'Trash'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
In my ongoing quest to purge accumulated stuff I'm going through a box of playbills, thank you cards, and such. Why have I kept a note from a roommate (circa 1993?) that simply says, "I was chased by a bat this morning. Really!" Whuh?
I also found a newspaper clipping with a photo of me in the spray of a firehose after a mud vollyball game, a show photo from 1992 which includes Jon Hamm, and... my Buffista cards!

Batman issues?
Wait, for what? The giant goodstuff queue dump I did?
Yes! I'm going to spread them out a bit, because I am lazy, and it's easier to find cute kittens than good news.
Kat/Erin/meara: I half-assed-ly measured the dress and came up with B38 and W32.5, so if any of you think it would work on you, feel free to make me an offer! I would like to say that generally it's a smallish 12, but that's mostly because I couldn't quite zip it up. On me, the fullness of the skirt with my natural fullness in the hip makes it look Little Bo Peep shaped, but if you aren't so big down below, I bet it would be nice.
