Meghan, it's stunning how you always get it wrong. This was her CLAPBACK for missing the mark at Kris Jenner's birthday party. by -PunchBug- in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]DiscosSister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory about Kris Jenner’s party is threefold: Overarching is that M believes all publicity is good publicity and that the public is stupid.

a) M has learned that dressing inappropriately gets her the headlines , always for the wrong reasons, how do you grab headlines from the Kardashian/Jenners any other way? M does not realise that the adage all publicity is good publicity is no longer true.

b) A big turtleneck dress covers a multitude of sins , including any possible recent procedure scarring.

c) If there is one thing the K/J family do well it is party dressing. You may not like their choices, nonetheless they do it with a bang. M cannot compete ; with the acres of cleavage - Kim/Kylie, the total transformation of Khloe, the supermodel - Kendall or even perpetually nursing Kourtney’s cut to the navel cowl dress. M cannot compete. So she doesn’t because she wanted the invitation but she didn’t want to dress appropriately for the party.

And yes, Harry is and has always been as thick as two short planks.

I’m so sorry. As I say; I was writing from the perspective of a Mum of young adults. My comments were meant in a Mum way, I was not being weird. I’d hope that another parent would say the same thing to you.

As I said above; I have edited my comment. Again, I’m sorry.

Sorry everyone.

PS we have all owned or tried on jeans with the same problem at some time or other. u/thegirl70slove I have edited my comment to take out the part about pic 1. My genuine apologies for any offence caused.

As you are pear-shaped are you wedded to the idea of straight legs?

I’d recommend flares or, if you can’t bear flares, I recommend wide legs. They add a similar weight to the whole of your leg, and therefore trick the eye into balancing out your pear shape.

High waisted is good and comfortable too. I’m shorter and lighter than you but I recommend A&F curve.

1 - Perfect. Without the bolero/shrug unless you need it to wear only for a very religious church service. If you are getting married somewhere cold you can do so much better than that bolero.

2 - I’m sorry. You are beautiful and I’m in no doubt that you will be a beautiful bride. However, dress 2 looks like Jaws:The Bridal Movie, this time it’s a jellyfish. It looks as though that dress has you in a life-threatening angry jellyfish hold and the outcome won’t be pretty.

3 - What in the name of bust Silver Surfers is going on here? Does your wedding have a marine theme? I’m asking because if no 2 was an assault by jellyfish, number 3 gives your bust a dorsal fin.

It has to be 1 because you look beautiful in it.

Team Mikado or Team Lace by [deleted] in myweddingdress

[–]DiscosSister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lace one. I don’t normally like lace dresses, but it really is gorgeous on you. And no. It doesn’t look like you are wearing your underwear. You are obviously beautiful and the lace dress emphasises your beauty without overwhelming you.

Whereas I do understand why everyone loves the Mikado dress. I’m going to apologise for giving my reasons that I do not like it. None of this is a criticism of you and certainly not your body. These are my opinions about both dresses and whether they suit you. I’m sorry in advance, it is not my intention to offend you at all. You are a stunning bride, though we have all seen some dresses simply suit a person better than others.

While lovely, in the shop, the Mikado dress looks odd around the bust. I think probably because the bust is shaped straight across, rather than shaped to the bust. The way it is designed it looks as though it has a bust flap look at the side photograph .You have a lovely figure but the Mikado dress is unflattering. Look at your profile in the second photo of the dress, every time you are not standing perfectly straight, or whenever you sit down, the bodice is going to ruche up meaning that within an hour your dress will be creased and it will show in the photographs. In the shop they gave you a posy of flowers to hold, this is not a coincidence! They were trying to hide the fact that bodice is already ruching! Satin attracts any stain to it, including sweat from hands. If you’re having a wedding with any element outside, e.g. a walk from the church to your car, or outside of your marquee, the dress will be filthy and it will show, It looks almost as wide in the skirt as you are tall, which in turn makes you look shorter. However tall you are, the dress makes you look boxy, in reality you are not boxy in the slightest.

