Ooh I had such lovely eve last night - went shopping alone and most importantly child-free, to just mooch about and try on stuff. Bit weird but it's what I do each week to keep me motivated.
Anyway, tried on two dresses that I fell in love with for upcoming xmassy things, both fitted perfectly in size 16. I am expecting to lose about a stone in the next three weeks (in the past that is what I average at) and I tried on the 14's - it can almost do up but squashes my boobs and is a bit too short. In the end I bought one of the dresses in 16 and one in 14 but I want them both! And I want them to fit! Is squeezing into a 14 in a stones time unrealistic? I think that it is usually a stone and a half each dress size, is that right? What are other peoples experiences?
It might be worth mentioning that the dresses are fitted shift type dresses (belted waist, above the knee) and my body shape is hourglass with very well upholstered front and rear!!
By the way, felt so happy in the changing room - it was only 4 wks ago I bought a size 20 black 'sack' dress to - and I quote - 'make me invisible'. Now that's progress!!
Sorry for the rambling post - being succinct is not my forte!!
