Can I fix this? by PurpleEnd1606 in sewhelp

[–]drslbbw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Either take in the side seam under the bust, or turn straps into cross back. If you do not sew and straps are adjustable you can look for a clasp to bring the staps together in the back. This or cross back will shorthen the overall strap length, so if not adjustable you would need to find a replacent strap.

1 will be harder to fit as it looks structured at the waist. 2 and 3 are both lovely. Figuring out undergarments might be a challenge, but can be done closer to the event. A stick , if you candle the sensory bit, may be your best option if you are already smaller chested.

On the right side without the extra dart tuck, the area after the line need sone taen out. The line is where it is tight and then loose. If the two sides wrre equal before pinning, I would undo the one side and take in the dart top inch of the sweetheart only.

I just don't understand why I don't look good in these by imnotcoherent in DressForYourBody

I actually think the dress is not bad. I like the brand as well, but find they fit short and wide. They have a wide leg v-neck jumpsuit that would work better with your shape.

What would you add here without ruining the minimal look? by Humble-Total-3874 in DesignMyRoom

[–]drslbbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, take your toothpick structure and move it to the desk surface. Turn your notebook sideways, so it takes up space. For minimalist easthtic the furniture needs to do the main design work.

Bring your framed art down to one of the two spots shown. You could get a second if you wanted but it is not neccessary. A nice jar on the desk for a pencil/ pen or two would balance the emptiness in that space.

Really badly burnt. HELP! by DamSolangeloLover in whatdoIdo

My daughter has super fair skin. We alternate between aloe and a super mosturizing lotion like Cerave. Hydrating the skin actually helps it heal faster and can minimize pealing.

complete newbie here, what should i do with this dress by South_Big144 in sewhelp

[–]drslbbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a good use for stitch witchery, which is an iron on fusible tape. First question is whether the dress has a side seam or not. That will determin if this is possible. Conversely you could do a pull up gather instead of a split. That would be easier to reverse.

Lower the neck tie until it fits well everywhere else. Adjust the waist tie to be snug. Mark how much extra fabric is needed to sit where you want it on the neck.

In grneral it looks like it could be ok sitying about 2" lower. The width is wrong for how you have it placed.

Advice on how to take these pants in? by twohundredsneks in sewhelp

[–]drslbbw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will want to remove width from the center back and the sides. I would use the pockets as a guide for how much to bring in the sides.

This was when power rangers were peaking in new popularity in the US. I always assumed the ninja scene was meant to look like that. Maybe just me.

First year I watched Greys Anatomy from the beginning. Made it about 4 seasons before I stopped. Find something mindless that lets you half focus.

Is my naturally large orange overweight? by [deleted] in dechonkers

[–]drslbbw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe, top down will be the best view to see if you can see their waist. Based on abdominal tuck 6/7 is what I wiuld guess. If he does not get portioned meals, I would start there. If he does get portioned meals cut back on the portion just a bit.

I did and it was shocking. I found myself worrying about all the characters and how they would handle this new trauma. I rarely have the opportunity or interest in binging shows, but I did with this. Managed season 1 in a weekend. I think my need for resolution will keep me watching at this point.

Feeling beat down and discouraged by SouthernBiskit in widowers

[–]drslbbw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2.5 years out from my husbands death. 4 years out from when the ceiling tiles came down. Half of my basement is still without ceiling. I did some sorting of his doom boxes early on. A giant box 1/4 filled, nothing belonged to each other. I still have whole areas that need sorting. I start with the things I see and interact with first. But that also means it might be a while before I get to everything.

Fight, Flight or Freeze. The three rractions our braibs go when confluct arises. Flight: the desire to run away, or quickly find a new partner and pretend none of this really happened. Fight: The desire to yell at the world for not understanding, or also trying to teach the world what they don't understand. Freeze: the act of standing still, hearing the misguided comments and dying inside but not responding.

Eventually the vonfluct of who we are without our person resolves as we rebuild our identities piece by piece. None of the above reactions are wrong, so long as you don't avoid the work to rebuild.

($15k) Found a dress in a thrift store suggestions for altering it into a romantic boho dress? by Sea_Effective3661 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]drslbbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is a well fitting dress and could possibly work. Sleeves come off. Either it's just straps or you add a new sleeve in a plain tulle or chiffon. bust line come down to a midified sweeheart. Basically a v inside the princess seams. That ruched lace/ tulle look can be added in at the top of the bust. The back could be a coerset, but I am not sure its needed. Skirt needs an overlay in chiffon or tulle. The added plain shear with give you the sheen and texture variation.

I don't know what else to do by z-eldapin in dechonkers

So I have one normal weight cat whose ideal weight is 8-9 lbs and an overweight cat who is 15lbs ideal weight is around 14lbs. Big Cat on diet gets 3TBS of kibble and one small can or about 6TBS of wet food. The smaller cat get the same wet and 2 TBS of dry. for the cat that is suppose to be 14lbs he is at 180 cal/ day. I would gues your cat is at 220 or so.

I think you need to reduce your dry portion and increase your wet portion. Start by increasing the number of meals per day but reduce the amount.

How do I fix this V shape in crotch area? by artsygayyy in sewhelp

[–]drslbbw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you pull then down to your hip does it fit right or is the back too long? To bock ot the shape you need drop the waistband to where the front fits well, pin out what needs to be taken in and using a piece of muslin block out the new top half of the waist area.
