An Amazing Non-Scale Victory.

My British Literature of 1780-1900 class was cancelled on Wednesday so I stayed in the apartment all day. In between working on my paper for my Film & Culture class and watching A Clockwork Orange, I decided to try something on that I haven't worn since May of 2008. My senior prom dress... When I wore my prom dress for the first time for prom, it was very tight fitting around my stomach and hips. It was flattering but at the same time it wasn't. It is a spaghetti strap dress and anyone who knows me in real life knows that I don't wear spaghetti straps.

So when I tried it on. I laughed. The dress no longer fits at all. It isn't tight around my stomach or hips and pretty much hangs off my shoulders. I literally did nothing but laugh for about 10 minutes while wearing my dress. But it inspired my to try on my junior prom dress as well. The dress, once again, didn't fit at all. It wasn't tight and the halter top looked strange. So, I decided to be a bit adventurous and try on my freshman homecoming dance dress (which I wore October of 2004). While I can actually fit into it now, it's still very tight and short. But the fact that I can actually put it on is amazing. The dress doesn't stretch at all and there are no zippers. The way it is made is the way it will be worn.

The fact that both my prom dresses are too big now and I can almost fit into my freshman homecoming dress is the best thing ever so far. I'm hoping that by the end of August or mid-September, I can fit into my homecoming dress correctly.
