Do any of you have a dream wedding outfit/a peg for it? I'm nowhere close to getting married but I still enjoy looking at bridal collections for fun/daydreaming. Personally I'd like something minimalist and sleek, and pants instead of a skirt. Would love to see others' looks.

Cigarette: straight cut that's not as loose as straight, hip or waist

>>155946I generally think 3/4 length (hit around mid calf like your pic) skirts are unflattering on shorter women because they only emphasize the lack of height and appear to cut off the body at an awkward level. But I think anyone can wear full length skirts because they maintain proper visual proportions (lower body consisting of unbroken line from waist or hip to ankle).
If you want to do something similar I would go with a mini or knee length skirt that won’t further appear to shorten the legs.

Does anyone else think vintage fashion is going to make a HUGE comback after quarantine and the whole corona stuff? Costume-tubers like rachel maksy and bernadette banner got immensly popular and trends like cottagecore also very much point towards old-timey styles, plus they are incredibly flattering for average women differently from the y2k inspired stuff that only flatters anachans.

>>156606No, I think it'll remain a niche. I could be wrong but I just think don't think the average woman would actually want to dress like that, but maybe I'm biased because I think most vintage fashion is hideous.

>>157317Yeah! Disclaimer: I haven't lived there but a few of my friends have lived in Vancouver before moving east for school and/or work. From their stories, it won't be cold during winter and it won't snow very much, if at all. It however gets very rainy so you will want to carry an umbrella and/or wear a raincoat there. One of my friends described Vancouver winter as a wet cold: you're first ok with the temperature but the longer you stay out, the colder you get. Despite that, I think it'd be good to have a winter parka in case it gets too cold or if you plan on visiting different provinces out east or to go skiing.
Where I live gets fairly cold (-10 celc or so is the average day) and it snows a lot. For really cold days, I have a long down parka so that I don't die. It won't get as cold as, say Montreal or Edmonton, but I'm always cold.

If it’s a west coast or maritime province though, just be ready for assloads of snow on the east, and impossible amounts of rain on the west.

You might be able to stretch & set it: get it wet in warm soapy water (observe the wash tag though), stretch it over a plate so the hole is centered nicely, and let air dry, then steam it with a steam iron if it can take the heat. That should at least straighten it out a bit.

For anons who care about the longevity of their clothes, where do you guys shop that isn't like $100+ per garment? I want to buy better made clothes (like 100% cotton, wool, denim, etc) without paying out the ass. Picrel is my 'style' which is pretty basic (I like having a capsule wardrobe so I can just assemble outfits without any issues).
Before someone suggests thrifting, I have had literally zero luck doing that. My thrift shops are always full of the same brands typically worn by older people (sidenote: wtf is Coldwater Creek and why is it everywhere in Goodwill) and those clothes aren't particularly good quality either.

>>156174When fashion cycles it tends to come back with the current consumer market in mind.
Y2k fashion has made a comeback but as you can see it's far more inclusive of different bodies than it was back in the day. Low rise pants are an option again but they are not the only pants that are in style for example. With even more people being overweight and older women taking more of an interest in current trends than they did back then the consumer market has had to adjust. It's no longer only slim, young women taking an interest in looking trendy and wanting to feel attractive. The internet and websites such as Instagram are reaching all women and making women from all walks of life want to take part. What used to be known as 'youth fashion' and what was once meant only for the young and thin has expanded to a much wider market.
So when 2010s fashion does cycle around again it will be in line with the current consumer market.
Right now we are starting a sustainability movement when it comes to fashion, along with body inclusivity. This has come at a time where we are going to enter a very possible global recession. More and more people are seeing the impact that fast fashion is having on the people who work in sweatshops and produce these clothes and have to deal with the landfill when we throw them away. I think we are going to see more brands produce sustainably and less reckless buying. We are also going to see far more people swapping clothing and wearing used clothing. With the current global crisis lots of fast brands are actually falling into complete bankruptcy. I think sustainable fashion will only expand as the next fashion cycle comes around.

>>158235Anon, look at sweaters and basics from a newish brand called Quince, can also look into Everlane if you don't have issues with them.
In general "boring" "adult" brands like J Crew, Eddie Bauer, Banana Republic have a lot of sweaters and basics made of 100% natural whatever- but def look at fabric content, because there's also a lot that aren't. All three of them have huge huge sales and discount code opportunities running almost all the time. Land's End is another one to look at. If all you want is a plain black sweater you have it really easy- you'll get nice clothing at super discount (j crew, banana) or you'll get fairly HQ old school built to last stuff (eddie, lands) at a good price because you arent paying for the brand to fuss with styling, courting tiktok influencers, or whatever else.
Finally, get a sweater shaver, and then search on eBay/poshmark/etc for 100% cashmere, 100% merino, etc. You can get people's gently used HQ basics for thrift store prices (I do all the time).

>>158258Im not excited for that, sustainability is a fucking fraud for first world countries, I live in south america and legit everything you can reasonably buy is fast-fashion tier stuff, I was actually flabbergasted by the quality of some F21.
Also second hand is ridiculously hard to find something wearable, I have some hand me downs from my mum but our country used to be a dictatorship fairly recent so we genuinely didn't get "fashionable" until the early 2000s, aka thrift shop clothes are just jeans and tshirt, and the weird stretchy polyester dress sometimes.

