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.
Thanks for the Siri link, Tom. That's just Malkovich being Malkovich.
Wow, tommy, that's a neat photo. I think the SO has photos of that level of generation, but I don't.
Jesse, what was wrong with the dress? It might fit me...or might not...but if it DID fit, I think it would look good on me.
In crazy family news, my cousin, who is four years younger than me (37) is now a grandmother. She was a mom at 16. Five kids. *shudder*
Wow. Eesh.
I think we all need to be back in the times of custom-made clothes.
I keep saying I learned to alter clothes out of self-defense, because there is no way anything off the rack fits my bust-to-waist ratio. Add in my petticoats, and it's just ridiculous.
Jilli! Speaking of your waist..your corset got sent back to me, insufficient postage, despite my having weighed it. I will re-send it as soon as I get my paycheck from editing, ok?
That dress is lovely.
I think of myself as a size 8 now, although given how random size are, the clothes in my closet range from 6 to 12. And I'm realizing there are dresses and skirts I should get rid of, they just don't fit and just don't see myself losing the weight necessary to fit in them again.

22/25! And one of the ones I got wrong was me misreading the question. And the other two were from alternate timelines.
Did you read Holli's Steve versus the Hipsters fic?
I did! It was fun! I should tell her so.
I'm rather lucky with clothes, I guess, although even for me it's hard to know what sizes to order because of size creep. So at Lands End I order 6s or smaller, which is ridiculous. Even though I'm really not that tiny, it's just that LE is so generously-cut.
Yeah, any time I can buy something in a 6 I assume their sizing is wonky rather than assuming I've gotten smaller.
