Talking Potential ebay disaster
Last week I ordered a gorgeous suede skirt from Ebay, a size 18 (US14)from English Brand Monsoon (who I find a bit tighter than a normal 18) anyway, it arrived today. I took it out and held it up in dismay. It looked tiny. It's a size 16 (US 12).

Well I'm losing aren't I, no matter if it doesn't fit, right???

So I stand in front of the mirror, easit past my hips, and it does up....and looks perfect!!!!

I'm so happy!!!! I never ever thought I'd get into size 16 clothes!!!!!