No. 158386
>>158356From the comments I see here or on the internet in general, it just seems to me like people don't know how to thrift and expect to find high quality items for two dollars in shops that already do the picking and sorting for them (which is why they charge more, so that won't happen).
There isn't such a thing as a "good" thrift shop because they all get their clothes from a variety of sources, and "good" is subjective anyway. If by good you mean having higher quality designer items, people usually sell those online or take them to a consignment shop because they get more money for it there and people are better informed in general nowadays. Also, lots of people expect thrifting to be as easy as walking into H&M and picking up a cheap trendy item in your size for tomorrow's date, and then get frustrated when they find nothing.
General tips for thrifting:
>Get your measurements!!!Take out a tape measure (or a string and a ruler), find out your bust, waist, hips, shoulder, sleeve length, inseam and seat measurements. "I'm an M" or "I'm a size 6" means nothing when cuts are different from brand to brand. Some pants just give me a wedgie because the seat is too shallow for me even though they're technically my size.
So many people who say thrifting sucks do not do this and are shocked when stuff doesn't fit them. Or if an online thrift store has reviews, they will often say "I ordered a medium but it's too small!" which is really stupid.
>Measure a similar garment you already own to see how it will fit, how long it will be on you etc
>Search the name of the brands you likeEbay, Goodwill, Etsy, swap.com, any of the reselling sites (thredup, depop etc) are good for this, also FB Marketplace, FB pages, Facebook buy/sell/swap groups and Craigslist or whatever local flea market platforms you have
These are good also if you live in Podunk, Alabama or a third world country.
For weeb brands try Rakuten, Yahoo!Auction, Mercari, Zozotown, Ebay
>Example Ebay search:"Sezane dress 6 -8-4-xs-s-m-34-36-38-red-black" gives you Sezane dresses in size 6 and removes other sizes and those two colors from the search
>Try to already have an idea of what kind of wardrobe you want, what you need for it etc
>Check often and try to learn when they get new items inFor example, my country's online thrift shops put up new stuff on Wednesdays and Thursdays usually. Email them and ask if you can't find out otherwise.
>Look abroadEspecially neighboring countries/cities (or Japan/Korea for weebshit), use Google Translate if necessary.
>Get better at Googling/searching websites for items in your size, colour, brand etcNowadays there's search filters but they tend to be broken and stuff is often sorted wrong.
>Buy nice or buy twice, and take care of the stuff you have alreadyEven if something is used, it's usually better to pay a bit more for something better that will suit you and your wardrobe/lifestyle perfectly. Be picky, don't get things because they look close enough and you can make it work somehow. Inb4 I can't afford it, I live in a third world country on minimum wages and I can afford it so you can too. You don't have to have a huge wardrobe with thousands of options to look good and be comfy.
The one exception is sizing, if you learn how to hem and take in jeans by hand and have chunky thighs or a big ass you can buy a size bigger and alter them to fit you perfectly, and it's super easy, you just need some strong thread and a needle.
You don't have to listen to my advice or anything, but I'm super happy with my wardrobe now, everything fits great and it's all thrifted except for underwear. It takes a bit of work but saves a lot of money in the long run (if only because you're not constantly replacing things and buying them again).

>>158497Idk if I'm too picky (burgerfag) but I legit cannot buy anything at Forever21 anymore. Let me clarify that I used to buy everything there when I was 12 in 2010, but as I got older and became more practical the more and more I can't find anything to buy. It's not the fabric quality, but the lack of options that they have for when I'm looking for a specific item. Let's say you want to find a plain white button-down, you go to Forever21 and they have like 8 versions of that but each one has something excess (like frills, multi-colored buttons, patterned trim) that basically disqualifies all of their options because the add-ons limit the shirt in terms of styling with multiple outfits. Even novelty t-shirts for music & film are always the least versatile in terms of styling because Forever21 can't make a normal band shirt–they have to add distressing/tears, tie-dye, cut-outs, etc.
That isn't to say that F21 never has staple items, because I actually do own and wear a couple of items from there that are (mainly tops). But I've only found something to buy prob like once out of every twenty times I go there. Especially while they slowly devolved from selling basic sweaters to selling Cheeto bodysuits and denim jackets with "don't taco bout me!" & a ~kawaii~ taco on the back.

>>159861 I’m in the same boat as you anon and unfortunately it’s just that dresses like these aren’t tailored to suit all body types. If your boobs aren’t too big then your arms are and it throws it off or the rest of your body is too wide/round for the silhouette to translate “correctly”.
What you can try is this style of dress (long, draping, a bit flowy) but with more form fitting design at least on the upper half. It will accentuate your shape and keep you from looking frumpy without it being skin tight. Because in the previous anon’s picture on the right you can see the dress looks like it makes more sense when the person wearing it has a more petit or slim upper body. Picrel is example of the difference in shape I’m talking about from Nastygal (

I still wear it and there's often great second hand items on auction sites. I personally have evolved my style into a different colour combination but it still involves lot's of texture, defined waist or shape and accessories that aren't found in regular stores (HM, F21, Cotton-on ect)

Did you notice a difference in the way people treated you vs if you didn’t put effort in? Do you repeat outfits or have a wardrobe you can mix up?

>>160637Hi, I usually dress up everyday because my clothes are just unusual so whatever I put on I'm "dressed up", I have a lot of blouses and dresses, and weird skirts and pants and even if I wear a normal tshirt or sweater I wear a vest or weird jacket over it. I haven't noticed people treating me any different. I just get compliments from girls sometimes.
I try not to repeat outfits, to always try something new, but I've noticed that when I do try something new it just doesn't work so I think I will be sticking to tried and true outfits from now on… I'm not some fashion know it all, I just pick whatever I have in my closet

Been watching a lot of 90's shows I love the r&b aesthetic from back then. So comfy and fun I keep going back to pics of Nia Long and Left Eye for my Spring 2021 inspo. Judging by the fashion houses I follow I'm not too far off the mark in trends for the SS21 season, seems to emphasize returning back to basics. Really cool to see the fashion industry finally give in to the demands of the people and switch their main textiles.

>>160637I’m the first anon who replied to you! I have a lot of vintage pieces so I’d wear those a lot (lace-up leather knee high boots from the 60s, peasant blouses, tapestry skirts, a big orange brown corduroy coat) and a lot of statement pieces (faux fur leopard jacket, band tshirts, free people bell bottoms). To think of like, outfits, some of my favorites from last year were platform sandal heels with huge free people bells, a band T-shirt and a denim jacket, or a faux fur jacket with a crop tank top, a plaid miniskirt and docs, or a long skirt with a band T-shirt layered over a turtleneck with docs and my leopard print coat.
I’d say I have a wardrobe I can mix up a lot! A lot of my stuff can be paired with more basic pieces to tone it down, or dressed up with similarly out there clothes. I do have lazy days where I wear just jeans and a T-shirt, however I’ve tried to find jeans that I like that are unusual fits to make it stand out a little bit more (low-rise or baggy jeans, button fly flares), and I always try to wear a cute pair of earrings. I also really like juicy tracksuits for my lazy days running errands which are definitely more “dressed up” than standard sweats. I do often get compliments on my dressed up outfits, I think people just like to see outfits that are different and fun!! I guess I feel like I am treated differently solely because my outfits do attract attention, dressing down and not having people approach me can be nice.

>>160690As someone who has had to hand wash clothes many times in life, yeah, that sounds a little off. If the clothes are not too dirty, then yes the detergent does most of the work, hand/machine agitation is for dislodging dirt and stuff. I've washed entire loads of filthy clothes by hand and hung to dry them & they came out clean and fresh, so it's absolutely possible, but not just by leaving them in detergent+water. Washing machines spin and agitate for a reason, after all.
His clothes must not get much use other than casual wear, but this is a YMMV kind of thing.

