Holy shit, someone likes me.

I cannot believe I've done it.

I went down to Parkway parade, spent 2 hours there, and managed to find not one, but TWO dresses. Oh my god. You men may not appreciate this, but women will. Have you any idea how hard it is to find clothes for me?

My shoulders are very very straight and wide. I fill a 38B or C cup. My tummy is firm, but LARGE. lol. And my hips.... my hips... I think I am 44 inches at my hips. At least. lol. I look like a former athlete but you have no idea how heavily I am built. You cannot budge me if I don't want to be moved. And any man that tries to carry me will find his back breaking. I wear an XL, a UK size 18. Damn. I'm big. :o

So I tried on, like 20 dresses. Amazed enough that I can actually find dresses that fit. And that I would consent to wear. Patterned enough to please my finicky tastes.

And lo.

2 shops, side by side.
One providing the floaty, delicate, teal chiffon number I will wear to the church wedding. The other, providing a floor length champagne silk item with embroidery at the sides. Off the rack. Fitting my body in flattering styles. No alterations needed. To either of them. In 2 hours. And I like what I see in the mirror!


Un-FRICKIN-belivable. I can't believe how lucky I am. *whew*
