work out well.  They are very much in style and are cute.  I wore them a lot after having my BL/BA and som TT revision work done recently.  They were very comfortable and I wore them with my binder and surgical bra.  I would maybe go up a size or the size you would normal wear as long as it was somewhat loose fitting.  i did not mean a real sak or implying an ugly dress.

Being a woman with larger boobies...I would say you cannot go wrong with a dress that is a halter top...you can pull in or let out on the tie back around your neck...you could be a Triple F and probably still be fine with a halter type dress. I have to wear a size 2 jacket for the girls and a size 0 for the slacks...I am a 34D.

June is getting boobies soon!!!!!!! La de da....Mexico here we come, babeeeeeee!!!

Susie did you lose any boobies? I went from a 44 DD to my last measurement of 36D but I still think the 36 DD fits better, although the volume in these girls are sad.

Oh yes, I did lose...I was a tight 38DD and now being 34D and might be able to slide into a C cup. It could use another lift, but I had had a lift a couple years ago and it has helped keep the girls up a bit more. Without an earlier lift, I think they would have collapsed around my ankles for sure!!! Now what would my men have thought about that????? sheeshhhhh

*singing* "do your boobs hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?"

LOL - I never thought that was funny when my mother would sing it to me - but then men would tell me it wasn't that bad - now I just want to go back to NOT having boobies!

NO man or woman is worth your tears... and the one who IS,
won't make you cry!!

You will have swelling post op for 6-12 wks.  My dad is a PS and always says that people come in disappointed at their first post op chek because they aren't as small as they expect so you may have to go bigger than you will be 3 months from now.

Here's an idea- how about you and Cheyene go shopping together and see if you can pass as twins!
