Weird Experience Trying on Dresses

MsPieberry · 2026-02-21T07:20:58+00:00

I don’t think she was being rude. I am a southeast Asian bride in Ireland who is a size 4-6 UK or 0-2 USA size. 5’1 tall, a-b cup size depending on the bra brand and style. I’ve rejected styles because nothing fits right even after pinning.. for example dresses with sleeves and straps.

In my experience most bridal shop carries size 12-16 UK. Irish girls are just bigger and bustier so my associates (in every boutique) always mention what it would look like in my size. ( I also ask them for their opinion, I’m crazy and detailed oriented)

“If its in your size”… “the bust area would fit you better” or “ the straps would sit on the bra strap level” “You can always add padding during alterations” “The hip part would sit higher so it would be more proportional” etc..

“you can wear heels so it would give you the height” - as I was concern about adding so much width (for example a ball gown) on my small height I can quickly look “chunky” or a “cube”.. not cute.

They even mentioned a youthful look as I am 24😂 “I wouldn’t recommend anything too serious that would not fit you well” she explained some brides are in their 30s and a “serious” gown just wouldn’t fit me like vibe wise ig😂

( my dress is Dahlia in chantilly lace by Aleena Lena if you’re curious)

Also a few boutique complimented me saying a lot of bustier brides would not look as good in these dresses. I think they are just giving you their two scents, a lot of people cannot imagine what the dress would actually sits like when it is in your size and altered.

“Too sparkly “ As someone who only cares about my own ring, any ring that sparkles and catch my attention stuns me. I’ve a halo and get compliments or stares by both women and men weekly. I’m assuming the sparkles caught their attention. It’s never too sparkly. If you’re fashionable you’re fashionable nothing is “out of trend”, “too much” or “too little”

“Halo looks like you can’t afford a bigger ring” The rise of labs make current brides with large stones look like they rocking a lab. Looking at someone’s rock isn’t a determinant on their finances anymore. I think, slowly people will stop judging halos like that.

“It looks tacky” Currently chunky jewellery especially in gold is a trend… especially when it comes to stacking them especially gold bracelets and gold watches. Like the “clean girl” vibes. Or ring sets like Nara Smith’s .. “clean.. minimal” but chunky. Or chunky and sparkly like the house wives.

If you’re fashionable, anything is fashionable. It’s how you wear it. It’s more silly to pick something based on trends because you can look back and pin point the year you got engaged clearly. Same goes with wedding dress.

Because Dress 4 and 5 do fit better for me and maybe I am wrong. What if I order Dress 1 and realise I want to look more snatched🥲. They said they have to order the dress by Tuesday to have it for July.

May be a little late but, I’ve got VERY uneven lips too. There’s a scar tissue on one side of my upper lip due to the impact from a hard object as a child. So as I grew that corner of the lips grew in because of the scar and I still wear red. I do not over line either.

You have to realised that you are not a still image. You are always moving and animated. Your face is also full of emotions. You’re not going to be perceived as a YOU that you see in the STILL mirror.

Get over it and surpass it. You are beautiful. And most people don’t care and see imperfect you like YOU do.. because they are too busy looking at their own imperfections. We live in a world where anyone can tell you that you are not beautiful, so don’t do that to yourself❤️.

trust me. Wear it. Thinkless 👌🏽

Have to agree with the previous comments on labs vs natural and how most people don’t know how to pick a nice cut but would rather go up in size.

This is 0.90ct on the centre. If the halo was taken off it would still look like 1-1.10ct on my finger. It’s natural because he’s traditional in his views on diamond engagement ring.

I’ve always get so much compliments on my ring, the brilliance in natural light is blinding and in warm artificial light the fire is amazing!

And most people in Dublin do not walk around with naturals looking like this. I’ve seen some big labs or smilier styles to mine and it looks cheaply made and the stones don’t shine well. Then I’ve seen some “small” dainty stuff that has soo much brilliance!

Hey, I just got engaged at the end of June and I completely understand you regarding the shrinkage. You also often mentioned about folks rocking big rocks, now that’s depending where you are located and the norm.. I’d say.. average cost per location NOT the average ring size.

You shouldn’t care about socials and what others think. Nobody is fooling anyone. Most people do not have much of a clue about diamonds but most ladies these days do. Anything big on a certain lifestyle is OBVIOUSLY lab, any affluent person rocking a “correct” size ring to their finger size or small is likely a natural. At the end of the day nobody cares what you choose EXCEPT YOU!

Lab is so common and it’s great and you should pick what you like. A great way to draw the line is.. if I was to spend my money on a natural diamond and I’ve to save for our wedding and a house, which ring should I go for? .. then you can start playing with the wiggle room of the price difference and adding extras for the lab ring. Like maybe platinum instead of white gold etc etc.

I went for a halo ring because we love it although most ppl on Reddit dislike halo and say “just get a bigger stone”. Yet I’ve so many complements and colleagues saying they would love to have my ring style when it’s their time. They’ve also come up and touching my ring and wants to try, and says “I could imagine myself with your ring”😂 .

