Thank you for sharing your story. I agree with other commenters that you should donate the dress. I used to hang onto clothes that were too small for me or which didn't make me feel fabulous when I wore them. One day, I realized that wasn't serving me at all, and that those clothes could be used by someone else and make them feel good, for a low cost at a thrift shop. Now I go through my clothes every few weeks and donate frequently without replacing the clothes that go. I'd rather have five outfits I love than 100 I don't. As long as I have enough to get me to laundry day!
