to have gloated about this dress

Im selling all my old clothes that will never fit me again on ebay.

SIL came round and saw all the stuff hanging, ready to be bagged. Her younger sis is probably the same size as me pregnant, obviously without bump, but taking into account the weight Ive put on everywhere else.

She insisted I didnt sell a particular dress until younger SIL had seen it and tried it on. Now a) I knew for sure that this will dress not fit her. I bought it as a size 14 and it was tight then! and b) I want to sell the stuff for our baby fund. I dont mind giving her a few things but this particular dress was the main selling point. Bought from Warehouse for £50!

We discussed whether it would fit younger SIL and because I knew it wouldnt, I agreed to let her come and try it. However older SIL kept saying that Im the same size as younger SIL so it WOULD fit. (I was definately slimmer before pregnancy! Angry)

When younger SIL came to try it on, the zip would not even move. My inside voice snorted with glee. Blush

Have pregnancy hormones done this to me, or am I just a bitch?

No just Human, would she have wanted the dress gratis or would she have paid for it.

Bitch Grin

Knittynoodle · 24/11/2010 23:08

She'd just have had it! Or expected to have it!

Feel a bit sorry for younger SIL as it wasn't really her fault. Think older SIL sounds a bit of a bitch though. Maybe you could give her a maternity outfit to wear and say you thought it would fit her really well...now that would be bitchy!

Cuddly, you cow :o

Knittynoodle · 24/11/2010 23:13

In my pregnany paranoia Im thinking, have these two discussed before what sizes we both are?

Ie younger SIL "Im not as big as knittynoodle am I?", older SIL "Noooo! Shes much bigger!" sort of thing?

I think that thought added to my inner snorting.

knittynoodle, your heading for a flaming :o

CuddlyNotFat · 24/11/2010 23:18

Just smile serenely and tell yourself that at least your weight gain is only temporary!

Knittynoodle · 24/11/2010 23:19

I might even keep the dress to see if I could ever get back in it!

OP posts:
newwave · 24/11/2010 23:21

knittynoodle, why wouldnt you get back into it?

Knittynoodle · 24/11/2010 23:24

I wouldnt wear it, even if I could get back into it. I just have a feeling Im going to end up with a (stolen from another thread) 'saggy bollock tummy' which would not be becoming in this outfit!

knittynoodle saggy bollock tummy is not inevitable

Knittynoodle · 24/11/2010 23:27

I can only hope. Im not exactly the toned type at best!

All the info you require is available on the internet and it doesent require expensive equipment. Half an hour a night is all you need although for the next two years you will need all the rest you can get :)

Not wrong to be pleased that you are not as large as someone thinks you are.

Feel sorry for younger SIL though as she is the person being called up for fatness and it's older SIL who is being blind.

CuddlyNotFat · 24/11/2010 23:35

I think gang up with younger SIL against older SIL...FIGHT FIGHT...

Knittynoodle · 24/11/2010 23:36

I did think that, and I really like younger SIL. Im sure you can see I dont feel the same about older SIL!

However, in spite of that, I still couldnt stop myself!

You and younger SIL could SIT on older SIL.

Knittynoodle · 24/11/2010 23:42

She'd take us. Shes not exactly Kate Moss and looks like she'd fight dirty.
