Okay, I want to know what do folks wear while shrinking?? I'm between sizes right now - the big stuff looks sloppy and baggy and slob-like. I own a few "skinny things" from a former life, but I'm not quite there yet. So how can I look nice for the holidays??

- I have very little money, and can't afford a new wardrobe each time I drop a size - and I do plan on dropping another size or two before I'm at Maintenance level.

- figure challenge - I'm small on top, big on bottom and my legs are quite heavy. Many well-meaning friends tell me how big baggy shirts over a pair of tights just fills the bill no matter what BUT - they all have long straight legs, and any excess weight hides under the baggy top. That being said, I do wear tunics & tights, but just at home or quick trips for groceries or the library.

- I do sew, that is an option in terms of saving money.

so, I'm open to any and all suggestions

thanks, Doreen
