  • It Fits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hey all you friends out there in atkins-land!!! well......the dress arrived today. man i felt like i was gonna puke before i tried it on. (sorry julie!) my son brought it in my office and i just sat there holding the box on my lap. would all this hard work pay off?

    first of all, let me tell you that it is a VERY straight up and down cut. it looks like a strapless dress with sheer straps. the "underdress is VERY fitted. it has very fitted layers all the way down with beading at the bottom of each layer. it is a cross between deep butter and champagne. it looks like a very tall wedding cake!

    so...i went in the bedroom and LOCKED THE DOOR. i hooked and zipped myself into the famous longline bra thingy.....i took the dress from the box. it is heavier than i remembered. i unzipped it.....slowly in stepped into it....and very cautiously i pulled it up and over my shoulders....holding my breath i zipped it up the back.

    THE TOP IS TOO BIG!!!!! but from the fitted part all the way down it fits like a DREAM!!!! getting the top part tailored will be really easy (yea, i lost a lot of THAT too!) gonna find myself a little gold pair of slingback pumps and some crystally earrings and i am good to go.

    meanwhile, the family is waiting by the bedroom door, ears to the door, waiting with baited breath...will it? won't it? will mom have a hissy fit or will all be right with the world? the best news is that the search is OVER...this girl HATES to shop.

    NOW i just need to hide it from ernie til the big day. yee-ha! finding the perfect dress that FITS is reason #48978476936 that anyone who wants to find their old bod NEEDS TO DO ATKINS!!!! thanks doc!

                here it is! i hope it shows up. i am not the best at technology. it is hard to really tell the exact color. it is a cross between yellow, gold and champagne. the beading on it changes the color. it is actually very fitted thru the midsection, flows over the hips and then goes straight to the floor. i feel like cinderella. i will surely post an actual wedding photo.

                thanks to all of you for your responses! you guys are so much fun and your enthusiasm really adds to the excitement. so here goes. if it does not work then i will ask one of the pros for help tomorrow.
