Busty...really?

I have never been a busty woman. I have ever only been somewhere in the A-B range, depending on the make of the bra. Since becoming pregnant, I have noticed some change in my bust, but I hadn't thought much of it. My husband had mentioned that I was a bit bustier, but I didn't really realise how much so until this past weekend.

We were at a good friend's wedding on Saturday, and it was a hot day, so I wore some comfortable clothes for the drive (about 2 hours) since I have been sweating a lot easier since becoming pregnant. I decided to do the old switcheroo of clothing in the car. Before we left I had tried on the skirt I would be wearing, just to make sure it still fit, but I didn't bother to try on the shirt because I didn't think my bust had grown all that much. The shirt was a really nice empire waist, dark crimson, silk shirt. Really pretty.

Anyway, when we arrived at the wedding location, I quickly slipped into the skirt, and then switched into the nice silk shirt. I had started to zip it up (it had an invisible side zipper), but it didn't seem to be cooperating. I thought it had to do with my position in the car, so I zipped it up as far as it would go and got out of the car. Then I realised that the shirt was NOT zipping up. Slightly panicked, I got my husband to come and help.

So if you can picture me with my arm held in the air, struggling to hold the shirt down while my husband tried to pry the zipper closed. An ivisible zipper, very dainty, very hard for my husband to handle. We were quite the sight. Luckily, a good friend arrived just as we were struggling in the parking lot, most certainly making an amusing sight for the arriving guests. She came over to help, and between her and my hubby, the zipper finally cooperated. Which is good, because it was the only shirt I'd brought. I have to say though, it definitely did not fit as it had the last time I wore it and I felt a little restricted in my breathing all day. What we don't do to look nice. Ha

Next time I will definitely try on the outfit BEFORE we arrive to the church.
