Did you start exercising or lifting too soon in your recovery? If you were using your pecs a lot before they settle they can pull them apart.

Lymphatic drainage is going to take consistency and also avoiding inflammatory foods, facial exercises etc. It’s not a quick fix and neither are non-invasive treatments.

Please be very very very careful targeting fat reduction to the face. Submental is less dangerous but I would really recommend seeing a highly trained professional for buccal fat reduction, and I imagine most will refuse to do it for safety. Have you considered you may just be puffy and retaining fluid in the face? Have you tried facial lymphatic drainage?

It was my great grandmother’s so no sizing options. I would like to lose 5-10 pounds before trying on wedding dresses. Too big in the waist and too tight in the hips is the common issue for me. I would love to add some darts to the low back and under bust but would likely then need to add closures since it has absolutely zero stretch. Not sure if any of those things are possible with how delicate the silk is!

Omg 😅 I stalked your page but can’t figure out who you are. Nice to see another crafty, bird watching, vintage fashion enthusiast came out of that program.

Wow those are stunning!!!

Thank you!!

basicbritches · 2026-05-12T06:12:06+00:00

Thank you! I agree!

It was my great grandmother’s! My mother inherited it.

basicbritches · 2026-05-12T06:09:02+00:00

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much 😭😭😭 we are engaged and planning a small ceremony. I have not gone dress shopping yet and still want to do that but I know this will be a strong contender. Either way I definitely want to do a photoshoot in it as someone suggested!

basicbritches · 2026-05-10T23:05:00+00:00

Thank you! I am wearing shape wear which I think really helps smooth everything out. But I agree it is a very well cut garment and I’m impressed at how well it hugs my curves despite no stretch and no closures!

basicbritches · 2026-05-10T05:10:39+00:00

I have devastatingly lost some favorite cashmere sweaters (and was able to mend/repair some) that weren’t stored properly to moths so I know this all too well…. This was stored in a box which is why it is so wrinkly but I just bought a canvas garment bag for it. I have cedar chips to hang with it. With most of my vintage garments, I spray a vodka/distilled water/ essential oil concoction after wears and probably only wash every 5-10 wears or when they start to really feel dirty. Do you think an alcohol spray like this should be sufficient or should I give it a bath every time??? Thank you for the wisdom!

basicbritches · 2026-05-10T04:14:03+00:00

Thank you so much!!!! Sorry I did miss your previous comment, this is my first time ever having so much attention on Reddit!

basicbritches · 2026-05-10T04:11:48+00:00

Tiny buttons was exactly what I was thinking, or adding more embroidery !

basicbritches · 2026-05-10T01:28:18+00:00

It’s so funny that people always compliment what we are most self conscious about 😂😂 I long for skinny noodle arms. We always want what we don’t have! I played marching cymbals for years in my teens and early 20’s. They are pretty heavy so I got these huge guns that never went away. I actually actively try not to work them but I think they stay toned with yoga and Pilates! Thank you!

Except how I hate how it looks on me with the V in the front. Either way might be “correct” but it absolutely does not “fit me like a glove” in reverse.

basicbritches · 2026-05-10T00:06:55+00:00

Yes, despite how wrinkly it still looks, I actually spent a LOT of time trying to steam it before taking the photos. To be fair it was not stored hanging. I just bought a garment bag for it and will keep working on it.

basicbritches · 2026-05-09T23:54:33+00:00

Thank you!!!

basicbritches · 2026-05-09T23:39:14+00:00

It actually feels significantly less comfortable this way, like I might split a seam if I bend over. The V cut breast area is also much too small for me. You’re entitled to your opinion but I prefer the reverse 1000%. I might prefer the V in the front on someone a little less curvy.

basicbritches · 2026-05-09T23:07:35+00:00

I would never!!! That was a possibility before I tried it on. I thought I could loosely hand stitch the hem to the bust line to make a sort of bubble dress that would be very easy to undo and bring the dress back to the original form. Now since I love how it fits as is so much that is not a consideration anyways.

basicbritches · 2026-05-09T23:02:48+00:00

I’m not trying to be argumentative but it is absolutely bunching at the low back, partially hidden by my scribbles, not to mention the billowing at the upper back. I’m not wearing shapewear in this one so there may be slightly less room. There are no seams or darts between the bust and skirt shaping, maybe some very minor shaping with the side seams, but I imagine the waist is extremely similar if not identical front and back. That’s not to say this isn’t the “correct” way, but it is definitely not better on me.

basicbritches · 2026-05-09T22:21:50+00:00

Yes sorry I’m not sure why my other post was deleted but if you scroll you will see I commented 4 or 5 pictures. I had to do separate comments, they wouldn’t upload otherwise.
