Gift for Myself

[JCP 619]

I am 7 weeks out and 40 lbs down. In Nov 2015, we are renewing our vows on a beach in Galveston, a place where I spent much of my childhood and is very special. So I took a chance and on a whim bought a dress that I have no idea will fit. But it is a vintage 1940s dress, and in today's sizing, a large. I could not pass it up.  I have all the faith that I can make it as I have gone from size 22 pants to size 16. It was crazy and impulsive. But I can't contain my excitement so I went for it. Spread your wings and fly, everyone! Love to all of you from Texas!

That dress is STELLAR! WOWZA! So I'm thinking if it doesn't fit, you can always have it altered. I'm betting it will fit though...but how awesome if you had to have it taken in !?!?! Congratulations, girl!

Aww thank you! I just thought it was so sweet and simple and perfect. And I love that it was made so long ago and by hand. Someone put love into it. How touching is that? I just hope I make it.

@@JCP it sounds to me like at the rate you're going you are going to have to have it altered because its going to be TOO BIG

Congratulations on your success thus far, and keep up the good work. You have every right to be proud of yourself. You're doin' the damn thing!
