Crappity.
I am trying to nudge myself off this plateau I'm on, but nevertheless felt pretty good about my weight going into the fitting at David's Bridal (and Lord, ain't that place a racket!), up until I actually put the dress on. I wasn't even phased, at first, by the presence of the two skinniest bridesmaids, because they're hot in their little skinny own way, and the Fathlete is hot in her own big-butted, muscle-woman, back-fatted way. Each to their own hotness, I say.
The problem was the size of the dress, which I knew would be bigger than my usual. And the bride, who now weighs about 12 pounds (and is gorgeous) warned me that she'd fit into the size I was about to try on, and Sister is much smaller than me. So when the smaller size, which is one up from what I usually wear, was too tight in the breasticles, I didn't mind. The next one up, a size I have not been since the late 90s, didn't fit either.
Uh-oh.
This meant that my dress, even though it's gonna be taken in, is in a size that I have never worn, even though I am not half the fat-ass I was in the late 90s. I know that it's my boobs, not everything else, and that I'm not really that size.
Bu I don't want to be at all. So I'm not gonna be. I promise you - and me - that when I get fitted for that dress in July, it will be a size smaller. At least. I know this is gonna hurt. But it's gotta happen.

i hate that ... darn boobs. for all the implanting going on in this world today, you'd think that dressmakers would give us natural girls a little more, er, slack! =) can't wait to see the dress!
I just adore you, and this blog. I, too, will be a bridesmaid this year, on Labor Day, and the thought of this current iteration of my body be walking down the aisle in a sleeveless, and lowcut dress is beyond frightening. You and I can both absolutely fit into beautiful bridesmaids dresses in the bodies we are supposed to have, even if it's not the body we think we are supposed to have.
Also, I wonder if there are specialty bras that will make it easier for the twins to fit into the dress. Just a thought...
The thing about bridesmaid dresses is that they always, always, always run about three sizes up. Remember dear girl, you are not the number but all the goodness inside the hotness!
