My red ruffle dress came today.

I'm so very proud to say that it fits!  It's a wrap around dress and there is no gaping or pulling.  I will wear a body shaper under it just so I look smooth, but it is the smallest dress I have worn in years.  I felt gorgeous when I tried it on!

Now, of course, I will be on a quest for the perfect shoes to wear with it that feel good on my feet.  Maybe some soft ballerina slippers or something like that.

I know I'm going to be wearing it a zillion times when the weather gets warmer!

    What an amazing feeling!  You absolutely, positively deserve this moment, and I hope you're proud of it! :D

    And I bet you will be causing traffic accidents in that ;)

    Happy shoe hunting!

    You'll have to come back after you get a chance to wear it and let us know about that, too!  Every woman needs a dress like that.  And you deserve it!

    Wombat,
    Thank you.  I hope it will be warm enough to wear it for Easter.  I'm going be va va voom instead of sweet this year.  :-)

    Mamie,
    I've decided to start calling myself a work in completion instead of a work in progress.  :-D  "In progress" implies that I will never be finished.  You're rubbing off on me.  Thanks for everything.

    Infernal,
    Thank you so much.  It will be flattering if I do turn a few heads. :-)

    skald,
    Thank you!  I'm getting so close to being her size.  I want to be glamorous like her.  That is a lovely photo of Marilyn Monroe.  :-)  I've been told I have the lips.

    blue,
    You are sweet.  :-)

    Mimi,
    Thank you.  I do feel beautiful in it.  I'm not perfectly svelte, but it's knocking on the door.

    MMI,
    I will be dancing for a while! Thanks!

    secret,
    Thank you.  It's a big confidence booster.

    SkinnyW, that's great news, doll!  I have had this total change of attitude re food and the things that previously had me gripped, I cant believe how all of a sudden I'm just saying "No thank you". . .I feel great.  Mr Polar and I even did some exercises in the lounge last night, nothing strenuous, but it was good and it made me feel happy.  I think I may in due course also post an "I am ordering this dress" kinda post of my own :-)  You've been and inspiration to me ((((hugs))))
  • CreativeWoman said on Jan 23, 2008....
    Polar,
    I'm so glad you are feeling better about yourself.  I'll be looking for your "skinny" post too.  :-D 

    Keep up the great work!
