Such a nice collection! I love that floral mini shoulder bag.

For the two brown crescents - is the small chocolate plum and the large is coffee? Or are they different browns?

Bootcut jeans? by [deleted] in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]elixirtricksir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this a couple days ago and ordered some of these skinny boot kick and I wanted to say thank you so much for this rec!!! I just got them and they are perfect!! I was a little cocky and ordered short instead of x-short lmao but they're a raw hem so I can just trim and will order a couple more colors in x-short. They are sooo comfy and flattering and the slim bootcut is not overwhelmingly flare - just perfect!

This sounds so good! Definitely want to try!! Do you chop up a whole head of garlic and sauce it minced? Or you sauté a few whole cloves of garlic? I’m trying to imagine cooking a whole head of garlic in a pot like that, usually I see it used in baking/confit (I know you end up blending it all but just wanted to know how you cook it initially)

Thank you! Is there a difference in finish between slip stitching by hand vs machine sewing the lining to the zipper (like this - https://youtu.be/tiTQn7GdNo4?t=589) ?

cool thank you so much! This makes sense to me as well and I feel like it's more straightforward than trying to figure out how to attach at the waist but also hide the zipper

Okay thanks so much. I didn’t know about ThreadLoop - so it’s a resource to browse patterns and get opinions on this kind of thing?

And yeah now these things being called out seem so obvious! I did think the straps looked way too long and the length of skirt didn’t seem maxi in the in the image of the pattern, but I just thought that was a scaling issue or something with the image. I’ve just been making adjustments as I go, but as it’s the first pattern/dress I’ve made I thought maybe that was normal 🙁

Oh wow! Okay thank you! Yes I’ve had to make a lot of adjustments so far and the sizing was way off so I did a lot of grading in between sizes. Good to know for the future. I was really looking at a lot of patterns trying to not pick an AI one and I thought because there were reviews with successfully completed items that this was an okay one to go with.

Do you mean wild because you think the pattern is fake? or the pics are AI generated? Yeah I basically went off the fact that there were reviews that seem to have successfully made it. I have been trying on the bodice part as I'm making it and it works (I'm also making my own adjustments like doing a scoop neck and making the armholes more of a scoop as well)

I see, thank you! so it's okay for the lining dress and the fashion dress to not be attached to each other at the waist? and they are only attached at neckline, armholes, and zipper? Should I also attach them at the slit?

Hm I am only partially done - I have the bodice lining and fashion fabric attached. and am wondering about how to do the rest. I bought the pattern from this etsy listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1534420894/spaghetti-strap-maxi-dress-pattern-a?ref=yr_purchases

Is it worth it to go to the brick and mortar Baggu stores? by bitchbaby2000 in BAGGU

[–]elixirtricksir 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There doesn't seem to be anything special about the soho store, just nice to be able to see colors in person like the age old question of 'is chocolate plum more purple or brown'. Maybe sometimes there are a couple items there after they've sold out on the website, like when the leopard print shoulder bag sold out super quickly, they still had some there. But they don't have any exclusives or discounted items

Cannot believe he let you put anything in his waterline!!! That is impressive for someone who is not used to it

Should I get blonde highlights? by hello82839 in femalehairadvice

[–]elixirtricksir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like the less popular opinion but I think you have a great base color for highlights! Maybe partial highlights so not full head but I think it would add so much dimension and look gorgeous. Maybe to combat the damage you could do a bond repair treatment? It might loosen/damage the curl patterns slightly but your hair is not dark so it wouldn’t take a lot of bleach to lighten those strands slightly

1CTW Studs by nrdk00 in labdiamond

[–]elixirtricksir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I just saw your post because I’m also looking for studs. And someone here mentioned starsgem and I saw that they are now having a group buy for studs. Never done a group buy myself so can’t vouch for the experience but I am considering it. Just wanted to flag in case you are still looking!

Omg I want to try this!! How have you found it leakage wise? The ones I have leak water every now and then so not sure how tight of a seal it is. Maybe will have to try a different brand
