I'm wearing 2x pants and shirts

apple-saucy · July 5, 2011

so i went shopping on Saturday for new under clothes and popped into another store nearby to try to find some capri's or shorts for the family vacation that is coming up in 2wks.

I grabbed the 4x's and the 3x's and on a whim a 2x capri's

I laughed at myself putting the 4x "Safe" pants on they were SO loose and baggy! I totally skipped over the 3x's and grabbed the 2x's...took a deep breath stepped in and began to pull them up fully expecting to have to stop at my thighs or do a shimmy wiggle booty skooch to get them over my hips.

They fit. Not only do they fit. They are a bit baggy in the seat. I ran out and grabbed 2 more pairs of 2x bottoms in different brands/styles they ALL fit...they weren't baggy and they weren't flattering but they fit!

I'm now the proud owner of 1 pair of slightly baggy 2x capris and 3 2x shirts to go with the capris.

Next up was the plus size bra and underwear store. I got measured...46DD down from a 52DDD/F I bought 4 bras I also bought 22/24 size panties one size down (and that size I had to do the shimmy wiggle booty skooch to get up and then the elastic would threaten to snap ) They fit perfectly

No more Shimmy Wiggle Booty Skooch in the dressing room!!!!

All you ladies KNOW that move right??

Congrats!!!!

I LOVE having to get smaller clothes than I thought I would, congrats!!! This is so much fun. I am from a snug 26/28 to a 22 bottoms and XL top!!! It took several tops for me to believe it, I kept thinking the shirt must be made really big!! lol Yes, I too have done the Shimmy Wiggle Booty Skooch to get clothes on, but I didn't have to do it this time either. I did do the happy dance though!! :whoo:

woohoo!! I <3 my sleeve!!! :love:

It sounds a little like you bought clothes that may be a little too BIG for you already!! lol... I think you should have done the shimmy scoot dance thingy and got your skinny-shrinking booty into the straight XL's (without the 2!!)... That will be your size next week anyway!! lol. It's great to hear everybody's success stories!! You go girl!!
