SPRING CLEAN DAY 2/PACKING AWAY THE WINTER WARDROBE

As I live in a small house, I haven’t got room for clutter.

Even once I’ve done a spring clean de clutter I’m still having to overstuff drawers.

After unpacking all my summer clothes I realised the only way to store them is to pack away the winter outfits.

I’ve recently been sent an order from Winter.

As it doesn’t fit I realise it will need altering, also one was from Countess Dracula October, one was from Fancy dress November and another was a liqueur dress from December.

This is going to be really hard to alter.

Have ordered a sewing machine.

This is for Countess Dracula October.

This needs a lot of work and is for fancy dress November.

This is obviously for party season.

Have packed it away and will need to do something with it.

Victorias Secret Bra

Shopped in there once when I had to gain weight.

I was still really small compared to some of the gigantic bras in there.

I got up to 32 DDD.

Found the bra the other day and it looked massive.

In the UK it is the equivelent of 36b.

I helped the shop assistant work that out from some uk products they had in there that were confusing her.

This means my back was 32 and my bust measurement was 36.

So now I would be 28 something.

They don’t do back size 28 though?, even though their angels were much skinnier than me.

30 B	30 B	XXS

30 E	30 DDD	—
32 AA	32 AA	XXS
32 A	32 A	XS
32 B	32 B	XS
32 C	32 C	S
32 D	32 D	S
32 DD	32 DD	S-DD
32 E	32 DDD	—

Actually 32 DDD is 36b

This could have something to do with the clerical error with bras at the moment.

Or it might not have, who knows?

34 B

Interestingly 34 b is the same here?

I could try for a Victoria Secret bra again, but tried to order loads already and not got anywhere.

Just sent for a stack of underwear from Victorias secret.

They are great quality, hopefully I’ll get my order this time then I will review for you.

Really desperate for some underwear that fits.

Could do with white poplin dresses also.

Just tried to order some white poplin dresses and other fabrics.

Slimming down into old clothes project

Found a top I looked dreadful in. but that must of been when I put weight on.

Looking back this makes sense as it looked nice today.

I’m not saying I think I’m beautiful or anything; just mean I bought it to fit before I put weight on, so it looked too tight and awful after getting up to 32 DDD lol!!!

Was at my worst here, not sure how I squashed into it, this isn’t even the style it is supposed to be lol!!!

Was going to throw this away, glad I kept it if even to realise how much weight I have lost.

Also found the shrug and a nylon sort of cardigan.

They might go with the T shirt dress.

Tried on a floral nylon jacket with flared sleeves that I haven’t worn yet, get why I purchased it now it fits again.

Was really hard work lifting storage boxes and so forth, but my wardrobe is summer ready now.

Also found the slub t shirts from last year and some shorts for Janes July, if you are doing that again I recommend you get your summer sportswear ready, especially if there is another heatwave.
