What????

Editorial Note:  Added many hours later.  I was trolling the blogs for a new diet--The Fat Smash which allows oatmeal, rice and even shredded wheat.  I was all set to go off course and then decided to try on an old vintage dress from the mid 80's when I thought I "looked great".  It fit.  Gobsmacked ME!  It even fit better than in the 80's which is saying something since I am much "fuller" at the bustline than I was then. I was a afraid of zipping up (to some point far from the top) and being stuck in the dress the remainder of the afternoon.   Not so.

I did try on another German dress and it is 5 inches shy of buttoning at the waist.  I think it might have fit for 15 minutes in 1986.

I am wearing a delightful fleece jacket (XL) which now fits perfectly as a swingy little jacket, as it was meant to be worn.  I lost the fleece flower to pin the top closed but have decided to add a button and button hole.   Now, I am warm and ready to walk the dog.  See you!!!!
