I had not even remembered Erin's fall until now, but I'm very glad I didn't break a hand (or an arm). Though I suppose since I fell on my suitcase, it broke my fall?

Oof. I have uploaded 291 photos and sent links to siblings.

I've done quite a lot of computering this three-day weekend, what with the scanning and the uploading. Brain is fried.

Ohhh! Jesse, if you are selling the dress, I might be interested.

I'm down to a 4-6-8 depending on the skirt or pant (some of my skirts from anthropologie are at 4 which is NUTS) but I still wear 10 and 12, even though I can take them off without unbuttoning. Mainly because I'm cheap and I own those pants already.

But tops? I'm an XXL because of my boobs. Stupid ribs and bust changing from kids. I am still agog at my bra size and wish it were smaller.

I still haven't found the right size for fitted pants. Waist-6, Ass-10. So skirts are fine, in a 6, but most any pants that think they're hugging the hip as just stupid as hell. Another reason I'm still wearing the Kat-bought-jeans.

Okay, this fanartist can make *anything* cute (and god forbid if it started cute, because sugar shock. Cutified the Avengers, most of them. Her talent leaves me aghast, although I'd totally use it for sex.

I didn't buy the jeans. I just facilitated the buying. Lucky Jeans work for you, ita. I'd think they'd work again.

There needs to be an eshakti for pants more than dresses. The fit on pants is way more troubling for me than dresses and skirts. My waist is solidly 8, occasionally 6, but my upper thighs would prefer the bagginess of a 10.

FTR, I also can't figure out how to make blouses accommodate my boobs. I'm resorting to lots of tshirts.

Pants fit is ridiculous.

I think we all need to be back in the times of custom-made clothes. Or at least, I need my grandmother back. My clothes looked awesome when I was 7 and she was making them. I totally need to find that photo of me in my 70's vest and matching (salmon-colored) pants. With my hands in my pockets all cocksure.

When I wore buttondowns for work, I pretty much always wore it half-buttoned with a cami underneath.

Word! My ass/hips are probably a 6 or 8, but my waist is a 10/12. This is why lowrise pants are awesome. I spent decades either being cut in half or having baggyass.

Just get the shirt that big, and get darts put in? I've found the cotton knit still forgiving enough for me--and I don't mind if they're too big around the waist, since they're easy to belt--not bulky.

I have two dresses that fit me in the bust still, and are short and empire-waisted, so I can still wear them. My other dresses look ridonkulous.

My wedding dress, which is a hot pink cocktail gown, I will have re-tailored one day, but I will live this summer in sarongs and tanks.

Sarongs always fit. I would LOVE a formal sari in turquoise and silver.

Luckily, Old Navy's Flirt cut works well on my body. My friend F is a 14 in the booty and a 10 in the waist, 8 on top. She has a problem finding pants & skirts.
