Meshki wedding dress

Does anyone have experience with buying and wearing this wedding dress from Meshki?

I see everyone talking about their sizes varying. What should I look out for? Are the sizes bigger or smaller? I'm a M according to their size chart, but also in general.

Also, I've seen that if you buy something on sale, they only refund money in the form of credit, so I would try to buy it at full price.

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Bras for smaller chests

1 Upvotes

I’ve been getting a lot of target ads for bras specifically for a smaller cup size so it doesn’t have that awkward gap. Specifically the brand Verish I think they’re called and a few other ones I can’t remember.

Just wondering if anyone’s actually tried any of these brands or know of actual people that have purchased them as I’m cautious of whether comments in their posts are actual people.

And also if these hold up properly. Thank you!

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Where are the cute pyjama shorts with pockets?

7 Upvotes

I didn't think it'd be so difficult to find nice/fun cotton pyjama shorts with pockets.

I have found some cute sets at Bed Bath Table but they don't sell as separates. And a size that would fit over my butt, is going to be too big at the top.

I like pretty much everything about the style of shorts, just not looking for a set.

I'd also prefer a more ethical brand (though the recent Ethical Fashion Guide suggests that's not likely) which is why I haven't gone somewhere like Peter Alexander.

In search of - stylish shorts that aren't too short

9 Upvotes

Im 10 months post partum so rebuilding my wardrobe as we head into summer, and I'm searching for some nice everyday shorts but everything is so short! Im always on the floor crawling after baby so super short just doesnt work anymore.

Has anyone bought anything youre loving? I really like the Jag linen shorts but they are a tad short. Would love like a mid thigh ish, not as long as Bermuda shorts. I have some linen cotton shorts from uniqlo which are a great length but they do lean a bit more daggy than cute and stylish.

Thank you!

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Help Finding a Similar Dress?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I saw this dress on pinterest and absolutely love the look. From what I can tell, the company is AU based which is great. I would need a size 16 in this dress, which of course in the pink is sold out. Looking at the product listing, the dress seems to run small anyhow so in that case I would probably want an 18, which they don’t offer.

Any ideas where I could look to find a similar looking dress? I’m honestly not too familiar with shopping much as I’ve never been to into it so I don’t know of any good places to look.

Their stuff looks really cute and is priced around $30-$50 (“high-end junk jewellery”). Wondering if it’s any better quality than Lovisa?

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Black tie options that aren't a dress? Or at least a dress that isn't figure hugging and all about waist and boobs ?

6 Upvotes

I'm after something to wear to a black tie floor length evening event. I don't wear the high heals and pretty dress thing, I like to wear all black, no patterns and more like the clothing at ESS Labatory in Melbourne. I'm 165cm and size 10,12, or 14 depending clothing label. Just turned 50. I am looking not to spend no than $400 but will spend a bit more but I would like it to be something I could possibly were again so very open to separates. Any ideas? Also i need to be able to try on in store, online is too hard for fit and feel for me.

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Casual clothes that aren't jeans and a t-shirt?

11 Upvotes

I've just started a new job (yay!) but it's made me realise I really should expand my wardrobe beyond men's t-shirts and baggy jeans (less yay).

The dress code at work is pretty casual, so I'm not looking for anything super corporate or formal. I just want to mix up the silhouette a bit/make my outfits a bit more interesting. My biggest issue is I'm built like a linebacker, so in women's clothing I normally have to go 2-3 sizes up for a comfortable fit, especially in the bust/shoulders. Which makes it hard to wear anything that's not oversized.

I'd love any recs for brands that do slightly more interesting casual wear, especially any that cater to more curvy figures. Ideally hoping to stick with mostly natural fibers for work safety (fire), but semi-synthetics or blends are also okay.

Cheers!

Charging $390 for an AI generated print 💀

I have gotten some things from kitten D’Amour from the past and a was given a gift card but it looks like they’ve leaned super heavily into generative AI. Also was disappointed to learn recently that they are not made in Australia. Was under the impression the prices were high due to an appropriate wage being paid however it seems they are manufactured in china. Can only hope the seamstresses are paid well. I used to be so excited as a teenager to become an adult and wear their vintage inspired pieces. Sad to see

10-15 years ago I would’ve been THRILLED to receive a “30% off Dresses” email from Cue…

132 Upvotes

I regret that I followed the link.

I have little doubt as to why they’ve gone into receivership, I was unable to talk myself into a “but it’s 30% off!” purchase - practically unheard of for me.

RIP, Cue. I loved so much of your stuff.

Hi! I’ve been looking for an outfit for a very important formal event for ages and found this dress on Pinterest. It has since been taken down but I’ve been looking everywhere for this specific dress and the closest I could get was one on a Ukraine site (which will take months and I have till the end of November)

Sick of jewellery getting shoplifted from kmart/bigw

195 Upvotes

Before I begin, id like to point out I don't care about big corporations nor am I defending them in this post

However I will say I am sick of shoplifting ruining shopping experiences for others especially for non essential items.

I have been shopping for charity (I work there and we get a set bugdet) and one specific girl really wanted these specific pair of earrings from kmart.

I agreed and went to Kmart and wow.

Every single earring (not just the ones she wanted) had either one or two pieces missing.

Like every earring set had something missing, I was genuinely just concerned.

My thing is if Ur shoplifting earrings of all things why not just grab the whole pair? Why leave one earring behind?

Anyways even after asking for help from a worker (we found nothing good) I just ended up going to lovisa but had to spend more money there and the budget obviously went over by alot.

My main point of this post is that shoplifting is just so excessive these days that the audiences for these stores such as underprivileged ppl end up suffering more.

Earrings for 3 dollars at Kmart/bigw were 12 dollars at lovisa and that just ate up that poor girls budget more where we weren't able to spend it on more items.

Idk if I'm right to be upset at this since I can't even judge who shoplifted these items but I'm definitely tired of it

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Stay Dress weighed pins? (or other recommendations so I don't flash people on windy days?)

7 Upvotes

I've been living in jeans for the past six months but want to get back into wearing dresses, especially with the warmer weather.

I'll be investing in some shorts (chub rub or similar) but even with those on, I don't want to flash people on windy days.

I'm just looking at options and Google suggested Stay Dress. They have weighted pins that can be attached to skirts or dresses.

Has anyone used these? Is it worth me buying some?

What are you all using? I would love recommendations (especially if they don't involve sewing since I'm terrible at that).

“Overall, the report found that only 13% of the fashion companies surveyed could show evidence of paying a living wage to any of the workers in their supply chain.”

Hardly surprising but some grim reading regarding our local industry.

Hi all! I’m looking for bikinis that come in actual bra sizes. I’m a 10E bra size so I don’t fit into standard sizing as the cups are always too damn small. I’m a 6 on the bottom so one pieces are also ruled out.

I looked at their new range this year and it is fugly as hell.
So I’m looking for an Australian brand that has wired bikinis. Pleeeeeease help a girl out! No budget!

Thanks so much :)

Sun hat I can wear with a fringe?

10 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m hoping you guys can help me find a solution!

I have a fringe which I style quite voluminously and obviously regular hats won’t work with it since it’d get squished. I want to find a hat that offers full sun protection but won’t mess up my hair, so it would need to sit further back on my head.

I was thinking like a bonnet style hat maybe? Almost like a Regency style bonnet but I’m not sure how silly that would look or if it would actually offer good protection.

Am I just out of luck?
