Question:
Dream outfit postop

Hi everyone: Just wondering. Does anyone have a dream outfit they would like to wear postop. It can be anything from sexy undies to formal attire to tight fitting jeans. My daughter is being married in 2004, and I often dream about wearing a long purple dress with a big slit and a little jacket over top for her special occasion. I know everyone has given this a thought even the guys. Love Grace    — Grace H. (posted on October 15, 2002)

I'd like to get into the suit I wore for my college graduation back in 1984 (if I still have it *G*). I also hope to lose enough weight to get back into my original wedding ring (married in 1985).

Isn't it nice to think that we will acheive this goal. I want to wear a short skirt and a sleeveless shirt without looking like a sharpei puppy. I think it is funny everyone thinks they are so cute, but when I look in the mirror and see one, not so good. What a wonderful question.

Six weeks before surgery, we were helping my Mom clean out her house to sell. Upstairs in my old closet were my size 15 prom dress (pink of course) that I wore in 1965. I also found my size 14 wedding dress that I wore in December 1967. I brought them home and hung them in my closet here, in hopes that I will be able to fit into them again.

Definitely a spangly-sparkly tube top with sequins on it - hot pink - and a pair of gold lame hot pants - with some high heeled go-go boots!!! KIDDING!! Really I would want to wear a tight fitting sweater and a slim fitting pair of jeans - none of those yucky low-rise flare leg jeans I see out there today - but some of the tapered leg jeans that we wore back in the 80's. Fun question!

Things I'd love to be able to wear: (1) a "little black dress" with sexy spiked heels; (2) a bathing suit (without needing a cover-up); (3) Levi's! Gosh, it's been since high school since I've been able to wear a pair of Levi's. Now that will be cool. Oh yeah, I can't forget lots of new things from Frederick's of Hollywood... ;o) heh heh

Low rise, flared leg Tommy or Gap jeans with fitted tank or tee.

Honestly, I don't think I'll dress much different than I do now. Obviously I want more flattering clothes and not pick the biggest size off the rack. I'll look forward to shopping at stores like Old Navy (I can wear a men's XXL shirt but that's it) and buy cuter (But not slutty) clothes. However, the most **daring** thing I want to do is get a small tattoo of a ladybug on the back of my shoulder and be able to wear a nice tanktop to show it off :) I'm actually thinking about getting it pre-op to see how we'll I can tolerate pain, plus I have more "padding" now. But I don't know how it'll look after I lose the weight. Anyone have that problem?

I love this question! What I'm looking forward to is getting those cute little panties w/ the matching bra or tee! Also I just want to go into a store and try on tight leather pants and skirts, short shorts, etc. I would never buy any I don't think but I'd love to just see how I look in them. But I like I said the main thing I really want is to get the cute little matching panties and tee. :)

Okay - I have this long straight-cut demin skirt that I wore when I was in the 9th grade. It is a size 7 and I loved it. For some reason, I have kept it all these years (I am 29 now) - maybe hoping that someday I might be able to fit into it again. Well, hopefully that day will be coming soon (like 6 months from now). I hold it up now and it looks so tiny! Getting my butt back into that skirt would be a dream come true! Other than that, my dream outfit would be a short little red and black plaid skirt with a tight little black sweater and black tights.

i love this question! i want to be able to wear unaltered, nice fitting jeans that fit in the waist but the crotch doesnt hang down to my knees and the legs arent baggy. ditto on the little black dress and a little red one too, about a size 10 would be pretty nice. a swimming suit with high cut legs and my panni doesnt hang out. belted dresses or skirts that look and feel right. any top that looks good shortwaisted and not a tunic down to my ankles to cover everything up. i am getting there, now a size 14-16 down from a 26. patsy in las vegas

My dream outfit is......my own skin, me, naked, in total nudeness. Lovely, perky breasts that point out, not down at the floor. A perfectly flat, smooth stomach.....with no rolls, stretch marks, or "cottage cheese".....firm, toned thighs. Unfortunately, I'll never get to wear that outfit. At least, not without thousands of dollars of plastic surgery. And even then....I'll never have the body I always dreamed of. Do you know what I consider to be the MOST erotic, sensual movie scene? The scene in "Titanic" when Kate unwraps and drops that beautiful robe and stands fully naked before Leo....and then lays down while Leo lovingly draws each one of her curves and valleys. To be completely naked in front of a lover...with the lights on!...and be comfortable. Yes....that is my dream outfit.

