Shopped in a Plus Sized store..... AND LOVED IT (long)

I just wanted to share this because I am excited about the dress I bought and my experience. I have a bachelorette party this weekend I am attending. I have no nice going out dresses so naturally I had to go buy one. I have one nice dress and I bought it too small as motivation to lose weight. I still cannot fit in it so no luck there. So I went to the mall after work today in hopes of finding a cute dress. I HATE CLOTHES SHOPPING with a passion. So I was dreading it. I started at one end of the mall and worked my way around. Walked into pricey shops only to be looked at strangely when I asked about a cute dress for a bachelorette party. I have nothing about skinny women except ones that work in clothing stores. They dont understand what I want nor care to listen. Sorry if youre a skinny woman who works in a clothing store just all bad experiences here. I tried on about 15 dresses in several different stores. I went to Delias and the sales person there wasnt listening to what I was looking for. She was just shoving dresses my way that she thought was cute. I didnt like any of the dresses she gave me because they accentuated my mid section which I did not want obviously. Thats just how it was in all of the stores. The last store I came to was Torrid Plus Sizes. I was leary about it because it was plus size. I dont want to label my size. I walk in and I am pretty sure I look miserable. My eyes are darting around and scanning for dresses. An associate comes up to me and asks me what I am looking for. I throw out the negatives and tell her what I want and I can tell I am being difficult and I feel sorry. But the associate kept on going and didnt give up helping me. She asked me how I felt about patterns and etc. She was picking out dresses for me and bypassing the princessy frilly crap. We picked out four dresses. I thought they all looked nice on me but there was one I loved. It was the one that I was most uncertain about trying. It was one of those body forming strapless dresses. BUT the associate told me that I must try all of the dresses on because one can be pretty surprised. So I tried it on last. I LOVED it. My midsection wasnt accentuated etc. I could still see it but it wasnt awful. She suggested if I was still iffy about it, I could try spankies. So I tried it on with a pair of spankies. Oh my word! It looked wonderful! I bought it. I love it. I was so appreciative of the sales associate. She was a godsend. I love the dress that I bought. I never wouldve picked it up without her help. It is a form fitting dress. Clings to the body! Beautiful and I look great in it!

Thanks for reading! I was just excited!
