    Ah yes, what I call "the boob lane" in some garments. Reminds me of the lanes they'd set up in the pool at swim lessons when I was a kid: nobody ever stayed in their designated lane, and eventually the lanes floated off and morphed into their own shapes anyway. No boob lane can contain us. 😂

I get wanting things to look a certain way, but damn. Also, it's a last minute wedding with only a month to find/make something 🙃

      @@aksez2u Yah, I try to live sustainably, so it's the expectation of buying a new outfit that seems very out of touch to me 🤔 I don't *need* 2 event outfits. Plus, as plus size, having to find something that I feel completely comfortable in mentally and physically is huge and I just love already having something in my closet that I know I feel my best in every time. Especially because the colors are not colors that I would ever choose to wear, so I don't want to invest a lot in a quality piece, but don't want to buy fast fashion either. It's so hard when you live on the sustainable side of the internet to be reality checked by "normal" consumerism/expectations.

    The dress is perfection! So Kathleen! Excited for Dayton thrift ( I live in Cincinnati and ready to branch out).
    Also excited for next thrift flip where you will expand my mind 😱

    Love that dress & shoes, to me it is giving Bladerunner vibes in the best possible way. *1982 version!
