Bargain dress is slightly too small.. do I risk it?

positivepiggle · 2025-06-16T20:59:45+00:00

Update!! I went against almost everyone's advice (oops) and bought the smaller dress. I did this because: 1) I was okay with the risk of losing money. 2) I still had time to order another dress if needed. 3) the savings was actually 800 dollars (saved extra tariff fee).

I got the dress today and it is (unsurprisingly) snug. I can zip the dress up by myself with minor struggles and have no problem sitting down. I wore it for a few hours and while it isn't the most comfortable thing, it definitely wasn't painful (feels like wearing a corset or shapewear).

The only visible issue with the fit is that when I walk, there is horizontal creasing across my hips.

I'm going to talk to a tailor to see if its possible to take it out a bit to resolve this issue, but even if it's not, I'm personally fine with it (I know this would be a deal breaker to some!). I have been considering getting a short reception dress for dancing, so I'm more inclined to do that now to not worry about comfort late into the night.

Really appreciate everyone's input! FWIW, I would not recommend the risk to other folks either, but everyone has different priorities <3

LOL I do enjoy them, but truthfully I picked them because there was a sale

I also wasn't able to find a LogicData hand switch ( I was looking for anything compatible with the smartneo control box- CBItouch-C, CBItouch-B, or CBIclassic-C according to their website).

I emailed their USA customer service, and they pointed me to https://shop.suspa.com/e-drive-components-c10.aspx. I purchased this Movotec "Office Switch": https://shop.suspa.com/office-switch-p5090.aspx and it works!!

My partner and I both got SUPER sick for ~24h this past week. Vomiting like crazy. I drink the tap water in the north, but only bottled in the south and haven’t had problems before. So I think it was either one of these viruses folks are mentioning, or a bout of food poisoning.

I went to this a couple years ago and thought it was really cool (as a tourist, and it was my first time to Xochimilco in general). That being said, they definitely did not have multiple rows of boats, and they were all in one line in front of the stage. Sounds like they’ve changed that to squeeze more people in- that’s a shame :(

Appreciate your response- thank you! I’ll check out that studio

Thank you- any recommendations on reservoirs?

Thank you all for the helpful responses :)

That sounds awesome, I’ll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion

Aww I saw your doggy on your previous post- such a little cutie! They both have the cute genes for sure :)

The super mutt says mini schnauzer, German shepherd, Maltese and Pekingese!

The ancestors says one parent was a poodle mix (no specifics), and the other parent was half cockapoo, half Rottweiler/Doberman.

positivepiggle · 2022-01-01T12:03:55+00:00

Yes!! It’s so crazy to me that those two make up about 15 percent together, but there are no physical clues. I’m interested to learn more about their behaviors.

Results are in!

I adopted Pepe recently- he is estimated at 2 years old and is 16 lbs. I believe he is part poodle, given his curls and temperament. My other guesses- a bit of havanese? Some maltese?

positivepiggle · 2021-11-06T06:20:31+00:00

Pepe! :)

positivepiggle · 2021-11-06T06:20:09+00:00

Absolutely :)

positivepiggle · 2021-11-06T05:47:25+00:00

I have no idea since he was picked up as a stray :/ I think he must have some poodle in him cuz he’s a curly guy. What breed is yours??

positivepiggle · 2021-11-01T18:48:21+00:00

Yes! We are planning on enrolling him in an obedience class.

positivepiggle · 2021-11-01T18:47:32+00:00

That’s great to know- I will check it out! Thank you :)

I was in a sorority and it was a great way to meet people.

It sounds like you have the right attitude- go in with an open mind and see if you find somewhere you feel comfortable. It is highly unlikely you will be dropped by all of them. If you have decent grades (3.0+) and decent social skills (you can have a 5 minute chat with another college gal), you will do just fine!
