Say Goodbye to Wedding Dress

そういえば来週結婚記念日です。14年。
そんな節目の年に(どこが?)ウェディングドレス処分しました(笑)
いや、着てみたらさ、ファスナー上がらなかったんだわ、中年太りで(泣)後姿は見せられません。
I was separating my clothes for purging, storing, and taking with me to England pile, and came across my wedding dress.

Yup, it's navy blue. Don't expect a white wedding dress from me. Lots of memories. I went to wedding dress shopping on the day of my wedding and experienced my first (and hopefully my last) out-of-gas situation in the middle of a lunch traffic (I wasn't driving so not my fault, I have to add).
At the time, I weighed only 100 pounds (or less) and it was impossible to find a dress that fit me at a mall. So I had to buy a size 6. I bought this navy blue dress intending to get multiple wear out of it since I didn't believe in a value of one-time use only white wedding dress. After my wedding, I had it altered to fit me properly, and wore it 4 other occasions.

Well, last time I wore it was 10 years ago and the dress was still in the dry cleaner's plastic bag from that time.

Since I was in a purging mood, I tried it on to see if I could fit ...And I did not. The zipper stopped right below my bra strap. I guess my rib cage is expanding from visceral fat, which is far worse than subcutaneous fat...

The dress went into a donation pile. Good bye my wedding dress. And good bye to my skinny past. Oh, yeah, next week is our wedding anniversary too.