I have to things... a purple brocade corset that a friend gave me.. that I'm hoping to wear next month and then this vinyl tank dress.. its not overly revealing or short... but its in a lovely darkish purple eggplant color... and right now.. that's my dream outfit...I suppose as I get smaller and realize I might wear soemthing smaller than a 20 or 22.. I'll have more ideas... I'm only 4 months out and still don't believe I'll be really... I guess .. thin? normal? *grin* Good luck!

I want to wear a super low pair of hipster jeans with a tight cream shirt with a belt that you can see!

October 15, 2002
Dreams DO come true! My dream outfit has always been regular jeans, a T-shirt and a Pendleton fannel shirt! I'm happy to say I am there!!! And happier to say I got my dream outfit at the Goodwill store! Hang on to dreams you'll look great in them!
   — Peggy N.

October 15, 2002
OK, like everyone else, I have a dozen. But you know what I'm really looking forward to? Being able to buy a super-sexy pair of knee-high, zip boots, with NO STRETCH. I'm telling you, I'm going to waltz into the shoe department, pick the sexiest pair (not hoochie-mama boots, but you know what I mean), and zip em right up. Of course, then I'm going to go buy myself a designer outfit to go with my boots....:)

My dream....a dream that I realistically never thought I would have......a size 8 pair of jeans. I've never been that size...thats what the cute little girls wear. Yesterday when my 12's got 'just too baggy', I went to get a pair of 10's....thats my goal. : ) To my shock and excitement, they were too big! I proudly brought home 4 pairs of 8's. I went to get one pair....but hey, they were 8's!!!!!!! If this chick can do it, ANYONE can!!!!

I would just love to be able to go into any store and buy something that would fit me. I also look forward to being able to find a comfortable bra that will hold the "girls" up off my knees!!!

It may sound simple but I had this favorite pair of Levi Jeans from when I was about 18. They are a size 14. They were my goal jeans, I kept trying them on every week. They started out only going to about my knees, I was so happy when they finally fit and I wore them. That was two months ago. Now they fall off me, I am in an 8.

I have a couple too. The first dream outfit is a workout outfit. I want to be able to wear the sexy bra type workout top with some capri type black stretch pants with double white strips down the sides. I have a pair of those pants but they don't look like I envisioned them. Someday they will though! #2 is a classic little black dress. and #3 is some black leather pants with some sort of form fitted shirt or sweater. I can't wait!!

I love some of these answers! My only real dream is to wear a size 10! Anything in a 10! I love jeans, and casual shirts. And long skirts. But all I really want is to put on a pair of size 10 pants!

October 16, 2002
Hi Guys: I am the original poster. What great answers. It looks like leather, jeans, sexy stuff and form-fitting suits are the winners. Some of you can already wear your dream outfits. Eventually all of us will be able to. Thanks for making my day with your responses. Love Grace

Mine is not clothes per se but rather, Black 4in healed boots that hug my calf and go to my knee. The gorgeous kind of boots that i see all over NYC being worn by all the trendy, THIN gals...I already know what peair and they are $500, but, who cares.

It's a toss up between the "little black dress" and spandex sports bra and spandex running pants. already hit my goal of the size 16 business suit that has been in the closet for 10 years (!) so i know the others will be on the way ;)

I would love to wear a long skirt that isn't shorter in the back than it is the front because of my big bum!

I love thirft stores as we all know that small sizes 6-10's are what fills the racks. My dream is not an outfit but to go into Goodwill and find anything that fits!! My bill then will be lots of $$ but it's worth that time!! Good Luck to all!!
   — Adele S.

October 16, 2002
I am with Heather on this one. I'd kill for a pair of pointy, tall, black leather boots. Unfortunately, even though I have dropped from a tight 28 to a 14, I still can't fit them over my genetically large calves... :( SO, I will defintiely settle for a pair of tight jeans, SHORT pointy, sexy boots, and a snug sweater to show of my thin waist!
   — PaulaM

October 16, 2002
Funny thing is about the thrift stores when I was a plus size I couldn't find a thing to fit me, when I was an 18 all I could find were 16's, when I became a 16 all I could find were 14's, now that I am a 14 all I find are 10's and 12's!!!! Dream outfit? A pair of jeans, white t shirt tucked in, a belt (haven't worn one in 2 decades!)pair of black boots and a navy blazer.

OK you have all succesfully got me picturing Jen my wife in black spikey high heeled knee boots. Wearing a long black dress with a slit that I mostly buttoned so she cant quite take a full step, with really long fire engine red fake finger nails, a long wig, lots of makeup, BIG hoop earrings, and wearing a corset! Hey this was fun, thanks I will show her this topic!

