Melbourne cup dress

I aim to fit into a dress that I bought back in 2010 for a Melbourne Cup lunch.  The dress was a size too small at the time and I had an unrealistic expectation that I could lose weight within a month to wear it.  The dress has hung "unworn" in my wardrobe ever since. 

Obviously, it's unrealistic once again to think that I could fit into it for Melbourne Cup in November 2014, however, with a healthier lifestyle over the next 12 months, I'd like to think that I might just be able to squeeze into the dress by July 2015 at the conclusion of The 50 List.  Luckily, the dress is a classic design, so four years on the style hasn't dated!