It’s hard to give advice without a pic but some ideas:

- not too many statement pieces
- limit your colour palette
- ensure the look goes with any other jewellery and your outfit as a whole

>>161001What country are you from?
Im not a big help; i looked but found because im in europe it was cheaper for me to just buy them here and not deal with VAT and shipping. It seems to be worth it for Australians though.
I recently watched a youtubers video about this. I dont want to shill it but you can probably find googling second hand luxury brand in tokyo videos. She gives a handful of the shop names and links their ebay links. I would try to only buy from physical stores with ebay/jahoo auctions only though because friends have still gotten good looking knockoffs. The stores always verify that its authentic and usually really picky with their quality ratings. Whenever you find a good deal; double check ebay/2nd hand online shops and compare shipping and potential custom fees.
In my experience the few hundred bucks i "Save" i would have to pay in VAT. I know americas custom limits are much higher but if youre buying a 2k+ purse, i would check the tax rate AND fees. Ive bought niche japanese stuff like lolita and paid 70 euros on a $200 dress because of the handling fees but again Americans dont have this problem.

AF1s or converse are def clown shoe territory however.
As for if you need them - that's for you to decide! i personally love them and think they are nice to make any outfit more "dressed down" and young/sporty but if those are not the vibes you are going for/just don't like the look, don't bother.

>>161223I wouldn’t say they are a necessity but different iterations of the white sneaker have been on trend for like 8 years now and they match with a lot of diff outfits so they
are fairly ubiquitous
I have the same size feet as you and have had like 10 different styles of white sneakers over the years, so apologies in advance for going into mini review mode. honestly I lean into the bratz doll feet proportions pretty hard. Converse are a hardddd no for me. Nike AF-1s are probably the least chunky sneaker I’ve really liked over the years. Fila disruptors had a moment there but they aren’t as versatile as I’d want them to be as an everyday wear with my current style. I have a pair of Jeffrey Campbell platform sneakers that give off the same vibe but aren’t as aggressively sporty. I’ve owned a few diff adidas styles and they are comfy but just okay imo. Common Projects and Golden Goose are wayyyy too pricey and aren’t chunky enough. In fact I sold my Common Projects a while ago. if you’re looking for something chunky but wearable maybe try superga’s platform sneakers? There are also a lot of smaller brands doing their takes on the chunky white sneaker that could possibly work for you better than the extremely mainstream brands

I bought the Fila disruptors but in pastel colors not too long ago and they arent very versatile.

I used to get mine from American Apparel back when it actually had an online store until I grew out of them. I tried to replace them with a bigger size but the pair I got from their Amazon store were super cheap and ripped after less than 4 hours of wear, and in the most random places not even at the seams.

Ive noticed some stores, such as Victoria secret, save it for their Annual sales. My country has its own version of ASOS online only retailer and its returned products, slightly damaged or stuff that doesnt sell goes to its own branded in person outlet shop.
When i worked at a department store we were required to ship it back to the vendor if it didnt sell after being on clearance for a certain amount of time; the vendor gathers and sorts all their product and then its shipped out to outlets. I can imagine that if they dont gather enough of the same product they may just destroy it. No idea how it works for online shops; it could be that the product is just returned to vendor or it could be sent to its outlet shop if theyre low on stock/doing well.

>>162314It depends on the exact item, its material, and the existing shaping/darts/seams/etc. Generally, yes, I’d say anything sort of formalwear alterations is easier than denim (I do professional bridal alterations for a living but would never touch jeans). Adding a bust dart to a dress with no lining, taking in a side seam, hemming something, etc are easy starter alterations a beginner level seamstress can do with practice. Adding side seam pockets to dresses is also a good way to practice and there’s plenty of free YouTube tutorials for it.

>>162035 says the opposite, but I think she means vintage communities, not rockabilly.
For example, if you like this pic, you could reproduce it with a similar dress and hairstyle, but you would want to avoid rockabilly style victory rolls or caked makeup. Tacky rockabilly also tends to have a lot of edgy/quirky motifs and bold color combinations, so part of the reason this piece works is because it's just flowers with a cohesive color scheme.

>>162945Blue isn't exclusively cool, so it's not going to look great if you wear a warm blue on a cool toned skin.
I am cool toned too but I have veins like you too. According to my seasonal color (12 not 4) I can also wear some gold but silver is the safer choice. Which makes sense with my veins. So I think it's a bit more nuanced than the typical "blue veins = cool, green = warm" you always hear about.
If you know how to tell cool and warm colors apart in clothing you already have, try putting them around your face without make-up on and in natural light. You should be able to tell what flatters you and what doesn't.

>>163429Technical apparel designer here. The appeal of cashmere is that is much softer than “regular” wool because the fibers are incredibly fine. Personally I love cashmere for sweaters because I find most wool scratchy but cashmere and angora are the only kinds soft enough to wear without it being uncomfortable. I’m not rich enough to buy high end cashmere for retail prices so I usually buy if from consignment shops or vintage stores.
Not all cashmere is created equal, so just because something is “cashmere” doesn’t mean it’s necessarily well made. The grade of the cashmere fibers can vary a lot. If you’re buying it from a fast fashion brand, it may feel soft initially but it’s likely to pill and not age well. There’s so much important info that you can’t get from just looking at fiber content unfortunately.
Also, there are times when poly or acrylic fibers or blends are totally appropriate for a sweater! It sort of depends on what style you’re looking for. You can’t get a “chunky knit” look from cashmere because it’s too fine. Some times a sweater doesn’t need to be buttery soft to look and feel nice. (See pic related, which looks cotton or acrylic to me.)

>>164039You can't build a wardrobe that's truly trendy unless you have the money to replace all your clothes every season. If you want to build a longlasting warderobe it's better to focus on either timeless pieces that you know you'll wear for a long time regardless of trends and/or your long-term style.
There's a kibbe thread floating around somewhere in the /g/ catalog, if you can figure out your type it can really help you recognize what clothes pieces work on your face and body-type. The examples are often a bit outdated/unfashionable imo so you need to be able to take the abstract info and apply it to clothes yourself. For me it really helped me recognize what clothes work on me but also understand why certain styles of clothing (for example skater skirts and babydoll dresses) really don't look that good on me even though I badly wanted them to.
If you're also interested in color-theory, look into the 4 or 12 season palletes. Like someone above said, it's a bit of a meme but it's definitely grounded in truth.
> I want to have a nice wardrobe but it seems like a lot of effort to maintain an aesthetic.Building a nice wardrobe that works for your body and/or personal aesthetic IS a lot of effort, both in terms of researching what flatters you and also actually finding and buying those clothes.

