1 year, 35 pounds but the same dress!

In May 2012 I was a bridesmaid for my best friend, I wore a gorgeous multiway dress, but I had to have all sorts of structural help underneath the dress to even be able to wear it. My bra showed, my boobs were a weird shape because my strapless sucked, all in all, looked terrible. I'm even wearing Spanx so that it smoothed out my hips. I was around 185 in this pic.

Fast forward to July 2013, and I attended another wedding, and I thought I would use the same dress again (finally a bridesmaid dress I CAN actually wear again). I have not reached my ultimate goal yet, and my goal is pretty fluid anyways. It started out at 160lbs, then when I reached 160, I wasn't satisfied, so it changed to 150, and now I'm at 150, it's changed again to 140. At some point I'll be pleased and decide to call it a day! But here I am at wedding #2, at around 149lbs. No crazy boob shapes and no need for Spanx!

    Beautiful and happy. Nice combo. Thank you for sharing. First time I have ever seen or heard of someone being able to reuse their bridesmaid dress, I have about five of them. Well done. It is very pretty, expecially in the second picture.
