Back to school shopping

I took my daughter back to school shopping today, and while I was waiting for her to try on clothes I found a dress.  It was a size 18, because this store doesn't have any plus size dresses, only juniors & misses.  I thought, why not, try it on, what can it hurt?  Well....... IT FIT, I was so excited, I bought it!  I started this journey in a very tight 26 so 18 in a misses size is a big WOW for me.  Hope everyone is having an equally great weekend!

How AWESOME!! I can't wait to post a story like that. I am still newly banded, but very optimistic!! It makes me feel so good to read stories like yours!!

How wonderful is that.  Congrats!

Thanks for the replys.  I have been waiting to have a WOW story about clothes.  It really helps you see the progress you've made when you stand in front of a 3 way mirror.  It's also great to have friends on line to share with that understand what you are talking about.

I understand exactly what you mean.  I had gotten to the size 34 so for me the 18 was AWESOME!  People who haven't been where we are DO NOT UNDERSTAND at all!!  I'm proud of you for the first of many WOWS.  It's fun to be able to shop at normal places where we have so many choices and don't have to buy the only thing that will actually go around.  I think OMAR the tent maker didn't have very good taste in fashion at all!!!!  Way to go my friend.

LOL, I agree, OMAR was not very fashion concious.  I can remember being in high school & buying maternity tops because the only other clothes in my size were the double knit polyester smock tops at Wal-Mart.  Times have changed!

That is great! Congrats for being brave enough to just try them on too!
