I bought a dress on Saturday because I saw it in a charity shop and loved it. I looked at it, it was a style I've always liked and great condition, the price... absolute bargain, the size... only a couple smaller than now so a worthwhile buy! I bought it with the view to wear it to something in the middle of June. It said that it was an 18, and on my waist i'm 20-22 and bust I'm 18-20 so I figured it would be doable. But I've just had a look at it to see how much it doesn't fit. I can get it on, but it won't zip up totally... unsurprisingly! But as I've looked at it more I thought it looked a bit small for an 18 so just measured it up and it's a 14-16! But it's marked up as an 18 with no size tag inside!
I'm so so disappointed!! I'd had this whole outfit planned around this dress. I had plans to customise it and make it my own. And now there's no chance I'm going to fit in it! No chance at all. There's just over 5 weeks until I was going to wear it. I'd have to lose 6 inches on my bust, 6 on my waist and 8 on my hips! I could get away with a bit less on my hips though, but still probably at least 6. Those are based on last weeks measurements, so it's actually 6 weeks I guess. But still, I'm now not holding out much hope at all and am really disappointed!!
I've lost a lot of inches so far, 5 on my waist, 2 on my hips and 4 on my bust which I'm really happy with in two weeks, but I'm not expecting losses like that to continue and know they'll slow down. Well I guess it's time to start looking for a new outfit and hope that I can find one that gives me the confidence boost that one did without even wearing it.
*mutters something about stupid charity shops and they're stupid labels and sulks off*