I mean that's ultimately what fashio is, wearing what you like. There's nothing wrong with wearing black turtlenecks, minimalistic black clothing is also a style.
You could google search for a list of fashion styles but that's never going to complete you know.

Just explore for a while and see what's out there and surely you'll find something that catches your attention.
>>164927It's trendy rn for sure but the cut and pattern itself are pretty timeless. I think it's non-offensive and timeless enough to buy it.

I'm not a Disney whore by any means, but I like the shape and concept of Elsa's traveling outfit in Frozen 2. I kind of wish there were some normal professional clothing like this.
Not so gauzy, obviously not like a cartoon, but I'm a little obsessed with how "in charge" this silhouette could be with the right materials.
Am I the only one? I think it's the long blazer/jacket/cape with structured shoulders (those aren't actually apparent in the pic I attached), plus the fact that the outfit is flowy and not body-conscious.
No. 166894
>>166893"Elsa’s travel outfit includes a coat, dress, pants, and boots. The coat has very structured shoulders and epaulets to telegraph that she is the queen—anyone who meets her knows she’s the one in charge. The epaulets are meant to feel a bit like armor, imposing and strong, and were originally part of an earlier outfit that was designed but not used in the film. But they created such a beautiful silhouette that we wanted to incorporate them somewhere, and they ultimately became the element we designed her travel outfit around."

As for the shorts I'd look up something like: brown or terracotta, linen paperbag shorts. (Paperbag tends to have that nice relaxed fit and the texture looks linen-y to me but a cotton look would work too, of course.)
But paperbag obviously has the paperbag waist, so a more seamless fit if desired could be a-line shorts instead.

I'm trying to go through the Pinterest route for finding my style but idk if I even want a wardrobe that reflects my tastes or if I just like looking at pretty photos. I used to save a bunch of twee fashion photos like
>>156027 but now I'm disinterested in it completely, then I moved on to dolly Kei, classic lolita and cult party kei (all at the same time, not separately) ,though I dislike how pastels look on me and I dislike the idea of an overly bulky silhouette, particularly on my lower half , but I feel like I'm getting bored of that too. Should I just continue until I find a style that I like for over a year and then try it out, should I give up and settle with a normie wardrobe that is more utilitarian and function that I'm just okay with, or should I do something else entirely?

I hope this doesn't sound shallow but is anyone else glad to be female because we can wear so many more things? We have such a diverse array of clothing and items to wear and choose from and so many different things can look good on us. I feel like female fashion is a lot more interesting that way
No. 167946
>>167896Lol, yes. I know the other anons basically said no, but I love getting dressed and am glad it's more socially acceptable to give a fuck and be ott since I enjoy indulging. Trying to see the silver lining, y'know.
Side note, but it's hilarious when men seem jealous of all our clothing options, and it's just like "you can do whatever you want? But also… do you want to take this away too?? You're already getting accolades for doing the most basic makeup look. What more attention could you possibly need?"
No. 168133
>>167896> we can wear so many more things? > canMen are men, if they want something they'll take it or do it. If men genuinely wanted to dress in more interesting clothing they'd do it and the options would be/are there, the average man just doesn't want to. Therefore you don't have to be flad you're female for that reason.
If anything I think we're at a massive disadvantage, because a girl or woman who doesn't pay attention to how she dresses is a "tomboy" or "frumpy" but a guy who doesn't pay attention how he dresses gets no such commentary.

tbh i do wish society, both western and eastern, was a lot more accepting when it came to fashion and looks bc i feel like a lot more men would be a lot less compelled to fit into specific labels if they were just allowed to dress however and it wasn't a big deal. like say, a normie high school jock wearing a skirt like it's nothing but he doesn't have a whole identity crisis over it, and it doesn't imply anything about his sexuality. idk if i explained myself properly.

Usually upcyclers are taking unwearable clothes and repurposing them or some thrift shops have an abundance of larger sizes and have pickers who pick all better "straight sizes" for online resale. At least ime locally in the midwest.
If you're really concerned about taking from those in need only visit chain thrift shops like savers, gooodwill, salvation army and avoid church thrift shops who might give those in need free clothing. Though the chains usually are known for shady practices and supporting local church thrift stores would likely give back more to local families in need.

I know a lot of people think tabi's in any style by Maison Margiela are seriously ugly but I am thinking of shelling out for a pair. Probably unwise because they are really expensive even on sale and I would be scared to scuff of damage them in any way. I like the mary jane ballerina flats, ballerina flats, babouche loafers, ankle strap heels, and mary jane heels. I am so indecisive about style and colour. I really love the grey but I don't know.

i understand what you mean because i have a small waist, giant thighs, and small calves, and even jeans that are supposed to fit loosely tend to stick to my thigh and then billow out at the knee and the silhouette can be really weird and embarrassing, but i think it comes to a point where you just have to say fuck it and just wear what you want anyway. if you style your outfit well with nice accent pieces, i’m sure you’ll look good!

No. 169540
>>169143Another alaska anon! I'm not in the coldest part of the state, but hopefully I can help a little. The figure in the pic has a defined waist, so if you're trying to hide your belly, I'd suggest flared(a-line, circle, etc.) skirts with waistbands that hit at your smallest point, and tuck in your shirt. It helps hide a tummy without making you look shapeless or frumpy, and I don't think you have to be thin for it to be flattering. I usually keep warm with thick wool tights or leggings underneath and wool or cashmere sweaters (thrift them, online thrift stores like thredup are great for this if you know what you're looking for), and my big puffer jacket for when I'm outside. Nice skirts made from thicker fabrics tend to drape really nicely, so don't be afraid of tucking in oversized sweaters, it shouldn't look lumpy. I'm kind of tall, so I normally go for midi skirts, but knee length might be better for you if you're worried about looking short.
Of course this is all kind of assuming we have similar fashion tastes, so I apologize if it doesn't work for you. I do get compliments on how I dress pretty often, though, and it isn't expensive if you can thrift shop.

We all know about vanity sizing and just how sizing is fucked in general, but shoe sizes have their moments as well.
Was gonna get a new pair of air forces since mine were busted as fuck but was like nah since the original price went up. As I was gonna go off the site I saw that they have a "older kids" section, I converted the sizes and I only had to go up half a size (and my feet arent uwu smol either). They were half the price tf.
So if you are gonna buy shoes check to see if they have them in older kids/teen sizes, it could save you a lot of money.

