Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Thanks for the Siri link, Tom. That's just Malkovich being Malkovich.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.
