I've had this dress for three years.   I rarely get to wear it because when I bought it I had just finished the Austin Half Marathon and was a little lighter back then.  It didn't take long for me to put on some weight and it became impossible for me to get this dress over my head.  Once a year some life event will happen that will result in me losing a few (or 10) pounds.   Last year it was due to me and J going through a rough patch.  This year it was selling the house, building a house, starting some new meds to manage my migraines and being sick last week.  It's a miracle I've only lost 10 pounds!  So I figured I better dust off this dress while I still could before I inevitably put the weight back on or worse, lose even more weight and the thing looks like a sack on me.
