But after I finished writing it, I remembered how when I found the dress in my parents' attic after not seeing it for ages, seeing how tiny it was, and thinking, "Well, maybe i can replace the zipper with a corset back. Give it a little more room."

Didn't have to. It zipped. It was kind of PAINFULLY tight, but the sucker zipped and I wore it.

    WOW you look great! I think that the dress looks better on you now especially with all the muscle definitions!

    Amazing!
    My prom dress is a size 16, so hopefully if I tried it would be loose.

    A girl in the ladies room last night said, "I love your dress... did you just get that!?"

    Sweetie, this dress is older than YOU! :happy:

    Looks lovely. Hope you enjoyed the prom. I never went to mine either - for a different reason: I disliked the girls in my year. It's fine though, I've had grander occasions since then ;) Congratulations on being the same size you were when you were 20! I would even go so far as to say you're looking better now than you did then!
