    So as some of you know, once apon a time I was engaged.  I planned a beautiful wedding that was cancelled a few months prior to the big day.  I was able to get most of my deposit money back from vendors and was able to return unused items.  However, I had this beautiful Maggie Sotterro Dress hanging in my closet.  After multiple attempts to sell it on Ebay and Craig's List, etc. I decided the dress was too beautiful to throw away or give-away.

    So last night my mom and my SIL came over to help me try it on again.  I've been working out for a year now and watching what I eat.  Because when I bought the dress I was 6 years younger and 30lbs lighter!  Guess what! All the hardwork has paid off, it FITS!! :)

    I'm lucky because it is a strapless dress and corset back.  And when I gain weight I mostly gain in the hips, butt and thighs.  The skirt is A-Line.

    All that has to be done to it is have it cleaned and hemmed!

    Wow, that's a pretty dress. I love how the organza gives the skirt a flowy look

    Thanks! It is really light and airy feeling.  Which should work and look great for our vintage 1940s avaition themed wedding.

    Oh my gosh that is so amazing that you are going to be able to wear it!  The dress is beautiful.  I would be jumping for joy - and that is impressive that you were able to get it to fit you years later!  Woo hoo!

    that's amazing dress!  Kudos for the weight loss and being able to still wear it!

    Do you still love it as much as you did when you bought it?  Are there any weird feelings about it (was it from a previous relationship?)

    LatteLove-  I do still love the dress just as much.  Maybe even more now because it fits so good with our 1940s vintage theme.  Who would have thought that!  I also love it because I have a small waist and the dress makes my waist look even smaller!  Gotta Love that!  I did have little weird feelings about the previous relationship and that's what I bought it for... but then when I tried it on last night it was like, Yep this is my dress!  Plus I plan to do a birdcage veil instead of the shoulder length I previously wanted. So that makes a change in the look too!

    Your dress is beautiful and so awesome for you and your pocketbook (or whom ever was going to buy your dress)!!!  Where are you getting married in Houston?  I am orginally from Houston and when I got married (first time marriage) I had my reception at The Houstonian!  Do you have a photographer yet?
