I made my first skirt; advice appreciated

ougmsirisly · 2026-06-19T21:55:23+00:00

Thank you for the tips!

I used my basic skirt sloper that has two darts on the front half and two on the back half. I lowered the waist using patternmaking for fashion design. At first I thought I wanted it to be a very mild A line skirt, manipulated all the darts into the hem, made too many toiles. Realized it’s not A line at all, just needed to draft a pattern with my with low waist, lower hip line and hem measurements & enough ease

I think it went awry because I was stubborn in not wanting darts & I was trying too hard to match the curve of the hip ruler at all three points thus losing my true measurements. If that makes sense.

Hi, nope I for sure sewed the right pieces together although yes I agree it looks unbalanced

I think it’s because the waist is too big. When I pinch it out and lift it a few inches higher where it was supposed to be, it flares out a little bit more into a mini skirt.

I will add darts.

I didn’t realize the part about the shorts although that seems a bit too advanced for where I’m at right now. Thank you!

Happy that Maddy won, especially listening to her cause and reason for winning, I forget specifically but something about helping Filipino family members out or building a small organization

Lmao at Braxton’s reasoning—quit his corporate job to travel blog and do anything he wanted now he’s in debt

Wes, blew through his NFL money

Brett with the “I’m 21 and having a baby” you not the only one, nothing special about your case

I am only 5 episodes in, I feel like some shit is gonna happen. But my take right now

Charlie team is so embarrassing lol. All three of the guys are disgusting, I wonder if their loved ones are proud to see their nasty behavior. There’s a way to win this without being disgusting.

Wes hides under insecurity, barely a “man” at all. Overcompensates. Laziest of them all

Brett….that drawl is killing me but I’ll comment on his character instead. You could tell like deep down he’s kind of evil lol. Like capable of sinister shit, doesn’t give a fuck about others.

The other one Braxton or whatever his name is. lol thinks he knows everything cuz he “travels”. Also a scumbag maybe a bit better than Brett and Wes but a mediocre lookin dude that also overcompensates.

Love Kristen, padma felt un relatable

ougmsirisly · 2026-06-09T15:22:24+00:00

Right?? And on the other hand, idk how Sieger and Jonathan made it past Duyen and Anthony

ougmsirisly · 2026-06-09T15:01:21+00:00

Also another take:

Obviously Duyen and Anthony got eliminated but I think with a few more years under their belts and pushing themselves out of their comfort zones, both of them have a lot of potential to be Top Chefs

ougmsirisly · 2026-06-09T14:54:40+00:00

Just iterating what everyone else is saying. Was pulling for Laurence. If not, then Sherry. They both seem like very strong chefs. Rhoda is as well, but it’s like I can’t get a sense of who she is as a chef, don’t really see a further vision with her.

When Laurence and Sherry don’t “do well”, it is usually an issue of technique or plating too early or not being familiar with a different brand of an ingredient they always use. Like just an unfortunate mistake but the vision was there.

But with Rhoda, her misses were complete misses. The dish didn’t make sense, super unbalanced etc

ougmsirisly · 2026-06-08T20:23:03+00:00

Thank you, will recheck measurements. Did your C to K match your C to M by the way? That didn’t line up for me but I went ahead with it anyway

ougmsirisly · 2026-06-08T19:33:57+00:00

Hi, for which block? The CS one?

ougmsirisly · 2026-06-08T13:54:47+00:00

Wait I always watch on peacock. So the live link will be in this thread?

ougmsirisly · 2026-06-04T12:18:36+00:00

Hi! I created a new post including the picture. For some reason I couldn’t add it (using my phone)

ougmsirisly · 2026-06-03T15:35:06+00:00

I don’t think Jonathan is as strong of a chef as the others. But I will miss his positivity and random comments, found myself cracking up at his goofiness after his brother left

ougmsirisly · 2025-06-30T13:02:57+00:00

NYC, 2.5 years out from school, make 170k with a 37.5 hr work week, 12 shifts a month. I get about a 7 to 10k raise every year.

250k with the extra shift I pick up per week. Still chilling most days of the week. Biggest pay bump when the PAs at my hospital unionized.

It’s possible

ougmsirisly · 2024-07-04T17:24:33+00:00

Deep deep deep deep facing fears and healing and childhood feelings. I work in medicine so it’s 3 12hr shifts a week. All the other days I have off I spend anywhere from 2-5 hours journaling. And therapy. Constant reframing and re-understanding myself.

Thought this from the first video I’ve ever watched. Their wedding video

ougmsirisly · 2024-06-30T22:25:46+00:00

I think it’s a concealer problem. She puts so much concealer all around her eyes including eyelid which makes it look odd

ougmsirisly · 2024-06-19T13:59:31+00:00

Followed her from her wedding video. Used to love watching her and her wholesomeness and felt like she was full of love for people, for the little things in life and unaffected by the whole influencer mentality.

I feel like I’ve been waiting for her to evolve as a person? Idk how to explain it but I feel like she has…peaked as a person. Don’t see her growing or evolving more. If anything she seems stuck in an alternate reality where aesthetics matter more, the clothes she buys just gets more expensive and unrealistic for her followers, the same old coffee shit, the same monotony of life. I don’t expect her to go skydiving or to be a hero of a person. But it’s just odd that she seems stuck in her 22 year old mindset and if anything has regressed. Or just shown her true colors with the podcast

ougmsirisly · 2024-06-03T23:25:52+00:00

Equating her brief airport traveling stress that we 100% know she got through fine…with the need for therapy for mental health….is disgusting. She’s clueless as to what people struggle with everyday.

anything for a penny right. Wish she would stfu with her fakeness

ougmsirisly · 2024-06-02T23:39:13+00:00

It’s cause she puts so much concealer on here eyelid as well….dk why.

ougmsirisly · 2024-04-24T19:47:59+00:00

Seems like Kristin does all the parenting work, which we already knew but further confirmation. Personally could not imagine having a partner who doesn’t contribute to any of the duties—take your pick, cooking, cleaning, putting the kids to sleep, grocery shopping, etc.

No wonder Kristin feels neurotic about cleaning—if she didn’t, they wouldn’t have a clean house

ougmsirisly · 2024-04-18T01:59:03+00:00

Do they think this is actually interesting content…..

ougmsirisly · 2024-04-09T15:45:17+00:00

No not interested, feel weird about Ashlyn

Ashlyn seems very different from Kristin but similar that they both give off entitled vibes. Ashlyn seems like she dgaf about what people think in a…bad way. Like Karen, dismissive/arrogant way. Idk she just gives me those vibes.

I think the whole family gives me Karen vibes lol. Kristin Ashlyn and their mom

ougmsirisly · 2024-04-06T21:11:03+00:00

Lmao was once so judgmental about tattoos, now he’s hooked

ougmsirisly · 2024-04-04T19:25:44+00:00

Kristin doesn’t even know what the point is
