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. Carol, down 52 lbs. 8 weeks post op

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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 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'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.

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!

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
