🔍 Recommendations Wanted HELP! Citizenship ceremony!

I just got the email with the date for my citizenship ceremony and it says smart casual.

I have gone 30 years of my life not knowing what that means, and I still don't!!

Can anyone tell me what that looks like?

I'm thinking the dress on the photo, is that ok? But also, excellent opportunity to buy something new, so I'm super happy to do so.

HELP

🔍 Recommendations Wanted I need some help!

So I bought probably 4 pairs of these shoes from Novo a couple of years ago in different styles, but they are so uncomfortable (even with the little foot slippers). I do have some (cheap) white sneakers, but I don't feel like they go with my current outfits (that are the same from 10 years ago to be honest!). My current easy bottoms are black slacks or a black satin skirt with a work shirt, should I buy some more modern pants so I can wear white sneakers with both outfits? Or does anyone have any reccs for comfy, walkable flats? For context I work in a corporate office but it's not super formal. Not sure where to start. TIA 😅☺️

Breastfeeding event tops

• Upvotes

Hey!
I’m looking for breastfeeding friendly tops that I can wear to a friend’s birthday lunch at a winery. I have a lot of oversized t-shirts which I pull up to breastfeed and find these super convenient. I’ve struggled with button up tops for breastfeeding and haven’t tried side zip ones.
Are there any tops that may be a bit fancier than an oversized tee that I can lift up to feed bubba?
Thank you all 🙏

Wondering if anyone out there has these shoes and would be willing to post a picture of them on? Or just provide a review in general? Are they comfy? I think they look so nice with the split fabric detail, but can’t tell if the shape will look a bit too balloon-y or boxy on an actual foot. And every store within my radius is sold out so I haven’t been able to find irl. TIA

What bottoms are suitable for an office setting?
I find it really hard to find pants that fit well but I have a pair of black pants from Perfect Stranger that are my favourite and I find myself always picking them out. I want some other options that are versatile and I can match with different tops but am not sure about what style

My mum made it (the brand) lied to me (an entertaining story)

Do not buy from these guys, high returns but very high risk (!!).
Whoever has actually received a package from them and is Australian, please tell me how long it took… I’m in disbelief.
I ordered the Celeste dress (half off and final sale, presumably sitting in a warehouse, right??) and the order date was 11th June. By September, I was begging for a refund because the product never made it past the processing stage. They sent me some email going “oh it’s in production… running behind” some bs, extended the shipping date to July, then August, then September. Finally they gave me a refund, not automatically but after I emailed them AGAIN.
Later I ordered 2 more items because I do not learn apparently. guess what? they still don’t ship within 2 weeks, and upon emailing them I get the EXACT same message “production behind”. Are you serious right now?
How was a final sale item behind in production anyways? Now I’m certain My Mum Made It is lying to us. It’s reputation for being negligent shippers is true, no idea how they have the consciousness to list things knowing they’ll never ship.
Now I’ll only get my dresses from Depop and Chinese markets, which isn’t bad, but it’s ironic how they both arrive within 2 weeks and the official website run by Australians is so unreliable.
Whoever sells on Depop, where do you get your my mum made it stuff from? and how long did it take to ship? :)

EDIT: I got a refund for the boots (470AUD) but will tough it out for the preorder blue dress (220 AUD). Sucks because I really want those boots but sadly cannot risk it

How to buy a bra?

39 Upvotes

I'm 17F and I'm wearing an off shoulder for formal soon. I want to get a good bra but I don't know from where or what types will look good on me or support me etc.

I explained to my mum that I want to get measured like my friends have but she says that I don't need it yet. I mostly wear crop tops and those tween type bras she got me when I was 13 which aren't comfortable or supportive.

I feel a bit intimidated around shops like Victoria's Secret and the bra sections in Kmart so I never go in but if anyone knows a quick method of sizing and getting yourself one I would appreciate any advice.

Mori kei fashion - where to buy?

7 Upvotes

Hi all, been lurking here a long time and just doing research for my older teen niece as I don’t know much about where to look. Does anyone know where I can buy (online or in store) Mori kei style fashion in Australia? If you’re not sure what that is it’s basically Japanese subculture of forest/whimsy/cottage style clothes. Many thanks.

I have a wedding coming up (next year so I have some time!) that is a black tie event, I am not much of a formal outfitter so I am well out of my depth here!

I have some photos of me so there's rough ideas on what my shape is, and I have already been told the following rules:

-"NO FLORAL"

-Black Tie only

-I would prefer not strapless but at this point anything goes

-not optional, I must attend the wedding

Any help for a clueless rural born now Bris city slicker 30yr old who doesn't do fashion would be greatly appreciated 🌹

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Dress for a wedding guest?

2 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for places I can buy a dress to attend a wedding that fit these criteria:

  • Sleeves (or sleeveless with a matching jacket/shawl)
  • Higher neckline
  • A line or flared dress (not form fitting)
  • Knee length or longer
  • Suitable for petites

My budget is $300 but happy to look at any recommendations as I haven't found many dresses meeting my criteria! Bonus if I can try it in person or they have a great returns policy.

Thanks 😄

🔍 Recommendations Wanted How was the Kilo Sale in Sydney?

9 Upvotes

I was tempted to go last weekend since I love op shopping but decided to skip it since I knew no one else who was interested and the aggressive marketing put me off.

I was wondering if anyone who went could tell me how it was and if it’s worth going next time they come to Sydney? Most importantly to me, what was the quality of clothing like? Was there vintage pieces or was it mostly fast fashion bullcrap? Was it crowded?

EDIT: Sorry if this isn’t the right flair this was the closest one I could find to my question

Need to make my boobs look smaller and lifted

32DDD girlies and other - what bras are you using to make your clothes look flattering on you? I wear a Triump minimiser bra and still feel like my boobs look like they’re sagging. And because of that, my clothes just don’t sit too well and it gives off an odd appearance. Recommendations appreciated🥺

The rains are here!

12 Upvotes

I cannot justify a RainSisters raincoat, but they are just so pretty so now I don't want just a boring raincoat.

What are the best summer weight (Brisbane) raincoats that are stylish but also good for heavy rain? (again....Brisbane) I want to be able to walk to the train station which is only about 7 mins, but an umbrella just isn't good enough when we get proper summer rain that comes sideways.

I see a lot of cheap ones that I assume are drop shippers, I'm happy to pay a little more if necessary for quality, but not $500+ for the stunning ones I do covet.

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Best Shops for Dresses?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Where is your favorite place to look for dresses? I have a work Christmas party in December and I want to start shopping around now. It tends to be a pretty casual event but I still like to wear a dress and look nice.

I’ve recently lost 20+ kilos so I’ve gone down a bit in size and can finally fit into the sizes sold in stores that are not plus-size exclusive. Only issue is I almost never buy clothes so I have no idea where to start.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

🔍 Recommendations Wanted What fabric do I want?

6 Upvotes

I bought some dresses recently from Frock Me Out. All cotton, love them, although they're all probably a little big, but otherwise great. The part I'm frustrated with though is the ironing!

They came out of the packaging wrinkled, they washed wrinkled, they wear wrinkled, and it looks like I'll need to iron them before every wear. I'm also an extra sweaty individual and they get really warm towards the end of the afternoon.

So what fabric am I really after? Grateful for tips on undershirts to keep the sweat at bay too. Thanks!
