Stephanie...you do have me pegged...my proportions have gone to my head! And one last time before I let my measurements go (I promise!) I just have to share (one last hurrah) that I've lost a few more pounds and my measurements are currently 40x30x41...now, hopefully, it's out of my system. Since I cannot make myself shorter and I'm going to release myself from the anguish of always thinking about my proportions, I will seek out dresses that match my height and are less form fitting. I'll check out JCPenny...I thought they were out of business. No more spray dresses (well no more than those that I already have). Thanks for calling me out...your suggestion is in rhythm with Crissy's recommendation to relax. I'm trying...I'm trying really hard. Nikki
