My Lovely Unbranded and Very Slimming Green Dress

I'm going to tell you a story about a magical dress. I was walking down the street when I saw it in a store window. It stood out from the granny wardrobe surrounding it. It was too unusual, too tiny, too green. It was loose on the top, tight around the waist and the skirt was too short and slightly ruffled. I'll repeat again, it was very, very green. I passed by that store few more times and I couldn't keep my eyes off it - I knew they would go well with my gladiator sandals. One day I decided to buy it, not planning to wear it at all. Still, I tried it on for size and I was flabbergasted! It suited me perfectly, it even made me look some 10 pounds slimmer. The owner of the store was speechless when she saw me wearing it, she urged me not to take it off and leave the store wearing it, and I did. Walking down the street in that dress felt like gliding. Few heads did turn. I bought it 6 years ago and it's still in pristine shape because I've only worn it 5-6 times. You're wondering what's so magical about it? In those 6 years I've gained some weight, lost some and repeated the whole cycle over again, but every time I put on that dress it fits perfectly. Every time I wear it I feel young and slim as I was on the day I bought it.
