The Tale of the Bridesmaid's Dress - pics!

My sister got married in August of 2011. I bought a dress that fit well at the store, but was snug as hell on the day - it took two people to zip me into it! Anyway, here's pics of the wedding day and the tight dress:

I took these in April of 2012, when this dress was getting a bit too big:

And I took these today. I was going to wear this to a fancy dress party last week, but it (along with my strapless bra from the wedding) would NOT stay on:

Pardon my terrible hair, I'm a dog groomer and worked today, lol.

    And don't worry about the hair; my bestie is a dog groomer in Portland, so hey ~ you have a smile on your face. That's what matters!

    Great job!

    How did you possibly think you'd still be able to fit in it? You obviously have not been taking a real look in the mirror - you are SOO much smaller now! (you look a lot younger too!)

    Wow!! That is an amazing transformation! Great work.


    At first when I got to the third picture I was like "Oh god is that velour? Your sister is a horrible person"

    ...but then I scrolled the rest of the way down and it was all good.
