Much harder the second time around...

Can't wait to see the photos, Judy. You must be very excited. I'm in the midst of planning my son's Bar Mitzvah. It might as well be his wedding with all of the details to work out. It's in May and I can't wait. He's a bit anxious with all he has to learn for the ceremony (so am I) and the party should be a lot of fun. I'm going to wait till early spring before I look for a dress.

Many Bar Mitvah's are as big as a wedding. You still have lots of time to find a dress and lose a few more pounds before you have to look. They always have more to choose from in smaller sizes.

The hardest thing for me was so many had no sleeves and my arms are definitely baggy from the weight loss. The store I went to was able to order more fabric and their seamstress added sleeves for me. It came out perfect.

The arms are definitely a problem... I probably won't be able to wear anything strappy even if I lose more weight. I might surprise myself but I don't like my chances.

I'll have to look for a dress with sleeves too. It might be warm in May but maybe sheer sleeves will do the trick.
