Well, I have to lose some fat anyway. The dress isn't really tailored for thin people, but for western people. Meaning it's already intended for more curves than most asian women might have.
Seriously, I have to lose some weight. My breasts are much too large, and the main reason why I don't fit into the dress is that I have just a bit too much fat on my hips and/or butt. If that is gone, I should fit in there fine.
We've thought about letting out the seams a bit, but it's really not that easy with that dress, and with silk, too. Also, the dress is supposed to be pretty tight, so it wouldn't look good with seams let out too much.
Here's a picture of the dress style:
Qipao.
And don't worry, I'm not becoming anorexic or anything. I really have to lose some weight, since I'm about 10 kg above the norm for my height.