No. 171269
>>166699>>170308>>170309>>170310I feel like the capsule linked here
>>170196is missing a lot. Yes, I know it's meant to be basic. But I see exactly one "nice" item (the black dress). The rest is skinny jeans + boxy top. Maybe it's a step toward dressing better, but I think it's helpful for people in transition to start incorporating more business or professional clothing into everyday clothes (even if you're just going to uni). Start experimenting with a blazer, buy a couple nice collared shirts that fit your breasts and are not see-through (outlets are good for this if you are in the US). Go to a quiet store and try on different styles of jeans. Don't cheap out on jeans. Places like Primark have shit quality jeans, and their skinny jeans / jeggings are so unflattering. People wear them because they are cheap, not because they look good.
Skinny jeans are on their way out if you care about fashion - I'll still wear mine sometimes, but I kept hand-me-down bootcuts from my sister so I'm one of those horrible hoarders I guess. I really like the look of narrow bootcut jeans in a darker wash. I'm going to sound very mid-2000s here, but you really can dress that up or down easily. Skinny jeans are just never great outside of casual situations. I ended up at a club once in them (no time to change) and I remember how gross I felt for some reason, even though other people were dressed more casually than I was.
Another thing to do is think about what colors work for you. Sometimes these aren't your favorite colors. I wear more brown than the average person, probably. I can't wear millennial pink or baby pastels - I look sick. The capsule linked above could make certain complexions look sickly.
When you are going from no wardrobe to the next step, I think you can do it gradually, considering the value of things as you go.
Do you have a bra that fits you - 100% without a doubt fits you? That is more valuable than all the ballsack bags in the world. That is the first thing you need. It sucks getting groped by a bra fitter, but go do it, and buy some new bras if you have any doubt. Since I vaguely remember how many small band size + larger cup size women are here, this is my favorite bra:
https://www.bravissimo.com/products/rebecca-bra-faj1/#beige-faj1nuIt's cute even in beige, never shows through, is soft and comfortable, and comes in 30 band size. I feel a little better about my shit life when I wear this one.

Where you live may be a factor too. I'm not studying in my home country, and here too much color is uncommon. You'd get a lot of attention dressing like this in winter where I am.

>>170196>>170491These are both hideous for different reasons. A good capsule wardrobe will have an item for every need you might have. Mine is

For summer I additionally have two pairs of shorts in black linen and denim, and I have two wool coats in camel and forest green. I have a pair of boat-neck tops in taupe and black that I've been thinking about phasing out of my wardrobe since they don't really have a role.
Another important thing to note is that I only purchase natural fibers and get my clothes tailored to fit me perfectly if they do not do so already off-the-rack. Tailoring is really cheap.

>>172199Nta but boring is kind of inevitable with a capsule wardrobe. It'd be very difficult to have a small wardrobe with exciting pieces that you can all mix and match easily.
Imo there's only two reasons to have a capsule wardrobe: you're a super busy mom or carreer woman and simply don't have time to waste on clothes or you give 0 shits about fashion and just want to get over dressing yourself in the morning as easy and quickly as possible. So I don't understand why capsule wardrobes are a much discussed topic in this thread.

Anons, can you help me find some style of jeans/trousers that will suit me? I’m pretty sure I’m a pear shape since my bottom half is bigger than the top. Now the problem I have is, that any style of trousers/jeans I wear bunches up around the knees because of my big calves. I found that something like chinos are the worst because of their light fabric and I’m really self conscious about wearing skirts or dresses. Could a tailor do something about it? Do you have any recommendations for brands or a certain style of jeans? Any help is appreciated!

>>174474I feel like you could get some womens swim trunks and wear them over a one piece if you wanted something more sporty and functional-looking. Swimdresses are a thing though if that's more your style! The only problem is that obviously the skirt portion would lift up when you get in the water, so it depends on how thoroughly you want the scar to be covered and whether or not you'll be getting into the actual water much. Picrel is just as example, I've seen some swimdresses with longer skirts.

>>174870I learned the very very basics in high school. But not a lot. Let’s just say I had to relearn everything.
So I hope this info I have found will find you well.
YouTube helped so much. Seriously, it would be such a struggle without it. Here are some of my favorite sewing instructors on YouTubers:
Threads sewing
Evelyn Wood
Professor Pincushion
There’s many free sewing books to check out on archive.org. My recommendations are the Singer sewing reference library series. They’re pretty dated but the information is still really good and super helpful. Basically just search sewing in all books/texts.
Here are some places that I buy extremely inexpensive but exceptional quality fabric or notions:
https://www.wawak.com/ - notions and supplies
https://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/https://www.fabricwholesaledirect.com/https://fabriclore.com/ -from India. I’ve done the math. Buy purchasing around $USD100 it approximately makes each item regardless of yardage around or under $5. Figure it out by cart total ÷ total number of items. So, even though it’s $20 shipping it’s still worth it because you’re still getting a better deal than most other places.
https://www.dharmatrading.com/fabric/fabric-from-dharma-trading-co.html -best prices on silk. I don’t dye fabric so I buy their colored silk.
https://buttonsgaloreandmore.com/ -buttons are cool. These are bulk buttons that can be used for sewing or craft projects.
https://www.mjtrim.com/https://www.pacifictrimming.com/https://laceheaven.com/ -lace is sexy idc what you say.
Finally, skirts are the best starting point.
I hope you find any of this helpful. Sorry for the blogpost.
Happy sewing, anons.

Why do I look like a clown in floral patterns, and what to do about it if I want to go for a kinda romantic sundress look? I love solid colour dresses, esp dark ones, and look absolutely bomb in horizontal stripes, but honestly it gets boring and I crave some botanical vibes.
I have a wide af jaw and my face has been called "severe" lol, I look a lot like a dirt blonde younger Miranda Otto (not Eowyn young unfortunately). I'm wide-shouldered but hourglassy so everything has to be pretty fitted, height is 5'6, Kibbe type is all over the place but dramatic classic is the closest probably.
I recently got pic rel and it works okay, it may just be my lack of confidence wrt florals but something still feels a bit off. Wat do? How much does it depend on the size of the floral pattern, right colour combo, and styling, or do I just need to accept that I'll always look like an evil career stepmom with no chill or interest in plants?

>>174913I’m not sure if it’s a set-in-stone rule, but for ladies with more bold classic features, I like to see them in smallish, well spaced florals like picrel. Something about a classic woman in those big bulky florals tends to lean a little intense or soccer mom-ish.

