Thank you for all of your kind comments! Some days are so overwhelming but I know this isn’t forever. Off to pick up my mom for a few weeks until her next Dr. Appointment. She’s a couple hours away and my dad is an hour in the opposite direction. Lots of windshield time for doctor appointments, yard work/chores at both homes not counting my own and work, ugh. I thought my mom would out live me but she has taken a turn for the worse and the doctors can’t figure out what is wrong with her. Neither can drive anymore and both have a hard time getting around - still somewhat ambulatory with walkers. So that’s what I’ve been doing and why I had to have a good shop! Oreo is my little therapy dog!
I’m sorry I’m not responding individually but I really appreciate your comments. Thank you! You all made my day!
@AndreaH - Of course! You are smaller than me. I’m 5’3 or 4 - not sure any more. 120-125 lbs. My underbust is 28 and my bust is 33. Largest circumference under my arm is about 35 and my upper arm at the largest part is almost 12”. I’m usually a 4-6 in BR tops. I’m usually a 6 in Lulu and small in Athleta. I can wear a 34A bra… I’m almost never an XS so that makes me think that a 4 in the Dalby would work for you unless you have linebacker shoulders—like me. The jacket is fine in the chest and waist —plenty of room there. It’s the shoulders and upper arms that are the limiting factor. Hope that helps!
@Suz: Thank you!! The boots are the Sam Edelman Lex (?) in the light green. They were an NAS pick last year. I tried them in the cream but they were just too light for me.
@Bijou: You are so wise. I tried the dress today and think it’s just right. Not too snug and JFE! Besides, I love the color and it makes me happy!
