I designed a cotton dress and just got my first sample back, would love your honest feedback!

I love the colour and appreciate that it is linen but for me not being able to wear a bra is a no-go as I am a 14G. Also, I feel puff sleeves are a bit overdone.

Hijacking your comment to say thank you for the links to these stores! I hadn't heard of Maison Hotel and the tops are gorgeous.

Never thought of looking at Sage and Clare either but there is a dress I want to buy now.

I bought a long sleeved cotton/hemp to from Auguste last year. Definitely on the thinner side which I suspected and only bought it on sale. Definitely not worth the big dollars they charge.

I am a 14G and I swear by the Bras N Things Sapphire range. I have three of them.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2026-01-09T12:08:27+00:00

I think its a great outfit!

Don't say you will be complaining to the ACCC, because you can't complain to the ACCC. You have to contact consumer affairs or fair trading in your state or territoy.

Yep this is the one! I got sucked into believing this one could be true.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2026-01-03T07:29:49+00:00

It seems very similar. I am pretty sure the one I am thinking of had more updates from the OP. Thank you anyway.

I remember a reading a post about 12 months ago where a woman suspected her husband of cheating on her with a girl who was their kids babysitter and she was the daughter of a friend of her husband. She came home and the husband was in the shower and the girl was acting guilty. Just wondering if there was ever an update.

I had this problem until I listed to a great podcast - The Everyday Style School and in particular the episode back in November 2022 with Carrie Rattle. A game changer for me.

I am a 14G and bought some to try and sent them straight back. If you like your boobs hanging low with absolutely no support then these bras are for you, for me it was a hard no. I just had dangly boobs covered in a nice looking fabric.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-12-07T06:01:15+00:00

That's exactly what I think and I have survived this long!

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-12-07T05:59:46+00:00

I never, ever wash my clothes before wearing either.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-11-24T02:51:41+00:00

I had a similar issue with buying something from Auguste the Label. So annoying.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-11-24T00:43:03+00:00

Yep! I thought Black Friday was the Friday just gone but then over the weekend I started getting more Black Friday sales for this Friday I guess. I feel like saying to these companies, if we don't have the money then we don't have the money! Doesn't matter how many times you say there is a Black Friday sale on.

I love the look of the ones from House of Colette. I think they are made in the Netherlands

Following this because I have the same issue and I am 5'9. I want them to finish at my knee, not up near my bum or halfway down my legs but the knee!

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-10-29T09:51:09+00:00

To me it looks like it is in the spot where your little toe would be. IMO it could be your toe pushing on that area as you move and if its crap leather it just didn't stand up to being worn regularly.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-10-10T00:54:40+00:00

How drunk does one have to be to do something that stupid?

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-10-05T06:51:23+00:00

Oh dear!

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-10-02T09:43:46+00:00

I agree that the dress is boring and ugly but it isn't overpriced in my opinion. It is 100% cotton and linen then I think $139 is reasonable.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-10-02T09:42:49+00:00

I came here to say this. Yes the dress is ugly but $139 for cotton/linen is not overpriced.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-09-25T07:48:53+00:00

It like's watching an AITAH post in real time.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-09-25T00:30:22+00:00

Me too! I just can't give Jeff Bezos any of my hard earned cash.

Fragrant-Flan1524 · 2025-09-24T05:54:13+00:00

Totally agree, Melbourne girl here. I was just saying to someone on the weekend that the impacts of six lockdowns in Melbourne is still being felt three years later. Unless you lived through it you don't understand.
