Five years ago I excitedly bid on a snazzy black spaghetti strap top. The seller reported it as being a 3X, so I figured at 280ish lbs., I should be able to get into it. HAH. When it arrived, I was bummed to see that it was a cheap store 3X, which is more like a 1.5X, if such a size existed. (To add insult to injury, I later found out that the top sold at DEB stores for $15.99. The eBay seller auctioned off several of them for $40+!) But I liked it so much that I refused to get rid of it. It’s been hanging in one closet after another (since we have moved three times since then), and finally… it fits. 
Ditto for this Fruit Loop type shirt, heh. Only this one came from Fashion Bug and was $24.99 in the summer of ’05. I wore it a few times, but since it didn’t fit well, it too spent its time in my closet… until now!
Those tanks + a few other “tighter” (100 lbs. ago, anyway) tanks + a few new cheap tanks I picked up = I am all set for the summer. For tops, anyway. I still need to get some capris and skirts!
