I was reading the other day that it is a popular thing for many women to buy a dress a size smaller than they take in the weeks leading up to Xmas in the hope that they will have shed some weight in time for the party season…

It never works though does it girls…? right now if you walk through the Tesco where I work you can see a lot of very nice glam dresses all on sale, hugely discounted, but unfortunately most of them are all in the small sizes – one particular style is all size 8′s! yet they are down to £8 where they originally were £35 just a few weeks ago.

It doesn’t seem to stop a lot of women who are rather NOT size 8 buying them though; one of my work colleagues claimed she was taking weight loss supplements in order to fit into a dress she had just bought for New Years Eve – she bought it TWO sizes too small and in the same breath told me about all the parties she will be attending over the coming weeks. Parties mean three things: food, booze and calories. And no wonder most of those new frocks end up unworn at the back of the wardrobe – a good buy nonetheless…
