I bought a dress for the last phase of Project 333 that doesn’t look very good on me. In fact, I know I’ll never wear it again.
Pre-Project 333, I would have kept this dress in my closet.
I used to hold onto clothes I didn’t wear because:
- I had spent the money. Even though I knew I would never wear something again, I’d keep it because I felt guilty. Instead of immediately giving away the item, I’d let it rent space in my closet. Today, I let go of the dress and the guilt.
- I might need it. I used to play the what if game. What if I attend a gray dress event? What if none of my other clothes fit and that’s the only thing I can wear? Today I only keep clothing that I wear regularly.
- It might look good tomorrow. Yes, perhaps my body will magically transform, I’ll grow a few inches taller and the dress will look great. Today, I only keep clothes that fit me well.
So, in the spirit of celebrating the new Project 333 me, I want to give you my dress. I wore it three times, for less than 5 hours total. It’s in perfect condition and would be great for someone a little taller than my 5’6″ that wears a size 10.
This dress is featured in the image above, but the color is Graphite. The catalog description: Our pullover scoop-neck dress, now with the improved fit you asked for. Eminently easy to wear from day to night. Soft, resilient cotton knit, with flattering cap sleeves and a ruched bodice. Fully lined skirt. Below-knee length.
If you’d like me to send you this dress, leave a message on the Project 333 Facebook page under my post that says “Please Take my Dress”. I’ll pick a random winner from those comments and announce on Facebook.
I plan to give away more as this phase of Project 333 comes to an end. Subscribe to stay in touch or follow me on Twitter. To learn more about living with less, check out Be More with Less.

I love this dress and if it’s in graphite…so much the better! I’m on the tail end of my Great American Apparel Diet, so having gone 9 months without any new apparel, this would fit in great to my next phase of Project 333 which I will stick to forever! This would be a very versatile addition to my plan and fits the criteria for my body type. Thanks for the offer and consideration!
I would take the dress in a heart beat. Thanks 🙂
The waistline is indeed hard to flatter… If even the girl in the photoshoot has to take weird positions to make it look good, it won’t work. It does look comfy though, and with a jacket it could work.
