We are going out. I delve into the back of my wardrobe for my Christmas party dress. Slipping it on hurriedly – thinking about what shoes to wear and wondering if I have a pair of black tights – I stop a moment. Had the outfit originally come with a belt? Had I missed doing up a zip? The boned dress that used to fit me like a corset is loose. I pinch the excess swathes of material on either side of my waistline, unbelieving. My weightloss has been so gradual and understated, it’s taken a change of season to astonish me.
Standing in front of the mirror, I hitch up the spaghetti straps of the dress, practically doubling them over. With a few temporary tweaks, using safety pins and lingerie tape, I transform the dress from a fitted corset to a loose Empire-line. The demure evening jacket that I’d planned to wear to cover myself up, lies abandoned on my bedroom floor, as I skip out of the house.
