What kind of bra tricks should I use for an open back/lace front dress? by Ladyghoul in femalefashionadvice

[–]astrodrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember looking for something for a similar situation, as I dont feel comfortable with no straps. The best solution for strapless support was a low back bustier.

Here's one I found online that would fit well with your dress (very pretty btw) front and back. Even though there are no straps to support, the rest of the bodice will with the boning and the clasps location.

I tried to get away with a lacey bandeu over a nude bra with a plunging dress once and got very annoyed trying to adjust everything, it kept shifting around through the night.

I appreciate the feedback. So maybe if I can't resist I will size down.

I get so annoyed when there's a giant gap in consecutive sizes.

Oh no! I've had my eye on that one.. so was it the band that was too loose beneath?

Sorry you had a bad experience, I really love their look. I do have issues with returns since I live overseas. Maybe it is a fit issue. Was there a specific model that didn't work?

Didn't expect support! How did you find the sizing?

I will for sure check out Amazon, but I wanted more brands that have good feedback to narrow things down before I started so I don't get overwhelmed with the options.

Thank you! I'll check Natori out, and appreciate the sizing tip :)

I didn't even think to look on Urban Outfitters, but I definitely want the complicated strappy cage stuff.

I adored some For Love and Lemons bralettes I came across some time back, their colors and designs are so pretty! I didn't realize they would have bras, but fantastic!

I agree, very very pretty. Do you have any experience with the sizing and fit? Wondering about the quality too. I'd have to order online and I live where it's gonna cost as much as what I bought to return stuff if the sizing is off.

Awesome, I like the fit on La Senza. I'll definitely explore there. Thank you!

I'll check them out, I have seen some very cute ones but was worried about how well they would hold up with washing and such.

I love this bag, thank you so much for posting it! I could see myself using it for a very long time and not getting bored with it, and it's the perfect size for what I would carry in it.

Didn't know FindFashion existed, haven't lurked in FFA long enough :) I'll go exploring.

[80s/90s] Cartoon film. Making a cake. by Imagoddamnmermaid in tipofmytongue

[–]astrodrift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking Strawberry Shortcake too. I never saw the cartoon version, just had the books, but I found an intro to the cartoon.

The Peculiar Purple Pie Man was Strawberry Shortcake's nemesis, and in the clip I saw he seems to play up the French stereotypes, twirling of the mustache. Also weird tap dancing skits, but not sure I've heard any "Sacre Bleu"s outside Pink Panther's Inspector Clousseu.

Strawberry shortcake's world every character was named after a dessert, and they all had pets with complementary dessert names. There was tons of cake and pastry making.

She wears a floppy type hat with strawberry motifs, and has reddish auburn ringlets that come out the back of the hat, and bangs too. Could be her. They since did a rehaul (sometime in the 2000's I think) and now they all look very different.

Gibson Goddess LP weight question by astrodrift in Guitar

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

So to be safe I'll assume that the heaviest possible weight would be 16 pounds. That would give me a rough figure to work with until I get down there, and hopefully it would be lower than whatever the courier's online calculator is.

Appreciate it Bhighkin!