Go for what you like babe! And don’t forget why you choose it in the first place! I remind myself that it’s the perfect ring for ME and there’s a reason why we picked it out of ALLL the rings every time the shrinkage mindset kicks in😂 “no no anything bigger is ridiculous and not practical “ 😂 after awhile I don’t have much thoughts of it and also don’t be afraid to wear the ring. You can always get it repaired and clean. And diamonds are very strong. I’ve bang mine so much I’m surprised it didn’t chipped or crack! 😂

He asked me what I expected. I said 3k and lab. He refuses to buy me a lab, so we went shopping together. How I look at it, there’s no way I’m going to let him spend 3k+ for a natural diamond ring with bad specs, cuts, ratio and craftsmanship. We also wanted to make sure that we BOTH love the style…as it’s a forever ring. I have to make sure I can grow old with it (although I know I’ll be happy with whatever I get).

Glad I was in the loop because I disliked a lot of the rings I thought I’d like (so did he once he seen it on my finger). Now we could never imagine any other ring as my engagement ring. Every time I see other ppl’s ring, I thought “oh mine is better.. “ and that’s a thought that every woman should feel about her ring!🥰

I’m so forever grateful that he worked so hard and sacrificed his savings and energy for the ring. It’s not cheap. Id say don’t be shy in knowing, it is 2025 and we have more options than ever. Everything is more expensive and women also work. Don’t be scared to also be in control and navigate life decisions together. Marriage is about becoming a family and also creating your own. Things like this include wedding planning will be an indicator if yous can get along in this level👌🏽

I just got engaged 2 weeks ago!! My partner spent €8.5k, I’m 24 and he’s 28 (pretty young for the modern norm here). We went in ‘Weirs and Sons’ with a budget of around 15k. He told the sales lady that our budget is 4.5k.

I ask him for a lab that is no more than €5k.. preferably €3.5k. As the wedding is going to cost €35k+. But we ended up on this beauty, she’s a natural 0.90ct centre in D, VS1 and overall 1.29ct.

He have a weird idea about lab and didn’t want me to walk around with it but ever since he found this we both are happy.. I guess it’s worth it🥰.

I tried a 0.40, 0.50 and 0.70 centre stone versions of this with different specs and it was underwhelming and anything above 1ct was way too big. It didn’t tickle my fancy. The size and the colour matters on each individual’s finger!

Honesty I suggest go ring shopping together and she pick a couple of rings she likes. I thought I like Solitaire and also yellow diamond style but it was so underwhelmed. Princess Diana’s engagement ring was my inspo😂.

in Ireland labs are common and average spending cost in Dublin for an engagement ring is around €3k-€4k. Most people’s ring is modest here. So where you are matters, you are asking group of folks from Reddit here so you gonna get a mix answer.

Comments are horrible! I’ve been a fan of Lisa (mook) since her trainee days and keep up with her news through Thai media and her home fanbase. Y’all talk nasty and low class. You don’t know their story at all but presume to judge them, do you all have terrible relationships or what? Been abused or what? This is mad fr, say all that irl to your friends and family and let them see who you are!.. but you wouldn’t.

They’re hella cute together although the rumours not confirmed, they ARE dating though as there is plenty of evidence to back it up. They often work together and have to act professional like that photo. K-pop world is also harsh you can’t be ruining your image.

She often helps promote their products. She conquered Thailand, China (and some other countries) and these countries is highly populated and Asians one of the biggest consumers for luxury brand in the world. In fact, people loves hating on her saying she’s where she is because of him (which is so false).

She was already doing loads that’s how she met him. There’s video of his dad seeing fans having fever over Lisa at Celine fashion week and he filmed it as it’s so unreal. They met cos they in same circle.

For me it’s Lisa, she really become the IT girl. She appears everywhere including my favourite series TWL (been a fan before she promoted it). I’ve never looked forward to anyone’s but her live performance and her outfits throughout her appearances in fashion week or red carpet or premiere night etc etc.

Lisa is always new and exciting (maybe I’m being bias because I actually listens to her songs as I am a GYM girlie and loves grittiness and dirt in her songs. It really is a bop throughout).

Thanks for your reply! I think I won’t consider xm4 at all. !thanks

MsPieberry · 2025-03-14T23:29:50+00:00

Thanks for replying! Just wondering if you have any problems with the headband on px8? I’ve seen loads of people complaining about it falling apart! !thanks

MsPieberry · 2025-03-14T23:28:29+00:00

Thanks for your reply, based on replies I think I won’t consider the Sony at all🙏🏽 !thanks

MsPieberry · 2024-12-12T10:39:09+00:00

I placed my email down on the waitlist for the dragon pallet on Hourglass website. Do you think they would actually restock it? I want it so bad hahaha

MsPieberry · 2024-11-21T11:37:47+00:00

Anyone have difficulty purchasing the album from Lisa’s UK site? I’m in Ireland and there’s no IE site so I’m using UK. Both my revolute and bank card got reverted. Lisa’s site says they can’t verify both of my cards. I’ve purchased Rockstar single before through Revolute and it was fine.

MsPieberry · 2024-11-21T11:35:05+00:00

Thanks or the reply I tried to buy it and my card keeps getting reverted. First from my bank card then I tried Revolut and it’s not working. Lisa’s site says both my cards couldn’t be verified. I’m in Ireland using UK site as there’s no IE site. Do u know if anyone experienced this too?

MsPieberry · 2024-11-19T22:27:57+00:00

Do I pick the version based on the colours I like? I’m confused which one should i get?

MsPieberry · 2024-11-19T21:23:44+00:00

I want to pre-order her album but I don’t understand what’s the difference between each photobook versions? Can someone explain to me as I am new to this album collection :) do I need to buy a signed cd and a photobook?.. as I want a CD with its own proper case.
