I must have pissed off the changing room people something chronic today - I went in with 18s, all of which were gapey, tried on a dress in a 16, which was too big, tops in 16s were too big, trousers finally fit in 16 (which I can't remember being my whole adult life!). Back and forth... :D

    SUPER!! Now the sales lady dropped a size too, because you kept her running back and forth with more clothes to try on :p

    Awesome!! What a good feeling that is. I put on a suit for church that I hadn't been able to wear for a while today.

    Awesome work! I was struggling to squeeze into my size 7 jeans for a long while, and I'm finally comfortable in a 5/6 again. (5's a still a bit too snug, but getting there!) All that time, however, the number on the scale never did change too much...

    Hooray for NSV!! :)

    Hey, it is gorgeous isn't it? I bought them in a shop in Stratford-upon-Avon called Aspire Style. The service was really excellent and I had a lovely time trying things on: http://www.aspirestyle.co.uk

    The daisy dress is http://www.feverdesigns.co.uk/tiger-lilly-daisy-print-skater-dress-blue.html. It was slightly cheaper in Aspire but I don't think it's on their website yet. The other one is actually strawberries and raspberries and it's from Lindy Bop - http://www.lindybop.co.uk/all-dresses-c1/ophelia-vintage-inspired-scrumptious-berries-print-swing-party-dress-p1204. I am a little grumpy as I discovered tonight that LB sell them online *much* cheaper than what I paid in store (like, a LOT), but I don't live near so can't return and re-buy. Chalking it up to experience!

    If you need sizing comparisons DM me :)

    Great NSV! It's so strange to think you are one size and have it not fit.

    I managed to drop two sizes - from an 8 to a 4, in the past year without a corresponding drop in weight, myself.

    I think they do ship US? Unfortunately, until today I had no idea they were a brand with a site etc, since I was just in-store I wasn't aware! But I will know for the future - and that site is amazing, thanks!