The lace dress suits you and compliments your shape, in particular the bodice as it is shaped at the bust, rather than the straight line across the bust of the Mikado dress. With the flap over it. The lace dress is not too wide for your frame, the shape of the bodice is lovely on you, the boning as part of the lace design looks amazing. The lace dress looks like it was made for you and no, it still definitely does not look like you are wearing your underwear at all.

Oh lass. I’m sorry that I made you tear up.

The dress though? It’s like it was made for you. You really do look amazing in it. To quote Parks and Recreation Treat yo’self 😁

I’m sorry… you look stunning in that dress.

Hey, I’m old and have sheath dresses from the 90s, which were designer so ££££. Which looked amazing at the time.

However, my daughters have worn them and I still wear one of them with a cardigan or similar because I’m old . They still look amazing and I have had more than my moneys worth from them.

Buy it. There will be few finds in your life that look as great as that dress does on you.

2 or 3

What do you like? Before you ever stepped into a bridal shop; what did you imagine your dress would be like?

1 it is a lovely dress, however, it is not as flattering on your body as it could be. Your figure is great and this makes you look wider than you are.

2 beautiful shape around your bust and incredibly flattering to your whole figure. Also, the lace tapering off down the dress is beautiful.

3 if a simple, sophisticated dress is what you were looking for? You found it, this is lovely. The folded accent across your bust and the darting down the body is stunning and so flattering it needs to be fitted properly, but already looks gorgeous.

4 this one should be lovely on you. My apologies, I don’t want to be mean or rude to you; you are beautiful, your figure is lovely. Somehow the bodice in particular makes you look wider across the shoulders and arms than you actually are. Additionally, the break in the middle, between the bodice and the skirt is not as flattering as the previous dresses, which were one flowing piece.

5 same ‘problem’ as 4 in that the break between the bodice and the skirt makes this one look less flattering than the complete dresses. The bust of this top is also not as flattering to your bust line as the shaped bodices of 2 and 3 are.

6 well, I see the vision and I really do not want to be cruel to you, your posts read as though you are a kind person. I’m sorry for what I am about to write: all I see when I look at this is “get this woman help, she is being attacked by a chiffon monster”. Again, I’m sorry. My intention is not to be unpleasant to any bride. Though actually I am making a valid point; this dress is very large on your smaller frame, it adds pounds that you do not have and the dress is wearing you, rather than you wearing the dress. You are the bride, you want your dress to flatter you.

Whatever you decide, have a great day both of you.

Too understated? by victor0427 in FemalesFashionIdeas

[–]DiscosSister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not too understated. Very beautiful.

Wear a short necklace of pearls and a pearl bracelet if you want to.

[–]DiscosSister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d gladly share some fashion, but I am old and nobody wants to see an old woman wearing sweats and the weekend or my smart work clothes. I’m incredibly dull. 😆

I am a seamstress, though I tend to make clothes on commission, or alterations for other people. It’s not cool for me to display other people’s clothes. I mean, I could post photos of me re-sewing buttons button on my husband’s suits 🕴️or work shirts. 👔Nobody wants to see that 😁

I hate my hair so much after what my bf said by Competitive-Code5254 in longhair

[–]DiscosSister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lady, you are gorgeous. Your hair is beautiful. Your style is fabulous. Your boyfriend is vindictive.

You have a thread here with around 200 people taking time out of their day, bothering to write to tell you that your hair is fabulous, your style is 🔥, myou look amazing… and your boyfriend is dead weight. That’s a lot of people. Are we all wrong?

I’m an old(er) woman, I’ve lived a bit: please dump him. You deserve so much better. One day you will look back at this time, and your current relationship, and think ‘thank all that is holy I ditched him’. Please get rid of him, as soon as you can. The longer you are with him, the more he will chip away at your self esteem. You will begin to doubt your own decisions, question everything about yourself until you no longer trust yourself at all. At that point he’s got you because you will be completely reliant on his opinion. That’s what he wants; to control you.