>>174877>>174859this, I would like a wideleg black or darkgray/darkblue jeans or trousers with those, the top could be black/white as anon said but I think also any beige-brown-tan color would be cute for the top. I'd like a more serious top like a buttonup or thick-ribbed fitted sweater to balance with the slightly wild shoes. I think a fringed suede jacket would be a nice extra since itd give you a real woman-cattleman kinda vibe but not on the nose, and you could take off the jacket if you didn't want to go full cowboy. More broadly I like the idea of taking a cowboy-boots-casual type of outfit and wearing these instead of the boots.
Pretty jealous actually because several years ago at a thrift store I passed on a pair of mule clogs with cowhide like that (it was real…very nice feel) cause they were a whole $20…big regret

>>175576I don't have a specific percentage in mind. If I need something, I buy it. If I want something and I can justify it by it's price, quality and how much wear I expect to get out of it, I buy it. There's a difference between needing and wanting.
As for adding new pieces to my warderobe, I go shopping for the sake of really getting clothes twice a year, once for spring/summer and once for autumn/winter. Beforehand I inventarise what I have and what's missing for the new season so I can get it on my shopping trip. Usually I buy 1 to 3 new outfits or a few single pieces. The rest of the year I do a lot of online window-shopping because I find that enjoyable and I occasionally order something if I want it and can justify it.
This sounds kind of excessive but I actually spend way less on clothes than most other people I know. (This is my perspective as a student though, I don't have a full-time wage)
>because I've never really entertained the idea of spending more than $20 on a shirtAnd you don't have to if you don't want to. But if you want to buy more pieces than the bare minimum to dress yourself in your day to day life, then I think it's important to remember that's a different mindset of buying clothes. If you then buy, let's say a 40 dollar t-shirt, you didn't buy it because you NEEDED something to dress your torso in, you buy it for your enjoyment and satisfaction you'll get out of wearing that t-shirt. And it's okay to spend money on that if you can afford it. People spend money on hobbies and other luxuries all the time, this is the same. For example, I bought a beautiful summerdress last week for about 60 euro. I didn't NEED it, I have enough clothes and dresses to dress myself in this summer, but I wanted it because it was beautiful and fit my style perfectly. I justified buying it because I had the room in my budget to spend that money on it, I knew I am going to get a lot of wear out of it and I knew I am going to get a lot of enjoyment out of it. So it was worth it to buy for me. I hope that makes sense lol.

No. 175637
>>175576Generally I save money by buying out of season and personalizing them myself, since I also used to feel weird about it.
How I usually spend is once a month or so I just window shop and only pick up pieces that speak to me AND are cohesive with my established style. It has to be both. Then I wait until a sale and buy it. I don't go on big trips, just one or two items once in a while. It takes longer to build a wardrobe this way but after a year and a half I've switched over to something I'm pretty comfortable with.
Budget-wise it's the same as going on a big trip 2-3 times a year, but psychologically I feel better about not spending over $100 on one transaction. So that may work for you, too!

I'm in the market for a practical (preferably black) backpack that also doesn't look awful.
So, I've been into fashion for a long while now but for some reason bags just don't interest me at all. That means I've just been using an ugly worn down backpack like pic related for way too long and I want something that looks nicer. I'm done with having to pair good outfits with a bag that screams "autistic kid with velcro shoes".

a capsule wardrobe is about having limited pieces in your wardrobe which you can easily match. if you invest in just a few neutrals, you can add staple pieces for extra pop and personal style. also, you can easily buy clothes second hand which is affordable and especially nowadays has so much to offer.

Anyways to get back on track with fashion talk, I bought a pair of trousers similar to this, and I want to insert a long zipper along the length of each leg in the front. I would like to be able to zip the legs open or close them. But I'm afraid of ruining the pants since they look pretty good and dressy and I don't know if my idea would look fine or a complete mess. Do you think I should do it?

Anyone who dresses like this hates themselves. This looks like the fit I would wear in a 6th grade middle school field trip, why do women dress in this immature style again? Is this mock punk or something? I’m genuinely confused what is the point of this?
No. 176323
>>176315it's extremely juvenile because every piece is juvenile. Even though I personally like none of these pieces, the pieces themselves could each be a part of a much better outfit if they balanced them out with more mature pieces (except the tights, those are seriously ugly). For example, wearing a graphic top with flared or bootcut jeans and heeled boots. Wearing the denim skirt with a long-sleeved flowy blouse and strappy block heels.
Also, that length skirt with patterned tights and flat shoes is a combo to avoid on everyone - it makes your legs look extremely short and throws off your proportions.

Any anons experience discomfort dressing any way but "juvenile" like
>>176315 picrel? Trust me I don't dress that way anymore, but I did for a bit after high school. Now I still struggle to dress myself well. Usually still end up in a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.
Maybe it's my lack of confidence but I would feel super out of place in mature outfits like
>>176323 described. I'm early 20s and I'm 5'8" so I generally avoid heels because I'm taller than most girls I meet. How do you dress mature without a) feeling like a poser because you're still pretty childish and insecure and b) wearing heels because you're kinda tall?
I notice I put restrictions on my clothing a lot that might be arbitrary. Like no heels, clothes that hide this feature or that, etc. which makes it so difficult to have style. I guess I would like anons' opinions on that too if you please

>>176466Another childish early 20s tall anon here, you really don't have to dress mature. I went through a similar phase and decided I'll wear whatever I like until I get a real job with a proper dress code. I have way more confidence now to wear what I like than I did in high school and more money too so it's a win-win. You have your whole life ahead of you to dress mature. On the other hand I've started incorporating more structured coats into my wardrobe when I want to larp a business bitch look just for fun. You can throw them over a t-shirt/jeans/sneakers/tote bag for more of a streetwear vibe or wear with a turtleneck/boots/nice bag like in picrel for a more serious vibe.
About heels and height, I'm sorry anon you'll just have to get used to it. Tall women are beautiful, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

>>176473You can emphasize it so it looks intentional by wearing tops and outerwear with shoulder pads or try to balance it with flared skirts or wide leg pants. I know that big sweater with shorts over pantyhose is an outdated look but it works so well on us inverted triangles because it emphasizes your skinny legs and hides the boobs a bit. Wide leg jeans have been a life saver though, I found a pair that kind of goes out at the waist and it really helps to create the illusion of hips. Pair it with a tight fitting shirt for maximum effect. V necks look nice, picrel

1. trace where you want to put the seam with a pencil or tailor's chalk
2. fold the cloth and pin it in place
3. iron the folded-over seam

>>176707It really depends on what reformation stuff you mean. When you're first starting out, I don't recommend anything that requires really detailed, fitted seam work around the bust like picrel. Examples in picrel would be the breast cups and the seams that go down from the bust to the waistband; the pattern pieces have curved shapes and assembling them can be difficult for beginners.
>>176570 doesn't look hard to make at all, though! You could mix a few tutorials together to come up with a pattern for it. It's an especially easy project if you use a knit fabric, because then it'll have some stretch and be more forgiving. I recommend the Youtube channel withwendy for learning some of the basics!

