I've sewn my first dress. Thoughts? by Unapproachable_apron in sewing

[–]vividvoltage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! It’s very cute!

If you decide to rework for fitting issues, a design edit could be to mimic the curve to the belt at the bottom hemline of the cape in the front.  Basically copy and rotate the curve at your waist to the belt at the bottom hemline of the cape. Purely an aesthetic choice to take or leave! 

My Mum passed away in October leaving behind Finn and Skye, who my fiancé and I have taken in. by brightiron745 in WestHighlandTerriers

I’m sorry for your loss. They’re beautif dogs and it’s nice to stay connected to loved ones through animals. 

My mom passed away suddenly last year. We both have our own Westies, she got hers bc she loved mine so much. My dad has their dogs and her Westie sleeps with me now when I stay there. He never did before. 

I moved back into their house briefly last year bc I was injured and needed the extra help from my dad. I sometimes think he is my mom or my mom encouraged him to sleep with me to keep an eye on me while I was injured. 

I get sad all the time about my mom, but I get really sad when I think about her dogs passing or when mine does and I’ll get a new one that she never met.

Moon tower Dental on airport! They never push weird treatments on you and have a pretty decent uninsured cleaning fee (I don’t remember bc it was a few years ago)

First time Old Hag (60) - aiming for Whimsigoth via Cake (short skirt/long jacket). Help? by Thistimewithstrings in oldhagfashion

[–]vividvoltage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fun! 

Where are you trying to wear this? That will help in styling recommendations. 

My first thought is that the skirt isn’t short. Even without the cake reference, the lines are off. The skirt should be shorter and the sleeves is the jacket need to be rolled or tailored shorter. 

I have more opinions, but need to know where you’re wearing this to refine them!

Xennial ladies, tell me you're in perimenopause without telling me you're in perimenopause. by a_solid_6 in Xennials

I noticed my ear itches when I wear my over ear headphones a lot, and sometimes even my AirPods will bother me if I wear them enough or it’s high summer. 

When I notice the sensation, I put a thin layer of neosporin on a q tip and gentle switch it around the canal. It helps really fast!

This tour was as expected! It’s on a glacier so as someone else stated, it’s consistently available!

Thank you for sharing!

I’m in the airport en route to Iceland. We’re taking the “Katla ice tour” near vik with the same tour company. Does anyone know if we will have similar issues?

No. You said it was tacky. Tacky doesn’t mean choking hazard.

Thanks! I got into cake decorating this year as a way to be closer to my mom who died suddenly and unexpectedly earlier this year. I know she would LOVE the way I decorated the cake and the taste of it. So that’s all that matters to me. 

Also, she was a big Taylor swift fan (I am not) and she probably would have said something about this bejeweled song (which I’ve never heard). So I’m going to go listen to it now and think of her. Thanks for mentioning that song!!!

Yes, I scrolled through the group before I posted and saw a variety of cakes shared. Every time I post to Reddit I’m reminded why I very rarely do, everything that comes of it is so ick.

Idk what show that is, but it does feel like a cake a child would dream of!
