Hi! To all those who replied to Body Changes posted by me earlier today--thanks! You made a good deal of sense and I think I'll wait until early February before deciding on what I am going to do; either purchase the dress then or see if I am able to wear a different dress. By January, I should be at the point where I'll be re-evaluating and see where I need to go at that point. If you have more suggestions, please do let me know! Thanks again! Sarah
