I went shopping today with my mum for dresses for my cousin's upcoming wedding. With 3 weeks to go we thought we should probably get organised.
I went to a shop near us called City Chic. It used to be called Big City Chic, but they dropped the 'big' about a year after they opened. Needless to say, it's a fat girl shop. I like them because the clothes they make don't look like sacks on big girls - they are designed with the fuller figure in mind, so they suit me!
Anyway, I went in there expecting to find something. And I did!!! The most amazing thing is that I found a dress AND a little bolero jacket. I tried on both in the medium, and thought - ooh, that's a bit big, I might try the small. AND THE SMALL FITS!!! It's a smidge tight, so I'll have to be super good for the next three weeks to make it a little comfier, but still..... IT'S A SMALL!
Soon.... I might be able to shop in a normal shop!!!

It's a fantastic feeling isn't it... it's even better when you no longer have to shop in specialist places. I've always been an Evan's girl, but I've found now that I can shop pretty much everywhere now (still have a very long way to go).
Congratulations on getting this far, and I hope you really enjoy the wedding...0 -
