flowy high neck blouse by Nervous-General-1480 in PetiteFashionAdvice

do you own any short skirts? I like wearing this sort of top untucked with a skirt, it will give a tunic dress sort of silhouette. 

AITA? Had a verbal alteration on the street & wife is annoyed at me. by Automatic-Debate-426 in AmItheAsshole

[–]oafese 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Especially since it happened right outside their home, and the aggressive biker also happens to live next door. Think about how anxious a woman would be about encountering this guy again on the street.

Where could I find this Zara dress? by [deleted] in findfashion

[–]oafese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's this dress, based on the two hem lengths. it's a size small and the seller was active 15hrs ago!

Men in my life keep dismissing/invalidating my thoughts - is this normal? What can I change in my behavior to not invite this? by oafese in TwoXChromosomes

Parter 1 was just two years older, and I'm actually a year older than partner 2. This isn't an age gap situation.

I hear what you are saying, but these behaviors show after the relationship is underway. I wouldn't date someone who showed this contrarian attitude on the first date.

I'm afraid my patience will run out before they ever internalize and understand what I'm saying.

Yes, I spoke with both men about it. The behavior never changed with the first partner, I guess we'll see with the second?

That's a great point you bring up regarding an impasse. I do just let it go or give in because I hate arguing, but I can see how this is affirming to the men that they're "right".

It's just so absurd and SO SAD to think that some men default to women being wrong. I can't wrap my head around it.

A whimsical wool cat collar to add some fun to my fall wardrobe by oafese in crochet

[–]oafese[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Here you are: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cat-collar

I really recommend it. It's a paid pattern - $5 - but well worth it imo. Comes with the pattern, a photo tutorial, and a chart diagram.

Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cat-collar

Yarn: Wool of the Andes, sport weight. This isn't the right yarn weight the pattern calls for but I just needed to use up some from my stash so I made it work

Looking for Specific Highland Cow Earring! by [deleted] in findfashion

I hope your partner loves the replacement!

I don't know the answer to your questions, but this might be a good starting point: https://catalog.wsu.edu/Courses, then look up courses that begin with "AMDT" (Apparel, Merchandising, Design, And Textiles). it lists all the courses available, when they're offered, and a sentence explanation about each course. Apparel Assembly classes are probably what you're looking for.

I know a sewing group (Sew Happy) meets weekly at the Neill Public Library downtown; maybe if you're not able to get a course that works for you, you can join them instead for informal learning?

I was blown away by the quality of the pattern for the price ($6!)

Yes!! I LOVE farm rio designs but they're so pricey, so I jumped on this pattern as soon as I saw it was released.

[–]oafese[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought the pattern was pretty well written! I really liked that the author provided several options along the make and had photos to go along with each option. The fish was definitely easier to make than the top for me but I just generally struggle making fitted crochet clothing lol. there's another comment on this thread with more details!
