When did this happen?

So, uh.  Some people might know that my baaaaaaaaaaaaby cousin is getting married in October.  (Okay, so she's not really a baaaaaby. She's six years younger than I am.  BUT SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABY COUSIN, so there.)

Anyway, I'm in the bridal party!  And the bridal party were given a number of dress styles to pick from, in a specific color ("Harvest Gold").  I chose a really pretty strapless A-line dress.  I had my measurements taken at a dress shop down here, and sent those measurements to my cousin, who ordered the dress from her shop.  

The dress arrived today!  Huzzah!  It's pretty!  Double huzzah!

It. Fell off.

It.  The dress.  It.  It's.  It's too big.  Like, "I must have lost two inches in three months" too big.  

WTF.

Well, the last time I was a bridesmaid, I was... thirteen? Fourteen? So my experience with bridal shops is pretty limited.

Either way, I'm going to choose to believe I dropped some much needed weight. Because walking 2-3 miles with the dogs about four days a week and NOT seeing results? Would be damned depressing.

Also entirely likely. I've been practicing my pessimism and coaching my friend in looking on the dark side so I'm probably not the best judge.
