coming from a girl who was a TIGHT 28 , this is a HUGE thing!
I had to get a dress for my sons graduation for this coming SAT . I tried on 40 dresses, all different sizes, Misses 18, plus size 16..... it had to have black in it to match my shoes, and it had to be in my price range ( cheap, since I wont wear it again cause I wont fit in it for long, :tongue: ) and look good on me. So two malls later ,and 40 + dresses later, I found the one, and it was a size 16 plus. I was thrilled!

Had to share,
Tami

    it was this amazing feeling... the best part of all was when I opened the dressing room door looking for a three way mirror, and a lady asked me if I was looking for someone, and I said no, a mirror, and she said, " well you look great!" .. I was like , ok then! lol

    I think you look younger because of your hair. Long hair looks like the ticket for you, not me I like my short and my husband does too. (ha-ha)

    One thing is certain after viewing all your pics---you definitely DON'T LOOK your age. I would take 10 years off, easily!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Congratulations on your loss. I bet you will have a fantastic summer!! BTW we are located in the same state. I am in SW WA.