Pic rel is just an idea off the top of my head.

I’m starting my wardrobe from scratch and I want to get rid of almost everything. Most of my clothing was bought new from around 10 years ago. That was the last time I was really into buying clothes. I still buy sometimes but I don’t get rid of much. Some of my oldest clothes are handmedowns originally bought around 2 decades ago and it’s not so much that I want to toss those especially, I just want to give a clear idea of how generally unchanged my closet has been and for how long.
If you were in my position, would you spend big bux on second hand brand imports from japan or would you spend more for your buck and buy local? I don’t want to amass a lot of clothing either, I want my wardrobe to be as minimized as possible. I don’t know how I can even successfully execute that when a lot of jfashion seems to strive on excess and having a variety of cords.
If it helps in making a decision, I’m trying to transition from almost an entire wardrobe of athleisure to peak youtube era dakota rose and egl for special occasions. I am fully aware of how retarded this makes me.

>>178759Yeah I’ll consider it further. I’m hoping though my conviction to stay in a certain lane for 10 years will translate to when my style functionally changes again. At least I don’t intend to lose interest in dressing either way any time soon. And I’m not spending anywhere close to the same amount of money I previously had on basics and athleisure on either 2 styles though, so the money part isn’t really an issue. I also am a shameless person when it comes to dressing how I want but I think I can get away with dressing like that in most day to day situations so that’s something I will consider. At work I have a uniform and I don’t plan on getting rid of staples (like an lbd, overcoat, black shoes etc.) so I think I will be fine enough in social settings. Thank you for your input, I’ll see what the consensus from farmers is before taking the plunge in either direction.

You don't like your clothes anymore. You have the opportunity to throw out almost everything. You're in the financial position to replace almost your entire wardrobe at once and don't mind doing so. You don't intend to lose interest in it any time soon. You're shameless when it comes to dressing how you want so you don't have to not do it because of what other people might think. Pretty much your entire situation is in favour of making the style change to Dakota Rose/egl. The only thing that isn't ideal is that you want your wardrobe to be as minimized as possible. I have to agree with you that I don't think a minimal closet on that style is very feasible. But if you want to dress like that then I think you can get over that one small obstacle. Idk the decision seems pretty easy from an outsider's perspective.

But if your in an area that has been locked down for most of 2020 and part of this year, in store is the way to go. Especially if they dont have great webstores.
My local retail stores were closed for a few months, and while their webstore sales werent anything special and over picked, if they had them… The in store stock wasnt packed up and returned to warehouse to be used for online shopping so basically everything was clearance.
Probably doesnt apply to the US but since the UK, Germany and etc have off and on lock downs Eu shoppers might ahve some luck.
My Uniqlo was only open a few months last year and still had some spring/summer clearance. Collabs that were long sold out online had pieces in store.
I also had the feeling some stores didnt mark their winter clearance yet though but we are back to being locked down.

It'd be really easy to just take out the stitches where the old straps are attached and stitch a thick piece of ribbon onto the dress instead. You can do regular straps as long as you measure it well, but you could also do two separate pieces of ribbon so you can tie them into a bow on your shoulder at the desired length, like pic related.

>>179500This is so cute!
>>179905God, normie jfashion really is so much cuter than normie western fashion.
>>181631I love them, and I'm a 30DD (so fairly small). Sometimes I've had sizing issues and your nips can show through t-shirts which is annoying, but they're still way more comfortable and practical than underwire bras. I will say though, when I was a bit chubbier, I felt like they kind of trapped sweat which was gross in hot weather.

Does anyone own/know where to buy this type of shoe?
This one sells for $38 on yesstyle and doesn't have any reviews so I'm kind of scared to order it, but I can't find anything else like it

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32909017591.html so probably not amazing quality.
Picrel is everlane's leather lace up flat, theres a pair for sale on poshmark if you're size 6.5, or if not that's something to search for anyway. Also found

To all my inverted triangles in here: Jennie from Blackpink has narrow hips (and is an inverted triangle imo) and is fairly short but manages to style herself really well with oversized/wide leg pants. I've noticed that her casual fashion since 2017ish is always involving a garment loose at the hips and that's why she looks so balanced–the hip area is always loose whether it's pants, shorts, or an A-line skirt. See picrel for a comparison. Stage outfits are irrelevant bc she wears hip pads for those.
So anyway I want to follow this strategy because I'm trying to build a capsule wardrobe myself. I'm wondering first of all, what rise I should get? I am petite and don't want my legs to look short but I also don't want a super tight fit around my hips. How can I find pants that are actually going to make my hips look wider? And any suggestions for tops? The last thing I want is to look bigger because my pants make my bottom half look wider. Ik she wears fitting tops but I need a bra bc of my sagging boobs and super cropped tops would look out of place in certain settings as a commoner/not a celebrity.

How would you guys style a dress like this? I feel like it could use a scarf but not sure about the color

>>182309It's like how black is slimming. Wearing light colors on one part of your body when the rest of the outfit is dark will make that part look bigger. imo, a flattering cut is more important than color though.
>>182194Maybe try tennis/circle skirts? And for pants, you can try out cropping them or just wear tall shoes.
Tbh, I don't think you should worry too much about having wide shoulders. I know that women are taught to feel insecure about everything, but wider shoulders are generally considered attractive because they make your waist look smaller. You might look perfectly nice if you just focus on showing off what you like about your body.

What shoes should I wear with pants like this? I am not the woman in the pic, and they fit a little more baggy on me.I'd like to avoid sandals or anything else that requires foot sunscreen.
>>176466I spent a ton of money when I was 21 on buying more "adult" clothes (I also owned very little up until that point) and honestly, don't worry too much. Get yourself at least one outfit that you'd wear to meet a bf's family for dinner, and one outfit you'd wear to a wedding. Go through you closet and make a not of any clothing you feel embarrassed to wear, and select a replacement. If you have clothes that make you feel good, keep them. I guess graphic tees do read very young, but if you love them just try styling them more intentionally.

>>182682Anon are these scrubs? I genuinely can't tell. If you're doing PT just wear any comfy sneakers, especially if you're outside. I promise that the kids don't care. I look like shit at work but at least I can move around. I do really like scrub pants that are cut like joggers, I feel like they're more flattering.

>>182724I have sparkly pants like picrel from H&M, except I think mine are more flared. The sparkle is subtle and looks like stars; I tend to get compliments on these pants. Maybe something like that + a top you like? I never wear open-toed shoes to an indoor club, personally. What about some kind of nicer ankle boot?

