  • Congratulations! That's fantastic! I'm soooo happy for you!!!

    I'm in 16Ws hoping to get to 16 Misses and out of plus sizes VERY soon.
  • Wow Tammy I am sitting here at work sniffling. You do know how awesome you are don't you????

    What's weird is, my misses 18s (Vanderbilts) are jailin but I can wear a Lane Bryant 14 in a stretch material (albeit they are a bit snug). There's such a big difference between plus and non-plus. But given my nearly 10" waist-to-hip ratio the plus sizes just look better on me. It's going to be both a wonderful and somewhat sad day when I can't fit into the LB 14s anymore, because misses just don't fit as well.
  • That is the best feeling! I'm happy for you, and so jealous!

    Now we need a picture of you in your new jeans, you hot mama!
    We want to celebrate with you.
  • That is freaking awesome!
    What a wonderful feeling that must be strutting around in your new regular size clothes! Woot woot!
  • congrats! That is awesome. I didn't fit into a size 18 PLUS until I was down to 190 and I am 2 inches taller than you. how strange. you're lucky, it'll take me FOR EV AR to get down there for some reason.
  • I teared up too!

    I'm so happy for you. (And unlike clothing posts from our UK and US sisters, I actually know exactly what you're talking about!)

    Hmm... must be a body shape thing. I find around here (3fc that is) most people my weight and height are fitting into roughly the same size. Whatever it is it ROCKS and I'm happy!!!!

    lol!!!! THANK YOU. There must be a different sizing standard from the two countries or something. I'm happy either way!
  • Amazing work! That is such a fabulous NSV, I would have probably let out a shriek of delight from the dressing room, 'cause I'm subtle like that
  • What an NSV! congrats!!!

    I think it's my hips. they are wide even when they aren't 'fat'.

    But either way congrats!
  • Congratulations! I can't wait to fit into all the size 18 and 16 jeans I have collecting dust in my closet!!
  • Hooray! Best feeling ever, I know. I did the biggest victory dance the day I realized I never had to purchase a thing from Lane Bryant ever again. It looked a little like this:
