I need to drop 2 dress sizes in 80 days😩 Are you even African if you don’t have a tailor story? 😭
This one was 100% on me though lol. ChatGPT has made life so much easier, so I thought… why not test its accuracy with my aso-ebi outfit? There was no one around to help me measure at the time, I needed to send it urgently, and I followed the measurements it generated.
I really had hope. I truly believed Chat wouldn’t let me down 😭

Well… the dress arrived and it does NOT fit. At all. 🥲

Looking back, I think the mistake was in my prompt: “give me my UK sizing for a size 12/14 fitted full-length dress.” That word fitted did me dirty. I also didn’t specify that the fabric had no stretch, which makes a huge difference. If it had stretch, this dress would’ve fit like a glove!

I was actually so excited to give the tailor some publicity because she’s a young, talented designer. She was professional throughout, communicated well, and came highly recommended by a family member; so this is absolutely no fault of hers.
Now I have two options: remake the dress… or take this as the push I clearly need.
I can remake it, yes. But I also want to use this moment as motivation to push myself a bit harder to lose the extra weight. I just feel and look my best at a certain size. That said, it’s definitely been harder now than it was in my 20s and early 30s.  The body is not as forgiving anymore 😅

So… we move!

Wish me luck guys lol 🤞🏾 I’ll keep you posted from time to time here and on the blog. I’ll also be sharing my workouts over on YouTube: AFROGIRLFITNESS 💪🏾
