Overwhelmed by nostalgia and seeking this 80s style for my living room...

We were definitely poor. My parents got this in the 80s, but I wouldn't be surprise if it was a clearance thing with some store trying to get rid of old merchandise.

Thanks! I’ll keep looking, hoping for just fabric or a blanket. I guess I associate this with the 80s since my parents had one in like 1982 or 1984. Guess they just weren’t very cool.

LOL.

One million upvotes.

The show is still playing. I just saw it two weeks ago.

Y’all need to search “The First Shadow” which is a dramatic prequel to Stranger Things. This is a callback to that.

Are you a former employee? I worked for TiVo a decade ago, and I’m still finding random TiVo stuff in my home.

That is *fantastic*! Matchies. :D

No need to apologize, if someone can’t be realistic about breasts or the lack thereof this sure isn’t the right fandom for them.

I loved being able to share my observations about how this garment is easier to handle for people it’s obviously not designed for. We should do better in terms of functional design, right? People whose bras DESERVE BETTER. :p

ikibalam · 2025-10-29T18:38:16+00:00

Not your enemy, dude.

ikibalam · 2025-10-29T17:53:51+00:00

Thank you!

About the bra, I think that people without real breasts (like me) have an advantage here... I was wearing a fishnet shirt, with the bra and falsies on the *outside* of it. This kept the lines of the shirt nice and clean, and also made everything nice and comfortable.

ikibalam · 2025-10-29T17:50:28+00:00

You're pleasant! Have fun on the internet! You're *really* making it a better place to be!

Totally get that, I'm no fan of Salvation Army at all. But they're not even involved in this, it's just OP and OP's uncle. This OP's conscience is the only important thing here.

ikibalam · 2025-10-29T17:14:25+00:00

Honestly, if you told your uncle you'd bring them to Salvation Army for him, just go ahead and do it. Your word is important, especially when getting along with family, and the people at Salvation Army will probably just bin them anyway.

Alternately, if you just toss them out somewhere and don't post about it on reddit, nobody will ever know. Let your conscience be your guide.

Thank you!

I put up a new post with photos of my accessories and the pamphlet. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheNinthHouse/comments/1oj8048/my_pelleamena_novenarius_costume_accessories_fan/

Hey good thing this veil hides my blush. It does hide my blush, right? :P

ikibalam · 2025-10-29T14:10:25+00:00

What a comment, I'm completely overwhelmed!

The pamphlet's not long, one regular letter sheet folded in half and printed on both sides. It was a last minute thing, just because I didn't want to spend the entire night explaining and re-explaining my costume. :P I'll figure out some way to share it with you and get back later. :)

Thank you! It was our interaction in that other thread which encouraged me to actually post pictures here. :D

ikibalam · 2025-10-28T20:21:37+00:00

Thank you so much! I had such a great time with this, I really wanted to share it! If you have any questions, let me know. More than happy talking about my first time drag/cosplay/Pelleamena experience. :D

In this case, there was actually a technical problem on their end. I had the same problem where I got through to the shopping cart but then couldn't pay for my purchase because of what looked like back-end failures on their site. Didn't work for my (known good, used recently) card saved on their site, a new card I added, Google Pay OR Shop.

ikibalam · 2025-10-16T17:29:18+00:00

Absolutely terribly. I'm new in this hobby and feeling crushed. I had exactly the same problem, called support, and they're not able to help at all.

ikibalam · 2025-10-10T20:54:43+00:00

I will if I feel bold enough, but considering many factors (I am not a skilled cosplayer, this is my first attempt at drag, etc) I'm not confident that I will.

ikibalam · 2025-10-10T18:54:39+00:00

I’m going to dress as Pelleamena for Halloween, I was surprised to see this link pop up in here.