I am assuming this is after any and all needed PS...lol I would love to be able to wear a pair of hip huggers with the thongs stickin out.. and ya know those hankerchief type shirts..lol Of course to wear that type a shirt i would have to probably have one heck of a reduction and lift.. but its just a wish/hope!!:)

I have two dream outfits, the first one is for the beach in Hawaii: A yellow thong bikini with the triangle shaped cups for the top and a hawaiian print syronge to go over. Then for the evening a pair of cute black boots that go to your knee with a cute black skirt and one of those slinky tops with spaggetti straps and are open in the back.
   — Monette L.

October 16, 2002
Great question Grace! My choices would be A. " a little black dress". B. a small pair of button fly jeans C. Yup, those knee high, high heeled leather boots that everyone else wants and D. I'd love to get my navel pierced but my hubby thinks I'm too old!

One week before my surgery, I was in a Fashion Show for the retail chain store The Fashion Bug. I wore a size 28/30, and could not button the jacket. My friends and family came to see me, and mentioned how wonderful I looked. Well, they ain't seen nuthin yet! LOL. After the show we were given coupons for participating. I was dying to get something, and I walked over to the "skinny girls" section feeling like an illegal alien. I picket out two dresses on clearance that were just gorgeous. One is a feather print wrap 1940's style, the other a classic red brocade sleevless shift. One a mises large and one a 14/16. I have lost almost 20% of my weight in a month, I have lots more to go. I keep them hanging up in my room as a visual to focus on. Also, I really want to wear half tops like I did at 17 and 18yrs. ANd get a cute belly ring! Will need the Tummy done. I have the thigh high leather boots everyone is talking about. I wore them heavy, and I will wear them at goal!

I want to so badly be able to wear a pair of hiphugger jeans and a tank top and a pair of black biker boots with a tatoo on my back just low enough you see it when I lean over to grab the hands of my motorcycle.LOL

I've already "undergrown" my dream outfits- my lee overalls (8-10) are too baggy now to look good-never could find them in a size 24! And my white Guess jeans-(garage sale, only cost a dollar), with the little red T-shirt have gotten too large as well, What next? I'm too clumsy for high heels, too broke for leather,( I have 4 little wallet leeches), I want a pair of levi button fly jeans, little pair of brown leather boots, and a loose white button down shirt or red turtleneck sweater-my Mom thinks I have a problem because almost everything I have is red. No more black or navy anything! Unless it's my underwear. HA.

I guess my dream outfits would be someting in "red" from Victoria's Secret for my hubby. For myself on a night on the town, I've always wanted the classic little black dress with matching shoes and a basic diamond necklace/bracelet and earrings. For my classic business outfit, I've always wanted one of those chic 3-piece suits with appropriate skirt length to show off good legs and a silk blouse with just a hint of cleavage showing.
   — Cathy S.

October 16, 2002
My dream outfit lately is next summer I want to be able to wear a pair of jeans and a sexy bikini top. Hopefully my stomach will be done and i can wear it and to get another tatoo around my belly button to show off. For Xmas party this year I want to be able to wear a pretty red shimmering dress. I have 13 lbs for my goal of 160 and and 23 lbs for the doctor's goal of 150 so I am almost there.

I tried on a pair of Diesel jeans ($116, folks!) that fit me like they had measured me before they put them together. They have slightly flared legs and stop just short of my bellybutton. No overhang, but low enough to be sexy. I would like to buy those jeans for my birthday. I don't know what type of top I'll buy, but I'm sure I'll find something! After years of HAVING to buy those baggy jeans, I can tell you that if they come back in fashion again I will just have to buck the trend cuz I REFUSE to wear baggy clothes!

I just managed to get into my old jeans that I have been dreaming of wearing again for 7 years now. A little snug but damn it felt good to button them without having to laying on the bed.

My dream is to be dressed up like a princess, this is from child hood as I was always fat and always wanted to be a ballerina, princess or airline stewardess. So when I am dow 140 lbs I am going to dress up in my daughter's princes type wedding gown with layers and layers of tulle, and her tiara, and my magic wand and get my picture taken. I know this is silly as I am 50 years old but I can hardly wait to at least have one of my dreams come true.........Diane H

My dream outfit is any shirt that I can tuck into the pants/skirts! Also, I would like to get into my size 10 wedding dress from 1972!!! When I get there I want to have another wedding (to the same guy of course!)

Ummmm, a slutty pair of thigh high leather boots, sluttier short red plaid skirt, and a low cut tight white t-shirt with no need for a bra :)
