A Little Snug

The last few times I've been home in Idaho I've wanted to try my wedding dress on just to see if it still fits. A lot can change in 4 years and after having a baby. So I pulled it out of my old closet, pulled the poofiness out of the bag and slid it on. The sliding it on part was easy, it was the zipping up part that was a little snug. I called Maddie to come help. She gave me a crazy look and then decided to help. It's odd to me that the snuggest part was around my chest! What? I know I haven't "grown" anymore in that area, especially AFTER having a baby! I guess I just added a little more cushion around my ribs! Anywho, I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Then, I started getting even more curious! I started pulling out high school prom dresses. Here's my reaction when it actually fit me. And sorry about the lovely hoop earrings in all the photos!

Let's see, this dress was worn to Commencement (Prom) 2001 with Jared Collette. It was a nice dress, hair was pulled up in a elegant up do, makeup-fine.

This dress was by far the snuggest, then and now. This dress was worn to Senior Ball 2002 (I think) with Tyler Ware. Hair was down and "waved," I liked this one.

This dress was worn to Homecoming 2000 with Jared Collette. Hair was up with some nasty side swept bangs, braces, and not good makeup. By far one of the worst thanks to hair and makeup oh, and the braces! It was also one of my first real formals so there's my excuse. And this dress was the loosest on me and the oldest. I wore this thing almost 8 years ago. Good thing I ended with this one. Self esteem booster. There were many more dresses from good ole' HS, some of them I borrowed. The one I really wanted to try on was being borrowed by a friend (still). I'm not even going to attempt to try on on some jeans from HS because #1- I don't have them anymore and #2- my thighs and butt would never fit!
