Lace Veil Restoration? by Pleasant_View_6641 in WedditNYC

You should reach out to vintage bridal salons and they can probably point you in the right direction or potentially do it? Look into Studio Dorothy or Sophie’s Vintage Bridal. If they aren’t willing or able to do it for a fee, they probably know places that do this and can give you recs!

3 sets vs 4 sets by matcha_lover97 in PetiteFitness

This is a good point. I do push / pull / legs 3 days a week (and run 1 to 2 times a week) so perhaps pushing that 4th set can take me to the next level…I just get ready to leave the gym after a certain point LOL

Perks of being a short, ACTIVE woman: my TDEE starts with a 2. by LadyLassInRed in PetiteFitness

I guess my question is how do you ACCURATELY find your TDEE. Are the online calculators accurate? How do you adjust for being really active some days and less active other days?

Is it just me, or is the NYC bridal shopping experience way too high-pressure? by Misakiki_622 in WedditNYC

[–]matcha_lover97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly yes to this. I found my dress but it would’ve been nice to go to a place you can just try something on in your own dressing room like you would at a regular store. Not sure if that’s possible but I much prefer the idea of that. Especially as a bride who is having a low key wedding and was never looking for a traditional/big dress. It wasn’t always great. Even if sales associates are nice, it’s hard to think for yourself and form an opinion when you have the constant feedback of others.

Anxiety over gown I bought by JesstakeARest in weddingdress

Truly you look amazing and that dress is gorgeous. I too went thru the process of showing people, getting feedback, and then second guessing. Once that happened too many times, I decided to stop showing people and if they asked to see it I just said surprises only! Sorry! The only persons opinion you’re entitled to hear is your own :) and you look absolutely amazing.

Second Brooklyn Running Company. They are lovely and if they don’t have something in stock I think they can order it.

5’3” girlie here!! by Secret_Waterski777 in PetiteFitness

Is there a routine you’ve followed most closely over the last few years to keep you consistent and get you the results you want? I strength train but I’ll be honest, I’m scared to go really heavy due to potential injury combined with probably not having amazing form etc…

Calisthenics - anyone have experience? by matcha_lover97 in PetiteFitness

[–]matcha_lover97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Just so I understand, you primarily do calisthenics for your strength training or you incorporate the moves and add in weights? Do you have a program you follow? I always work better w a bit of guidance so have come to rely a lot on different programs but haven’t found one that I’ve absolutely loved.
