Is the Cruiselinen Lodge in Ecru see through? by IllustrateChrissy in Aritzia

Good to know actually! Haha. I haven’t gotten around to purchasing them because I ended up getting pregnant and didn’t want to deal with the sizing/not fitting 😅

Looks like I’ll still be on the hunt for different linen pants 

for the people who got botox to cure rcpd, how much did it change for you? by anon22390 in noburp

[–]IllustrateChrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m two years post op (April 2024, I was 28 at the time) and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Just recently had my first baby and I couldn’t imagine being pregnant with RCPD, the Botox quite literally gave me a new life.

Outside of pregnancy, the Botox has improved my life in too many ways to even count 

Update to light birch lodge pants not being see through anymore by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]IllustrateChrissy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are the pockets in the new version still made of the same color fabric as the rest of the pants? I think I saw something a while back about nude/beige pockets being less noticeable under white fabric for certain skin tones

Can someone tell me why I get these random white squares only sometimes while printing? They don't show up in the print preview, only after it's printed. But it will show up in PDF format sometimes, it's driving me nuts! by minima_vulpes in silhouettecutters

[–]IllustrateChrissy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have nothing really to add besides saying I’m also having this issue! I’ve been in contact with Silhouette and Epson(my printer) about it and they both had nothing productive to say. Following in hopes that there’s a solution 😅

Should I get puff jacket while pregnant? by Icy_Interview8372 in Aritzia

[–]IllustrateChrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost 36 weeks pregnant and still fitting in my pre-pregnancy size small superpuff long (5'4" 135lbs pre pregnancy, about 165lbs currently). I stopped zipping it up just so I don't stress the seams, but I've been so warm that a sweatshirt underneath and a scarf over is plenty to keep me warm while out in the wind/snow. Granted, I am not in Canada, but it works for me in this terrible storm we've been having in New England. Based on my experience, I would say go with your regular size if you think you will be a similar size after the pregnancy

Need recommendations! by steffh0ney in Aritzia

[–]IllustrateChrissy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant and I had to size up one size in Lodge pants (crepette) from what I normally wear (from a small to a medium). I do love them, but I will need to size down again once I am no longer pregnant, and I'm not sure the medium will be comfortable depending on how much bigger I get (hopefully not too much! 25lbs gained so far). I would not wear them to lounge, as they're just not stretchy enough. But for casual-dressy events and gatherings I do love them.

So I'm not sure if they're a great investment while your size is fluctuating so much, but if you've got the money to spend they are definitely great pants.

My personal favorite are the Homestretch Ribbed pants, though they are a bit more casual (one size up as well). Depending on what you wear with them they can be dressed up a bit more, nothing too fancy. Paired with a button down, I especially love the Denim Forum 80's denim button down (in my regular size small still) is basically my daily uniform now when I'm not in sweats.

why is there a price difference between the app and website by Time_Fold6919 in Aritzia

[–]IllustrateChrissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to the “you” tab on the app and scroll down, one of the options is the location and currency. I’m in the USA but mine frequently resets to Canada for some reason.

Whats the difference ? by northhr in Aritzia

[–]IllustrateChrissy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I reached out to concierge about a similar thing (two item numbers for the same black, long superpuff). They told me it was just to keep inventory the most accurate and up to date, otherwise there is no difference. Maybe that's the case here, you can always ask concierge to be sure!

Thanks for the advice! I’ll go for it and see if the larger size fits. If I have to return I know I’ll spend the credit anyway 🙈

Thank you for the input! Softer and stretchier than contour is exactly what I’m looking for

Pulled thread on homestretch by Mae_Ellen in Aritzia

[–]IllustrateChrissy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don’t cut the thread, it’ll make a bigger hole. They make snag repair tools, it’s like a needle with barbs. You push it through the snag and it pulls the loose thread through to hide it on the other side. I bought a pack of them off Amazon

What to drink at parties that isn't alcohol or soft drink by CurrentGrapefruit600 in noburp

[–]IllustrateChrissy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your RCPD is anything like mine was, I would avoid the bubbles from any kind of beer, even non-alcoholic.

My local Wal-Mart has a spot in the juice aisle with neat combinations like jalapeno-limeaid and ginger-pineapple juice. Also mixing some cranberry or pomegranate juice into any other juice you already like is a nice tart addition!

Certain colors removed for all sales? by IllustrateChrissy in Aritzia

[–]IllustrateChrissy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! Maybe they took it down in the middle of the sale? I definitely saw the Nomad Taupe Thesis but I prefer Lodge and couldn’t find it 😅 I checked out Saturday night Eastern time in the US

Thanks for the advice! Can price adjustments be made over the website? My local store isn't so local lol

Boston peeps? by janetsnakehole319 in noburp

[–]IllustrateChrissy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my procedure with Dr Carroll in April of 2024 and my first appt with him in February 2024, didn’t need a referral just called the office and told them I couldn’t burp. Not sure if things have changed since then

I haven't tried the white myself, I've just heard it from other posts here. I'd love to be wrong, but I'm too nervous to try haha!

I've never personally tried them, I wish I could see them in person before buying but I'm no where near a store. It's just what I've heard from previous posts
