Congratulations, Debbie. A couple of recommendations:

First, save ONE " fat outfit " as a reminder of where you were, and to

show at some future bandster event. Save just ONE outfit, perhaps

blouse and pants or whatever.

Second, hit the resale shops. I can assure you that many of them have

things that no one can tell from new, and in some cases ARE new, even

with tags on them. Imagine someone bought them and then didn't like

or fit (maybe they got fatter?), or else got them as a gift that

couldn't be returned. I'm one who never thought of doing that, that

it was only done by " poor people " (meaning way poorer than me, as I've

sure never been rich), and that I shouldn't do such things. Wow, I

was wrong. First went to a decent one with a friend who was shopping

for baby clothes, as they go through them so quickly. I went with her

grudgingly. Was I surprised...same with baby stuff as I describe

above. I figured on stuff that was raggy with spit up stains. Nope.

Anyway, my best thinking for this morning.
