Clothing crisis

The dress code for tomorrow’s wedding is black tie so I have been digging out all my evening dresses from my university days out of the wardrobe. The trouble is, they seem to have shrunk in the last four years. Quite a lot. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get a single one on and done up properly. They fitted fine around the waist, but it seems that 26-year old me had no hips or bust. Normally I wouldn’t grumble about developing more curves in these areas but it is frustrating suddenly finding you have nothing to wear!
