A friend of mine is getting married on Saturday and I had nothing to wear, so...
I went to Lane Bryant and saw nothing I was even remotely interested in trying on. A couple doors down is a Dress Barn, so I went in there and found all kinds of things that looked good. I tried on several things (most of which were too big) until a friend who was with me brought me a "little black dress" (size 16) and a brown skirt (size 14W). ...they fit! The skirt was from the "Woman" side and the dress was from the "Misses" side. I nearly fell over when I put them on! I have a noticeable figure again!!! I guess the size 18 jeans just don't show it! I knew they were getting a little baggy, but WOW!!!!!

Re: Another NSV!
That is awesome!! I am so happy for you...I went in Lane Bryant on Monday, my first time in there in years. I could not fit anything in there anymore so I did not go in the store. Well I tried on clothes and the fit...That was a wonderful day...

Re: Another NSV!
What a wonderful shopping experience! I am so glad that your friend was with you to bring you some clothes. Could you feel the earth beneath your feet when you walked out of the Dress Barn? I bet you were on Cloud Nine!

Re: Another NSV!
Congrats, I too just went shopping for some new blouses and I ended up buying them all in 2x because 3x were way too big so I feel a little bit happy that I am dropping sizes!
