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!

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!

(You always make me smile when you call me SkinnyW.)
