Thanks Diana. I feel good about my onderland goal by the ball. I'm like you, I think I will make it or be really close. I picked up my ball gown yesterday and it's too big. I knew I would need to have it taken in some, but my heart sank when I tried it on. It's a lot too big and it's only gonna get bigger as I get smaller. I tried the smaller size on again and it's still small enough that I'm afraid to exchange my too big dress for the smaller dress (although it only took one person to zip it up this time ). I have my fingers crossed that they don't sell the smaller dress so I can go back in a couple of weeks and try it again. I should have taken another picture of me in the smaller dress and compared to the one taken two weeks ago. Here's a picture of me in the bigger dress - it gaps about 2 inches away from my body on each side (I have it tucked under my arms). It wouldn't even stay up without holding onto it.

If you're going to have it altered, buy the smaller dress. When I got married, the seamstress told me that if I was between two dress sizes, to buy the smaller one, because it's easier to alter up than down. Well, maybe you should check with the store and/or the person doing the alterations - but wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses have enough extra fabric to let them out, so I would assume a lot fo formal dresses do. She told me the fit would be better if she had to let it out rather than take it in.

Both the sales person and the store manager talked me into the bigger dress. They said it would be easier to alter down and if I didn't lose weight in the right places then the smaller dress would never fit. The ball is 7 weeks away and the larger dress is already too big, but I worry the smaller dress will always be too small (does that make sense?). Here is a picture of me in the smaller dress taken 2 weeks ago (please ignore the awful tan line). You can see around the top and by my arms how tight it is (pushing up the fat) and it's tight through the stomach. My sister is gonna be in town this weekend - I think I'll have her go with me and see me in the smaller dress in person for a second opinion.
