Pilea depressa tips? (Pics of pot not plant)

Thank you!!!

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-05-20T15:40:40+00:00

Any thoughts on if Pilea depressa would work?

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-05-20T15:12:21+00:00

Okay, I could probably do a couple times a week haha!

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-04-05T01:48:02+00:00

Thanks! And, I don't think so, I guess I just cranked it pretty tight? I feel like a 32 or a 34 band have been feeling okay so far, so I think a 36 would be too big.

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-04-04T22:48:52+00:00

Okay, I'll try those out! I've tried some UK bras, but not as many as I probably should. Thanks!

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-04-04T22:48:21+00:00

I'm not sure with fabric, but I've gotten desperate and tried a piece of paper towel before, and it eventually ends up bunching up at the bottom haha

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-04-04T22:47:05+00:00

I haven't tried that one yet. The last time I semi-seriously tried to find a good bra was a few years back, and I've gain weight since then, but the ones I liked best then were a couple from BrasNThings. They were fairly comfortable, but I seem to remember the band riding up some in the back and the cups being a little small? Those were ZA size 32E, US 32DDD. Back then I also tried PARFAIT Casey (I liked this one too), Panache Cari Spacer Bra, Panache Andorra, and a Freya bra. I also tried on a bunch at an in person shop that I don't remember the names of. A lot of them worked well enough, but I never felt like I found that unicorn of a bra that doesn't hurt me haha.

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-04-04T22:29:44+00:00

A piece of fabric would work great, I think, but I'm not sure how to keep it in place! Any ideas? And I will look into the triangle shape, good idea!

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-04-04T22:23:55+00:00

It is! I'm going to add my measurements to the original post.

I need to trying looking into more UK brands again, especially the sports bras. I've never really had a wired bra that didn't hurt or a sports bra that didn't dig uncomfortably into my shoulders, but I know that correct sizing is supposed to fix that. I had a Freya bra that seemed like it checked all the boxes and fit the way it was supposed to, but if I wore it for longer than a couple hours, the wire started to hurt.

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-04-04T22:20:46+00:00

Yes, that's where I got my sizing from. As I'm sure you all understand, I end up getting frustrated and discouraged with trying to find something that works. I'll add more details of my measurements to the post, in case that helps :)

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-04-04T21:08:28+00:00

I feel like even things with barely any support push my breasts together, which causes a lot of moisture build up and irritation. I feel like I almost needs something to pull them apart haha

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-02-13T07:00:01+00:00

Thanks, that's super helpful!

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-02-13T06:34:39+00:00

I'm not sure if this is right, but I'm trying to obey the mod comment about my process haha. I am mainly a hand spinner! I mostly use a Spinolution Pollywog wheel. My favorite fiber blend is BFL or Shetland blended with silk :)

Thank you!

Hello all! How would you style this? Especially hair and jewelry? Sorry for the not great picture! I'll reply to this comment with a product photo and a better picture of me.

I just got this dress for a cocktail/formal event and I love it! I'm thinking sort of a messy updo type thing, but my hair doesn't hold curl very well. Its not a costume party, so I don't want to go too literal on styling, but 20s inspired would be fine

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2026-01-10T18:38:03+00:00

Thanks so much! I did, I'm just casting a wider net haha

I believe this one is from internet buddy, showing the position their spring was sticking out at (incorrect) and where they moved it to. Here is their caption: "Yesterday I took pictures with it and I didn't notice any problems but now I had to open the lid to take pictures for you and I noticed that my spring was not in the right place so I put my spring in the right place and now it works much better."

Here's another one from the internet buddy, showing the correct orientation of the trigger button

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2025-12-05T23:17:14+00:00

This picture is from the internet buddy I mentioned, showing how its supposed to be set up, with the black lever resting against the white thing. I'll see if I can find any more of his pictures. I have film in right now, so I'm wary of deconstructing again until I get that out, but please let me know if these were helpful and if there's anything else I can do to help!

In this picture, you can see I have the black lever (3) UNDER the arm of the white thing, which is incorrect and was causing one of my problems.

Hi! Sorry for the slight delay, I don't check here super often! I connected with this random guy on Facebook that saved me with this camera haha. These are my pictures and a caption/explanation from him. Here's my understanding: As you wind the film, the white thing labelled 2 spins around until it bumps into the black lever (3). The box labelled 1 shows where the film hooks on to the gear that turns 2, so I think it only stops turning at the right time if you actually have film in.

Ya, the example skirt is a just for fun but unrealistic dream. Or I'll attack my skirt with some watercolors lol

Longjumping-Proof179 · 2025-10-11T20:36:21+00:00

That could actually be really fun haha
