What the hell?

I want all these mid-length A-line skirts. Please post links if you find them!

But they're made of rubber.
I buy most household linens from Overstock.com because that shit's cheap and idgaf about brands or last season's colors and there is always some ding dong giving sheets one star because they come out of the dryer wrinkled. If wrinkled sheets are an issue for you in 2013, your opinion is irrelevant to me. My mom used to iron sheets and pillowcases (until she was sure I wasn't going to burn my hand off with the iron; then I got assigned that stupid task) and JEANS because she had fucked up priorities, just like those Overstock reviewers.
Anyway, on topic, I've had an eShakti dress bookmarked for a couple of months waiting for the right time to buy and it's out of stock now. Fucking tragic.

I need a-line stuff and how. Another issue: I am 5'3" and have ddd breasts, so normal cap and short sleeves make.my boobs look uncutely mammoth and matronly. Half and 3/4 sleeves balance them out, but it can be very hard to find good dresses with those sleeve-lengths. Also, nothing will button over those guys.

Anyone ever order from She Inside? I just made the discovery.
emilys: I have been coming across a lot of 3/4 sleeves but now can't remember. Will make a note. Been dress browsing all over the internet.

So I ordered a black and white polka dot dress and red shoes to wear to (an ilxor!) wedding. What color shawl and bag should I be going for?

i wanna say red accessories? but i think maybe i get a lil' too matchy-matchy so :/
― just1n3, Wednesday, 15 May 2013 05:45 (ten years ago) link
Was gonna say the exact same thing!
― kinder, Wednesday, 15 May 2013 07:16 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I'm thinking all red stuff would be too much red that's why I was thinking black and just leaving the shoes as the one pop of color?
― Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Wednesday, 15 May 2013 12:58 (ten years ago) link
OMG this is my dream dress: white pp collar, a-line, just perfect

What is this style of dress called?https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26827377/dress.JPGhttps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26827377/dress2.JPG
― ljubljana, Thursday, 23 May 2013 11:27 (ten years ago) link
whoops, sorry
drop waist iirc
― JuliaA, Thursday, 23 May 2013 12:17 (ten years ago) link
Oh, ok. I thought those were the ones where the dress is straight down and then there's a 'waist' below your actual waist?
― ljubljana, Thursday, 23 May 2013 14:49 (ten years ago) link
I...thought so too?
― lets just remember to blame the patriarchy for (in orbit), Thursday, 23 May 2013 15:04 (ten years ago) link
ljub, I don't know if that kind of dress has a particular name tbh. It's a fitted bodice with a natural waist and a box-pleated skirt, made of what looks like jersey or another soft fabric?
― lets just remember to blame the patriarchy for (in orbit), Thursday, 23 May 2013 15:06 (ten years ago) link
I hope that's you wearing it, because a) it looks like an extremely comfortable and useful dress and could be accessorized any which way, and b) the bedroom in the background looks so light and refreshing that I hope it's yours.
it looks like my gradeschool uniform jumper, which i always loved the shape of secretly even though i complained about wearing it every dayi have one that's kinda like that that i like to wear blouses underneath but i don't know what it's called either!
― free your spirit pig (La Lechera), Thursday, 23 May 2013 15:12 (ten years ago) link
Yes, it is me and my bedroom, which I do like very much! I love the shape and the versatility so will be scouring the internet for something similar. 'Box-pleated skirt', that's what I didn't know how to say.
― ljubljana, Thursday, 23 May 2013 15:24 (ten years ago) link
Love it!
― *tera, Thursday, 23 May 2013 15:44 (ten years ago) link
whatever it is, cute.
― JuliaA, Thursday, 23 May 2013 17:04 (ten years ago) link
orbit otm, it's just a natural waist. drop waist falls below the hips.

There are a lot if box pleated dresses on eshakti - I have a green and white gingham sleeveless one with a split neckline, and I just ordered a black one with a shirt style collar. They're also doing a big sale right now and size etc customizations are free!
― just1n3, Thursday, 23 May 2013 19:05 (ten years ago) link
Time to try them, then! FFM, I think you said the duty for Canadian import was variable?...
― ljubljana, Thursday, 23 May 2013 23:29 (ten years ago) link
It is! I'd try one at a time, bulk orders got me dinged with customs fees but I'd often sneak through if I'd only ordered one. Sometimes I didn't though! Can't say I exactly understand customs fees.

I just got this amazing nightgown mumu maxidress - http://www.evansusa.com/wcsstore/Evans/images/catalog/04J46NMUL_large.jpg
I was afraid it would be shapeless, but it's got some nice drape to it and if I put on a belt, I can even wear it to work. Also, it feels like a nightgown.
― carl agatha, Thursday, 23 May 2013 23:40 (ten years ago) link
Aww, that's cute. Bonus that its comfortable!
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 23 May 2013 23:40 (ten years ago) link
To be clear, it is not actually a nightgown. It's supposed to be a dress. It's just a very soft jersey knit. I probably could have gone a size down, but it's not bad enough that I'm going to ship this shit back to England.
― carl agatha, Thursday, 23 May 2013 23:41 (ten years ago) link
Could that dress be called a jumper? I would almost say shift, except I don't think shifts can have waists. xpost
― emilys., Friday, 24 May 2013 01:53 (ten years ago) link
I love those kinds of big flowery red/white patterns on black. Why don't I own any? It is a mystery.
― ljubljana, Friday, 24 May 2013 02:53 (ten years ago) link
First eshakti order placed, after approx two years of dithering and not ordering anything. Three dresses for $145 including shipping to Canada!
― ljubljana, Monday, 27 May 2013 02:51 (ten years ago) link
Yay! I hope you love them.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Monday, 27 May 2013 03:40 (ten years ago) link
Who knew that above-bust and across-bust measurements are basically the same? How is this possible?
― ljubljana, Monday, 27 May 2013 04:32 (ten years ago) link
They arrived! Two are great, fit perfectly; one is too long in the body so that the waistband sits wrong, and slightly too large on top in general. Have to decide whether to return it or get it altered.
― ljubljana, Saturday, 15 June 2013 00:29 (ten years ago) link
I wish it wasn't so hit and miss, because those two options are exactly what I encountered. Sometimes perfect, sometimes too big on top.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Saturday, 15 June 2013 00:30 (ten years ago) link
I got this dress over a year ago, it didn't fit, but I was too lazy to send it back to eShakti:

woo!
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 09:34 (ten years ago) link
It looks great!
All but one of my eshakti dresses are unwearable now because they attract too much dog hair (cotton(Cotton poplin sucks).
― just1n3, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 16:32 (ten years ago) link
It is a pet hair magnet.
FFM, you look lovely.
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 16:40 (ten years ago) link
Ugh, yes - those cotton dresses do attract everything going. This is some sort of plasticky fabric - takes a bit getting used to but everything slides right off, haha
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 20:49 (ten years ago) link
yeah cotton poplin is the devil's fabric
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 21:43 (ten years ago) link

FFM you look gorgeous
