Ok right, my current measurements are..
Bust - 41
Waist - 37
Hips - 46
So let's say 41-37-46, I'll keep them all in that order!
A 16 is, using monsoon and debenhams, 40-32-42
I need a bigger bust don't I!!!
There are 8 weeks left to go until the wedding. So if I work out my average losses, I should be able to see if it'll fit me!
I've done 12 weeks, but had 3 weeks off. So let's say 9 weeks.
I started as 48-45-54, but then, first week is big losses, so if I ignore that it's 46-41.5-53.
So in 8 weeks I've gone from 46-41.5-53 to 41-37-46, so have lost 5 off bust, 4.5 from waist and 7 from hips. If I was to lose the same again I'd be... 36-32.5-39.
Hmmm. I think all I've realised is that I just can't work it out! That's fairly close to a 16 so should be able to do it. I do seem to lose an inch off my hips most weeks, and bust and waist kinda alternate, so would be about right.
Argh I think I should maybe just wait a bit! Only reason I was going to buy something now was there was a sale, but that's not worked out anyway. So I think I'm going to just wait! How confusing is all this?!

Hi Caroline,
Do you have a Monsoon anywhere close to you that you could collect from? I've called my nearest in the past, and even if they haven't had what I wanted they've located it for me to go in and collect... in the days before my ass got too big of course :sigh:
The black dress would look fab with a big hat (some good ones in the M&S sale) and strappy killer heels, but the Polly jade one is lovely too and looks as though it would be really good with your colouring.
I spent a small fortune yesterday online in the Next sale, all size 16's and ready for my hol in 10 weeks time. I've still got some way to go, I'm 20/22 currently, but it was lovely to choose things and not be constantly thinking does it make my bum look big... well OK, I don't think that at present either cos I KNOW my bum always looks big, no matter what I wear!
Hope you find what you're looking for.

Hi Anni,
I got on at 7pm and it was really slow even then. I heard from a friend that the website crashed later in the evening.
I did get some good stuff... mostly for my OH, but some holiday stuff for me as well. You know the Next sale though, half of it won't turn up anyway
