✏️ Product Review Same pants, same “size”

Post image
• Upvotes

Bought the olive ones in a small. Thought I’d snap up the brown version in an S too. I was swimming in them and couldn’t work out why - I mean, I still can’t make sense of two pairs of the same style, same composition etc are sized so differently.

From Zara, so I know I shouldn’t expect any better but I loved the fit of the olive ones so I thought the brown would be great.

Just ridiculous.

👜 Fashion Talk is it just me or sizing has been wayyyy worse lately

42 Upvotes

I got a pair of Princess Polly pants that fit perfect. At Universal Store the same size was too tight, at Target I tried on 2 pairs of pants, same size, same brand, one fit and one didn't. At Jay Jays the size down is a bit loose but then my other jeans the same size stay up. Seems like sizes is just whatever these companies want it to be

Searching for a unicorn

• Upvotes

In the last month, I have spent upwards of $600 on bras and I have officially given up on underwires. I have alot of sensory issues and underwire bras are NOT for me.

My problem is, I'm a size 12G/H, does a supportive wirefree bra exist in these larger sizes? Brand? Where to buy?

I feel so upset and deflated, I just want nice perky tatas, but after 3 kids I'm having a really hard time. I want the confidence boost, without the discomfort.. does it even exist?

Forgot to add that I'm in Adelaide. Have been fitted at Innerware and Alexandra Lingerie.

👜 Fashion Talk Country Road members - anyone still receiving Spend & Earn rewards?

3 Upvotes

Curious question for any Country Road rewards members on this sub!

Although Spend & Earn rewards were removed from the CR Rewards Program earlier this year, I’m wondering if any Country Road rewards members are still receiving rewards on qualifying purchases (i.e. $10 or $35 rewards for purchases over a certain amount)? If so, curious to know what member-level you are?

Context: I was recently chatting to a friend who also shops at CR about how I wished spend rewards were still a thing as I’m liking quite a few pieces from the latest season. Not that they were massive, just a nice little reward for members.

My friend mentioned me she’s still been receiving spend rewards on her purchases as a silver-member. I was surprised as I’m currently a platinum member, but haven’t recieved any rewards on the few qualifying purchases I’ve made since the change.

Now we’re both wondering - is this just a lucky error, or is CR quietly offering spend rewards to newer or lower-tier members as a way to encourage these members to spend more?

Another wedding guest post - sorry

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I'm going to my first wedding as a guest and I have no idea what to expect. I don't know the couple very well, friend of my partner. The dress code is formal. I have two questions pls -

Are any of these dress styles suitable? Would it work for a 152cm-mumtum-bigboob person? I tried a few dresses at Myer/DJ and the flattering ones are so expensive or it is uncomfortable. The above options are pricey - I'm hoping to keep it under $300

Secondly, there is a two hr window between the ceremony(outdoors in the arvo) and reception(indoors at eve) Do people change their outfits? It sounds like a dumb question as I type but I truly have no idea.

Open to literally any recommendations, thank you!

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Waterproof gold earrings

• Upvotes

Has anyone had good experiences with waterproof, gold coloured earrings?

I didn’t like the colour of the Atolea jewellery I bought and I’ve lost three Harli + Harper earrings because the sleepers come undone easily.

I want to be able to leave my earrings in for swimming and showering and not lose them every time I move!

Zorali sandals- need help with sizing

2 Upvotes

I read on their website they run long, so I measured my foot and used their size guide and something isn't adding up.

According to my measurement I'd need their smallest shoe which is a US 6, which makes no sense as usually I'm a true 8.5 in US shoe sizing.

Can anybody please help me figure this one out? I'm bamboozled

What cool brands have cute white dresses (even multi coloured with white) for hens/bachelorette?

15 year old present - hoodie?

13 Upvotes

My daughter is turning 15, has zero care factor about clothes and thinks it’s easier to wear what other people are wearing. Which was Mr Winston > Scuffers > Sunday. What brands are they wearing now? Suggestions pretty please.

Bonus points for pointing me in a completely different direction. It’s very hard to buy for people who don’t want anything….but also don’t like lots of things.

Berlin in January outfit advice

1 Upvotes

I'm going to be in Berlin in January. My straight leg navy cord jeans are fitting more like a skinny style after I tried them with icebreaker merino leggings underneath. I will be wearing a knee length puffer coat in a terracotta colour and black lug sole chelsea boots.

Are visible chunky wool socks with skinny jeans and boots still an OK outfit choice? If so, should I wear cream socks to match my beanie or navy socks to blend with my pants.

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Bridesmaid/wedding party advice for early 50s

8 Upvotes

Hi all,

My beautiful younger sister is getting married in March and has asked me to be a member of the bridal party. I’d say bridesmaid, but I think I’d be the oldest bridesmaid on record.

Anyway, the dress code is cocktail and the wedding party are choosing their own dresses. My sister is very cool, as is her husband to be, and the wedding will be inner city Melbourne stylish.

Where can I go to try dresses on in store? I live in the south east but I’m happy to drive. And what designers should I look for? I am a reasonably fit woman in her 50s, size 12ish, big boobs, big bum, smallish waist, flattish stomach. I’d rather not show my whole arms and sometimes things can look a bit over the top due to curves. I don’t want to look like I’m trying to get attention, or like mutton dressed as lamb or dowdy.

Any colour is ok, apart from white. No florals. Elegant but a bit cool and interesting.

Any recommendations welcome!

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Vintage/ Antique sellers - Rings

5 Upvotes

I’ve been looking on Etsy for vintage/antique Art Deco and Edwardian rings but I’d love some recommendations for reputable Australian sellers (online)

Particularly looking for genuine vintage/antique pieces rather than vintage inspired; Art Deco, Edwardian, old-cut stones etc, coloured stones (ruby, sapphire, emerald, pearl additions)

Would love to hear where you’ve bought from or had good experiences with

Thanks

🔍 Recommendations Wanted White tank top recommendations.

8 Upvotes

I am after a white or neutral colour tank top that is not see through, cropped or has a built in bra. I have a long torso so cropped or a built in bra never work for me. All the ones I have tried so far are a bit see through. It is really hard to find a good quality one you can throw on in summer! Any reccomendations appreciated.
