Every Spring it would seem that I am in a wedding or have a wedding to go to. The problem is always-ALWAYS finding a dress to wear!
This year I had planned on wearing my Ralph Lauren long red dress. It is very conservative and well boring. So I ordered this clingy purple dress from Macy's and alas, it did not arrive in time for the wedding. Of course it was last minute and who knew UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays?? This is the dress I ordered. She looks like me and is curvy like me but I never got this dress!!
So I ran out to JC Penney, I knew they would have dresses on sale after Easter. I tried on about 100 dresses. I have a very difficult body to fit. I am tall and very curvy. Hard to find a dress that will not look like a tent, hide my arms which I abhor, and accentuate my small waist.
So after 100 tries and three different sizes (all dresses are sized differently according to the fit model) I found my dress!!! It is a Jones of New York dress with a cinched in waist, halter type neckline, and is just below the knee. I decided to wear hot pink wedge sandals with a 4 inch heel. I also had my matching hot pink Coach purse. My friends also had on super high heels. I love those heels.
Yes it is black but it is OK to wear black to a wedding now. It has embellishment on the halter and yep it's sleeveless. BUT since I do not like my arms, I wore my mini shrug. Every woman should have a mini shrug. I have four. A sweater, a wrap, a mini, and I have them in all colors. I buy them whenever I see them on sale. Last year in Florida I think I bought 3, they were six bucks at Ross!!
Here is my dress, I hope you can see enough of it to get an idea of what it looks like. And yes, I marvel at how small it is. I still can't believe I can wear it! Look at my friends dresses also, great examples of what to wear to a wedding.

- I wanted to teach people how to alter clothing to fit correctly after losing weight. If you are loosing weight buying clothing can get expensive. I just wanted to share a few quick tips to help people maintain a good fit using their current wardrobe. Dr. Dirk Rodriguez helped me lose over 100 pounds. He is on FaceBook and his website is on the left hand side of my page. He offers many solutions if you too, need help losing weight. Check out his Facebook page for great low calorie tastey recipes. When I lost all that weight, I had to figure out a whole new wardrobe and alter the clothes I already had. I couldn't just go buy a new wardrobe. So I started to alter the clothing I have to fit me. Hopefully sharing these tips with you can help you with alterations for a better fit for your figure.
