I'm not there yet and I'm not going to buy one until I'm happy with my size but (internet) window shopping for dresses sure is some good motivation.
Oook, I want them all. I imagine that when I lose weight I'm gonna be some hot bombshell who wears fancy dresses all the time and goes out to dinner. Not the girl who lives in a field (essentially) and wears wellies a lot of the time. Ahhh sweet sweet fantasy you keep me going.
I can't be the only one who looks at clothes they'd like to wear. Anybody want to share?
So we are the same size and I think you would look hot in these dresses already!! I prefer the red one and the blue one. I just bought a shirt that is like the blue one, but in shirt form....I think it is essential you embrace where you have came from and treat yourself with shopping. I shop continually as a reward!! =) I vote you buy one already and post your pic in it. I bet you would look smashing!!
I actually managed to buy the dress below in 2 sizes. I bought the size I can fit into now first (Australian size 10) and loved it so much I bought it a size smaller (Australian size 8) to wear when I reach goal. I can almost get into it but it's a bit tight/narrow around the chest.
lovemydoggiesx2 - Thanks, that's really sweet. ooh post a pic of your top! I love that shape although I don't really have the em assets I am capable of wearing a good bra. I am lucky that my waist nips in though. I believe in getting nice things too, otherwise it'd feel like too much pressure and I want to accept myself as I am. I just usually buy stuff second hand, and I get really great stuff. I'm gonna go dress shopping tomorrow for something for my birthday. I just don't want to buy something expensive online because I feel like I'd be disappointed/use it as an excuse to stop losing weight haha
If I find something nice tomorrow I'll post a picture though.
Kayriel Nice dress, I love waist belts like that.. I have a million. Good idea getting it in both sizes! It must be a great feeling being so close to fitting into it well done. I've zipped myself into a too small dress when I was gaining and thinking 'yeah it totally still fits'. Nevermind the fact that I wasn't able to breathe normally, like y'know that matters
stimkovs: It's from pinupgirlclothing.com - they have it in a few different colours. It's called the Ava dress! Don't forget to post pics if you get it.
That red dress will stop traffic! Go for it!
I also like the one next to it for an all occasion type dressy dress.
The blue one would be great for weddings and formal parties.

That's totally what I do, actually! >.> Except that I live in a small city with dirt roads and have to wear trainers to work because of my back + trouble to get shoes in my size in this tiny country.
Pinupgirlclothing is fantastic <3 I love all their dresses and I want them all! (I think I actually got to know them because you posted the link). I love pin up style and I would love being able to dress like one of those pretty girls, especially because I know it would suit my body type (I am something of a mix between hourglass and pear, though leanning more to the hourglass side). The Ava dress only needs one word to describe it: rawr!

I love waist belts too. I have a slight waist and no hips and need something to indicate I have a waist!
Btw, if you're planning to get one of those dresses, get the blue one. It'll be lovely since you have a nipped in waist and looks like it'll give you an amazing hourglass shaped figure.
EatMoreCelery Y'know I really like the way you think
Teacher2B It's funny to have these little fantasies eh! Lucky you with your hourglass figure! I'm totally a pear but as I said a good bra goes a long way and because I'm lucky with my waist I always feel comfortable in those kinds of dresses. I love the first dress you posted especially! I was actually looking at that earlier in my search for a dress but I didn't see it in my size. I'd say go for it, the shape is amazing.
Kayriel I have too much hips if you want some? Thanks, I really love the colour too. I guess I'll see how my body looks in a while!
Your choices are beautiful! I plan on getting that blue dress as soon as I have an event to wear it to!
Perhaps it is a confidence issue, but much of the clothing on pin up girl does not seem to work for me although I do love it. I am an hourglass shape, but more short wasted so belted items and high wasted shirts are not the best. I am still trying to figure it all out. I do know that I love the 40s-50s styles and most local clothing stores do not appeal to me at all. I am not sure I want to pay shipping just to try stuff on.
that dress is hot, stillmeadow! It's always great to have a nice black number.
Natasha22 I love the last one especially, those straps are really nice!
I found a new ASOS dress in a second hand shop yesterday, I'll post a pic if I wear it on my birthday. It was in the last shop I went to as well so just when I was feeling disheartened
I revisited this thread, looking at all the pretty dresses , and I realized that I have no sense of style at all anymore. It has been sooooo long since I was at a weight I'm comfortable with that I've lost all sense of what I like and what types of clothing fit my personality.
For years I've been wearing just whatever I can find that covers my belly and butt. I haven't even worn a shirt with shorter than a 3/4 sleeve even in the middle of hot summers.
I suppose I have a long time to figure this out, looking at my tracker, but I'm just realizing that I'm puzzled over this.

well done. I've zipped myself into a too small dress when I was gaining and thinking 'yeah it totally still fits'. Nevermind the fact that I wasn't able to breathe normally, like y'know that matters