Because of my size I have a hard time finding pretty, stylish clothes, or even clothes in general so I mostly buy basic, sturdy clothes. I keep wearing the exact same things though because I get cold very fast and I'm sure everyone at my job has noticed this by now.
Just for reference, because I'm going to try to order more clothes and throw away what's too damaged to be worn anymore, how many clothing articles do you have or would you recommend? For example, how many pairs of trousers should I have minimum, or jackets, or blouses, etc.? How many handbags of different sizes should I also have? And more specifically, how many bras should I have and how often should I wear a new one? Asking about the bras because I'm really skinny and flat so actual bras my size don't exist and the only bralettes I really like are out of stock (the very basic, simple Savage Fenty ones). I'm also going to order shoes but since I don't need to wear formal outfits I'll just buy sneakers and maybe boots so I'm not too worried about that.

>>183050>anything else the same size will be way too big and just fall to my knees or anklesSo size down..?
But here's what I'm thinking for minimums as a broad outline, you may want to alter what I say here depending on what you need in your life and your taste in clothes.
jeans: at least 3, if not 5 so you can rotate your jeans throughout the week. This is assuming you prefer jeans over skirts or dresses.
tops: at least 5 ot 7 so you have one for each day of the (work)week. What type of tops (blouses, tshirts, sweaters etc.) depends on your style and lifestyle. Try to go for tops that you can combine with all of your 3-5 jeans so you're never out of something to wear them with.
jackets: 1 for outerwear and sorta optionally 1 versatile jacket for layering indoors. A denim or leather jacket works for many warderobes but again depends on your (life)style.
shoes: one pair of shoes that you can wear on a daily basis (for example, for me that's a pair of white sneakers). 1 pair of seasonal shoes like a pair of sandals, a pair of flipflops, a pair of boots is always good to have but don't get what you won't wear of course. One pair of shoes for formal events. Get more as you need it, i.e. need shoes for the office? Get a pair for that. Need shoes for clubbing? Get a pair for that etc.
bra(lettes): Have enough so you can wear a clean one everyday.
bags: 1 for everyday casual use and 1 for work or school (this could be combined as 1, i.e. I have one bag that I use everyday for things like running errands but it's also my bag for uni and it serves like 90% of my bag-needs). One for formal/evening wear. More as you need it, for example a clutch for going out or formal wear.
This is of course per season, if you have 5 short sleeve t-shirts as your tops that you can't wear during the winter you'll have to get more for the winter. You may need to add more to this depending on your lifestyle, if you like to go clubbing or datenights or whatever you'll need an outfit for that etc. As you can see I completely left out things like skirts and dresses, I could tell you to get at least 2 dresses but if you don't like dresses and never wear them there's no point in that. I wrote to get 3-5 pairs of jeans but if you're in a bussiness suit all week and jump into loungewear as soon as you get home, maybe you won't need that many as a minimum. So add or substract to this as you see fit for your life and style but I think this is a basic outline of a good base warderobe.
No. 183066
>>183062I thought it was obvious but I was already trying only the smallest sizes available from the brands available in my country. I can't "size down"
As for your advice, I think I'm in theory close to what you listed but I don't have a lot of warm tops for when it's cold while I have an easier time finding tops for warm seasons. There's some clothes I barely wear too these days because most of what I have is old and I need to get rid of my damaged clothes. I'll check online stores like Asos and see what they have.
No. 183165
>>183050This is super weird. I mean, if you're not trying to wear low-cut things, most tops are going to fit you better than they fit people with large chests.
If you're cold all day, layer a blazer or sweater over a dress shirt. You can get these at h&m or whatever stores don't vanity size.
There are some professional petite blogs out there; find one located in your country and follow the recommendations.
My best-looking professional clothes have been tailored anyway. It's often not expensive if you look for deals or ask about doing a few pieces at once. Chances are, you're not a literal skeleton so we're talking about taking up hems, taking in waists, and stuff like that. This is easy work for a tailor.

>>183129>>183130No idea what the trends are where you live or what you think a flat chest is (if you have a bra size and can wear bras you're not flat btw) but almost everything that's not extremely basic shows cleavage. I don't want to show my bare nipples to people at my job.
>>183165How long to tailors take to do this kind of stuff? I've been considering this but stores won't stop closing because of covid and I'm not sure when I'll be able to see a tailor and get my clothes back. I'd feel stupid if I let a tailor do anything to my clothes and they close before I get everything back.
No. 183190
>>183181I guess most of what I find that looks formal is low cut. Nothing vulgar though, but almost everything I can find that doesn't show any cleavage is very basic tshirts that don't look formal at all but are still appropriate in a very casual office setting
the kind of things that look like pajamas on me for some reason, and cute but inappropriate tops for an office setting, because they're either crop tops or show too much back. It's like there's no in-between over here, not talking about my size but in general.
>>183182>>183189I'll see what I can find in my city and compare prices in case tailors can work again in a few weeks.
No. 183215
>>183190OK, idk what your job is, but I wore dress shirts with buttons to my jobs often. These are considered business dress. They are not supposed to show any cleavage. You wear this with a sweater or blazer. You know, like a suit? Presumably you do not need to wear a whole suit to your job usually. But you can wear this top & blazer with a skirt or trousers or jeans for a more casual look.
I don't know what to say. I have a larger chest, which I hate. I never show cleavage at work or uni. It's not appropriate or professional.

>>183190You should use reference images to illustrate the problem and what you're looking for according to your lifestyle needs. Adding to what
>>183215 said, you should consider wrap-tie blouses, turtle-necks, knit blouses with statement collars, all of these look good on flat chests and are appropriate for professional environments. I'm also really petite and found that 50s-70s vintage clothing fit my frame more often than mall clothes. A lot of new styles are just reinterpretations of vintage fashion anyway so you can style it to look contemporary.
>>183041>how many clothing articles do you have or would you recommend? I like to buy different textiles and cuts so that I have at least a few interesting options for bottoms, tops and dresses to choose from for every scenario.

>>183266As a flattie, while I love being flat and not looking overly sexualized in a low cut top, I encounter low cut or feminine tops that are "empty" and have surplus fabric at the breasts area semi-regularly. It's not frequent enough for me to see it as a problem though.
I dress like
>>183231 said though so it's even a less of a problem for me, most of my shirts are turtlenecks. When I try to find cute tops and dresses for the summer that aren't shapeless I often have the problem of not being able to fill in the breast area.
I'm tall and average weight, but I still wear xs female tops so that they're tight enough. My arms are getting a bit chubby lately and I'll have no options once they start looking weird in xs tops with tighter sleeves, which is why I'm trying to tone them a bit but yeah
Like all other clothing, tops are made to fit average sized chests the best
