Last October I bought my dress from a woman on craigslist. Brand new - with tags Davids Bridal gown ($649) plus veil & crinny for $100! woot woot! I tried it on and liked it, it was just a smidge too big - no big deal. I stored the dress at my mothers house because Mr. Cora doesn't wanna see the dress. I was at my moms on Saturday and decided to try on my dress. HOLY SMOKES! The zipper overlaps by 2inches! I have lost 33 pounds since last August, and I can't really see it in my day to day life, but trying on the dress was an eye opener. YAY! But I hope my seamstress can handle the alterations!
