If you read my March Closet edits post you know this dress was edited (although still in search of a home !).
This beauty was purchased in Washington DC in a Filene's Basement that I am pretty sure is closed now. I loved it, it fit and it was probably under 50.00 USD so that was it.
This black dress made me feel like a queen when I wore it, oh the power of a garment! Now it does not zip. You probably read that several times in previous posts. Nothing seems to fit these days and I am already taking some steps to remedy that - in fact the "it does not fit reason" is usually the last I consider when getting rid of an item.
So I chose to wear this dress just one last time and pretend I was in an outdoor ballroom.

Making sure I stay fitting in my clothes is one of my major motivators to keep my weight off! I have too many beautiful things that I want to keep wearing!
This is a gorgeous dress, but it's not worth keeping a seldom-worn gown around if it isn't ringing your bell anymore. You do look just lovely here, my dear.
Stunning dress! You look amazing in it. A friend of mine had a ball dress that would no longer zip - she got a seamstress to make the back a 'corset' with metal eyes and a ribbon lacing, to remedy that. Looked great. But sometimes it's just time to let a dress continue on its journey without us. x
What a pretty dress!! I hope it finds a good home and someone else will love it as much as you did!
I love that you wore it one last time because it is definitely a stunner!

It's so pretty!!!! Always sad to see pieces like this go!
(and yea, pretty sure Filene's Basement went out of business, we used to have some around here, but not anymore)

That's such a pretty dress, it's nice you could give it a final wear in such a beautiful location :) Hopefully it finds a new home soon.
I got rid of a lot of clothes when I no longer fit into them post-baby the first time around. I regret letting some of them go now, but at the time it felt good getting rid of the things that were making me feel bad, haha! Weight fluctuates so I tend to hang onto things to see if they fit later, if I love them.

Love your dress! The pictures are amazing!
That is a gorgeous dress, and I love your beautiful "outdoor ballroom" setting! I hope you have sweet memories of wearing the dress, and when you pass it on, it makes wonderful new memories of a special occasion for someone else!
You look beautiful, I love your dress

Gorgeous dress! Sometimes I like to wear items one last time before getting rid of them too!
I have to admit in the context for my weight for me it is the same as for Sheila :) Your dress is so wonderful and I'm still sure you'll find a new owner for it.
