Oversized

Last year when Ethan went to prom, he wore the tuxedo that he had for the Barbershop Chorus performance he was in the year before. It fit, but it was a bit snug. But, for just a few hours of prom, it served its purpose. This year, he had a date, and he said early on, he was going to go rent a tux. Because he is a big kid, I called the flower shop to make sure they would have one in his size. The lady who runs the flower shop knows Ethan (matter of fact, we are related to her), so she knew what "size" I was talking about, and reassured me it wasn't a problem. Sure wasn't. They measured him. The tuxes came in Monday, and he went down to try it on to make sure it didn't need altering. Honestly, it could have, but he didn't want to chance not having it for Saturday, so he left them as is. The breeches were too big. What he ended up doing was taking the suspenders from his other tux and that kept his pants up without having to worry about being depants mid dance. Its good to know they have his size and bigger. Not that I want him to ever wear the size he could have been for them to fit right. But, when you are "this" size, its not very often you find something that is too big for you. But this sure was. But, he still looked handsome in his tux.
