So a few weeks ago I went wedding dress shopping and I finally found my dress. Now I went to 2 different boutiques and both had the same dress I wanted. one store had the dress in a size 18 which I was able to step into the other store and the dress in a 16, but the only way I could get it on is if I put on over my head.

    I was a 16 but ordered my Maggie Sottero in a 14. I'll admit, come the wedding day, even though I had lost weight and fit the dress, I still had a little upper back fat/skin that I wouldn't have had it if I would have gotten the 16, but the 16 would have been a touch too big. So it worked out. And the corset is actually very forgiving, but I still had a little skin in the back that I hated. I should have worked out my upper back before the wedding!! Smiley smile
