    Who cares what the number on a dress says? You know what size you actually wear...And I don't think you're going to be walking around in a bridesmaids dress on an everyday basis so who cares?

    Trust in yourself and your decisions. If you know you're making healthy choices and treating your body well, THATS something to be proud of. Not what the number on a dress tag that you'll PROBABLY only wear once says.

    When I graduated, I was wearing size 11 jeans. My dress was a size 18. Seeing the number felt like a knife to the gut. BUT dresses are sized differently. Be measured, take the size that fits. It's one day, and it's not about you. You'll have a great day. regardless of the dress, so just enjoy it!!!
