We are going up to visit my husband's Aunt. So I am looking for something to wear (I need to do laundry). I got out this shirt I got last year from Lane Bryant. It ended up being a very small 28 and I could not wear it. It is a guazy material. Well I put it on and it FITS! Perfectly. Then I got excited. I had gotten this real nice trench coat last fall from Jessica London catalog. I had ordered it in the wrong size and got a 24. I could not even get it up on my shoulders it was so tight. I go in and try it on. It FITS! It fit just fine around my shoulders with room to move. I can not button it all the way down, but by this fall I should be able to wear it with no problems. I am so happy.

Great job Melissa! It is amazing how fast our bodies can change. Just be prepared, by fall that coat may be too big!
