Thanks for your tips. :D

Here I am modeling the skirt. We didn't have time to pose the picture real well--hubby was on his way out the door to work. (Evening hours, which explains my odd times of day to be on this site. :) ) It looks to me like I might have hemmed it lopsided. Before snapping the picture, hubby inspected and said no, but I'll double check that. Hard to tell, without a full-length mirror. Going to have to invest in one, I think. :D

I still see a big fat blimp when I look in the mirror, but then I always have. The fact that I had to take in the skirt so significantly doesn't do much to change how I see myself. For comparison I looked at a couple of shots taken back in November when we went to Hawaii on our first anniversary. It could be... maybe... I do look a little different.

Not fishing for compliments here, just honestly don't trust my own judgment. What do you think?
