I have hankered after this dress for ages but it was a bit pricey, I wasn't sure I would have many occasions to wear it and there was a niggling doubt that it would fit me as I'm not a stick insect.
Anyway. It appeared in the sales, I have an event in November for which it would be perfect and I gave in and ordered the largest size.
Needless to say, it doesn't fit. I'd estimate I'd need to lose about 1.5 stones for it to fit me. Normally, I would never ever keep clothes that don't fit as that way self-hatred, madness and an overdraft lie, but:
a) the dress is really really beautiful, unusual, and I doubt I'd find one like it again.
b) I have been losing weight, though have stalled in the last four months for reasons.
c) If I can't lose enough weight by the event time, I will need to buy another dress anyway which is not a huge issue but irksome nonetheless.
So, should I keep the dress and use it as an incentive or send it back?
