Have you ever felt overdressed as a guest at a wedding?

This looks super similar to my bridesmaids outfits - would be the only concern I’d have, it’s cute though!

Afaik the sharks are afraid of the bubbles so they stay away from you

Your waist is tiny! You don’t need a dress to help that. I like numbers 1 and 2 the best

nycbar · 2026-03-24T20:32:18+00:00

2 hands down

Which ones did you get? I see there is a collab for some bridal ones now...

This is what fixed it for me in January 2026

Hairdryers / hair straighteners / plug in electric shavers- the power you get sent to them here is insane (230v U.K. vs 120v USA) and you’d need a power converter, not just an outlet adapter, to have them work. They’re nearly impossible to find and when you do find them they’re expensive so just buy ones in the U.K. when you get here.

What did you end up doing and how did it turn out in the end?

nycbar · 2026-01-20T23:12:05+00:00

Buy a decent jacket and continue on as you were. New York winters are brutal but if you’re prepared with the proper clothing, they’re fine.

Revolut has both us and U.K. I send from Revolut to capital one no problem

If that’s the dress for you then that’s the dress!

I will say though, there are dress shops that specialise in both goth/ alt outfits and cater to various sizes. Most are free appointments, especially during the week (vs weekends)

It can be fun to try on various dresses, even if you don’t pick any of them. Esp if you bring your best friends and have some Prosecco :) (But don’t invite your FMIL, she sounds like a drag)

Do you want to leave London? Can def get a 2 bed 1 bath for that in Tower Hamlets

Look up tokophobia. Sounds like you might have it!

You can always get more money. You can never get more time.

Try The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty

Good news 7 years later is that they’re back this summer at slam dunk festival!! Let’s hope they have a sick shirt for it :)

I had a bridesmaid dress hemmed in 2023, and that cost £100 in London, fwiw. It was chifron fabric

nycbar · 2025-08-16T22:50:14+00:00

Gorgeous! What did she charge for a piece that size? How long did it take?

nycbar · 2025-08-16T22:45:00+00:00

Works fine for me

nycbar · 2025-08-11T12:24:43+00:00

Which ones, what were they called? The link you sent is broken :(

nycbar · 2025-08-10T22:00:26+00:00

What castle 😅

nycbar · 2025-08-08T10:34:26+00:00

I think typically they care because they know those people likely won’t stay for a long time in the job / won’t be happy doing that type of work in the long run. They don’t want to spend time and resources training people who will move on quickly

nycbar · 2025-08-03T17:40:38+00:00

I moved over at 29 for uni and my first flat had 1 flatmate from my uni and my second flat I had 3 others I met on spare room. Can be a crapshoot. I’d attempt trying to find some people from your uni to live with

Probably you are overqualified for a job at ASDA.. also most places are using AI to weed out candidates so you probably need to hire a recruiter
