About 20 or 25 years ago, I bought a sweater dress at Nordstroms for a Christmas party, and more foundation garments than I had ever owned before This was a seriously sexy bombshell--tits and ass--dress.

I wore it to my husband's office Christmas party and to a couple of other things. It always made me feel so gorgeous.

Then I got pregnant and gained 50 pounds and never lost them again. I wrapped the dress in tissue paper and put some cedar blocks in there and saved it.

Fast forward to now. Yesterday, seven pounds heavier than my 25 years ago pre-pregnancy weight, I thought, "Wow--I bet I almost fit into that dress again. Maybe I could wear it again this winter."

I got it out.

I put it on.

It's too big. I mean, it's baggy. The sleeves are baggy. The bust is baggy.

I could cry.

So would anybody like a size L (US12-14) lambswool/angora sweater dress, black with a wild swirly pattern knit into it? Here it is (cat not included): http://brokenclay.org/images/ylf/sweaterdress.jpg
