sanj and lightgetsin, I tried on a suit in size 8. (Actually I tried a couple; I am speaking now not of the fabulous 3-piece "tuxedo" thing I tried in the fitting room, but the also fabulous long-coat thing whose coat I tried out in the store.) And while the sense in which it fit was more technical than actual, it must not be denied that I did put on a size 8 suit jacket and button it in the front -- that is to say, it fit over my shoulders and around my waist -- with no contortions of any kind.
That's a single digit, y'all. And it'll be the right size by the time I hit my birthday. I kind of don't know how to process that fact. Seriously. A little bit freaking out over here.