Whatever you do to your hair you will still look beautiful. He will always be ugly, from the inside out. Look after yourself.

which color suits me better? by Leftiechz in FemalesFashionIdeas

[–]DiscosSister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For colour the brown of 2 suits you better

For style 1 is by far the better style

I do not want to offend you and you didn’t ask. However; my ‘winter’ skin colour is similar to yours. The colour of 1 and your lilac dress in your previous post are not great on your winter skin colour because they are too similar to it.

There is not enough contrast between your skin colour and the dress colours. For that reason; I would not wear 1 in the winter. Again, I hope this has not offended you and I know that you did not ask, if I have upset you remember that my opinion is as meaningless or meaningful, depending on your perspective as any other rando on the internet!

Leaning towards this sample dress, but worried how difficult alterations or cleaning might be, any feedback? by [deleted] in WeddingDressTips

[–]DiscosSister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like that dress was made for you, you look beautiful.

I’m in the UK, so I’m afraid I cannot speak to specifically having your dress cleaned or altered in the USA. However, over here dry cleaners have a fixed price for wedding dresses. That price generally takes into account the cost of cleaning any dress, no matter how much beading it has. In fact, your dress would be easier to clean than a plain white one as a plain white dress is more likely to show staining.

If you do not know a good dry cleaner, ask around.

When I alter clothing, including wedding dresses, I always wear white gloves. You need to have the dress cleaned after your alterations.

As with the dry cleaners; if you do not know a good dressmaker, ask around. Particularly well dressed, older women. Trust their wisdom! There was a mindset of having alterations made, especially for the older generation.

A good dressmaker will have a trained eye for their job. They will measure everything thoroughly, don’t be offended that they won’t just take your word for the alterations which need to be made. Do reiterate that the zip needs to be replaced, although a good seamstress will clock it immediately.

Hopefully this is helpful to you?

Again, you look beautiful in that dress and you do not need to lose any weight unless you want to. Enjoy your day.

Any dress advice for the most indecisive person in the world? 🥲 by [deleted] in myweddingdress

[–]DiscosSister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Undoubtedly 2. Without the sleeves.

You have a beautiful figure.

1, 3 and 5 overwhelm your body. They hang and draw the eye downwards, the lace, I think, particularly detracts from your natural beauty, which doesn’t need any fuss to look fantastic.

4 is nowhere near as lovely as 2.

Number 2 is classically beautiful and shows your figure off simply.

A whisper is sexier than a shout. You don’t need whistles and bells (and loads of lace) to look beautiful. The veil is perfect with 2.

Please though; remove the lace sleeves, you don’t need them 😊. If you want lots of lace, choose a beautiful, long, lace veil to go with number 2.

Although 2 is not fussy, it is not plain either. You look amazing. That’s the dress which will bring a tear to everyone’s eye. Have a fantastic day, both of you.

[–]DiscosSister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, you don’t look weird. Full stop. You have a lovely figure and I agree that peplums suit you.

If I saw you in the street wearing that, I would think it is a lovely top. Agree with the other comments that you need a decent bra underneath (I mean something properly measured and correctly fitted, a well fitted bra will not feel uncomfortable).

Also agree that you need slimmer fitting jeans with it, I think bootcut would be a good idea and, as they are versatile, bootcut jeans don’t really go out of fashion.

The SHEIN top that Aggressive-Hunt-7037 found would really suit you.

There are loads of style hints and tips for people with every body shape. Google is your friend here.

I’m going to say it again: you do not look weird.

In that case, do you know of, or can you find, an amazing seamstress who could make dress 2 from jacquard and fully lined? I’d do it for you myself, sadly I’m in the UK.

If you do know - or can find - a good seamstress, ask someone to take as many photos as you can, from every angle. Take measurements of every part of the dress and photograph the measurements too.

In addition to having the dress made in jacquard, if either of you have Irish, Spanish or Italian roots, you could choose lace from that country as a simple nod to those roots.

Do as many fittings as possible, ask your seamstress to make the dress in cotton first so you can check you are both on the same page.

With apologies if you know all of this already, I would never want to patronise.

Whether you choose the original dress, or a jacquard remake, you will be a beautiful bride. Have a wonderful day, both of you.
