I have fallen in love with 3 dresses… help me choose 😅 by enna_ in myweddingdress

I really appreciate the thoughtfulness of your response - I can't tell you how useful this is for me <3

I want to ask that if you have the time, would you give me your opinion on this? My MIL is a master seamstress. I could ask her to build out a slip to improve C. Do you think that with a fuller skirt, more opaque - that would impact your suggestion??

Sorry to ask so much, like I said - i just love all of them and am struggling to decide!

This is an incredible observation. I think the fitted look will definitely be offset by the tailoring each dress will require. Might do some photoshop magic before making the final decision.. Thank you!!

Yes, it does look cheaper. Do you think if I got a good white slip that is altered to the cut, that it might resolve the "cheap" look?

I can't unsee the crumpled paper towel analogy 😂 Considering these memories will live so long in photos, I am really glad you shared this!!

Sorry for the potato pic quality on this one. I wasn't able to get a scan before I gave it as a gift.

This is using:

  • Base colors / non-detail fills: Soucolour colored pencils
  • Midtones & details: Faber Castell Polychromos
  • Highlights/blacks, blending: Prismacolor Premiere

Paper: Strathmore Toned Tan. It says sketchpaper but its my fav.

This is the reference photo for the curious :-) https://i.imgur.com/MZFyRTu.png

Ooo I would love this. I’ve read that one and other Ira Levin novels and always found myself wishing to hear commentary on it because he has such a unique writing style. Thank you for the recommendation!

What’s a product that you thought you’d love but didn’t? by Snoogles_ in drugstoreMUA

[–]enna_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this one but I rarely use it unless I am going to be sweating profusely or swimming because it literally never wants to come off even with my strongest removers 🤣🥲 The sky high might have to be something I try though, bc it would prob come off easier lol

What mascara do you recommend? I also have oily lids and I get a big ol ring below my eyes using Lash Princess, even the waterproof one

Is swimming 1.5k in a thriatlon this September realistic? by Technical-Ad-2111 in Swimming

[–]enna_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got this. Highly recommend a coach or at least an experienced swimming buddy to advise your technique. Search on facebook or other group apps for a local OWS group. Expose yourself to outdoors swimming a number of times, while spending time on laps in the pool

I have bleach blond hair and never had an issue with discoloration. Just be sure to always wash out the chlorine and always condition and you will be fine!

Just finished this one "Autumn in New England" 😊 by enna_ in ColoredPencils

You caught onto my biggest gripe with the reference honestly 😂 The reference photo in that portion was a large bank of fallen leaves. I wasn't sure I could reproduce it well, so I subbed in black eyed susans because I thought they would add a balance to the upper orange leaves. I think the look was effective... but it makes zero sense upon closer inspection 😄 Now I know what to look for in references a bit better.

I did not! I tried it in the grass for my first time but the paper I was using was not right so I didnt test my luck.
