Agree that sizes are not dependable any more.

I'm buying tight tops. I feel so vulnerable wearing them.


Good on you for pitching the old drawers! I'm pretty confident that nobody wanted my formerly-fat panties. OTOH, I have lost sizes so fast this summer that I had never-worn or almost so bras, nice ones, and those I donated. I've seen worse in the thrift store.

I bravely wore tight clothes to the grocery store a few days ago. However, I saw myself in the store window and had to laugh--bag lady climate here, so I had on a long coat, scarf, knit hat, and wristlets. I was very brave!

I worry that one day this will just "stop working"-

Thank you! If I have to be nuts, it's nice to know I'll be in good company!

Enjoy! Tips I've learned for care: machine (or hand) wash cold, with like colors, hang dry. Once bone dry, toss in the dryer for ten minutes and they come out looking freshly ironed. There's a handkerchief-hemmed skirt they make that I really like. Lost it in my closet until I'd lost so much weight it no longer fit--such a disappointment. Whoop! out she goes!
