Making an 1860s ballgown but on a weight loss journey

Hello! I am entering a cosplay contest recreating this 1860s Cinderella by Claire Hummel and want to make it as historically accurate as possible, but im on a weight loss journey. It isn't due until March 8th 2027 but I want to plan as much as I can from now and wanted to ask, are there historically accurate ways that victorians made their ballgown or other dresses adjustable? I know they had techniques such as extra large seam allowances, would something like that work? Any ideas and resources about 1860s ballgown would be amazing! While I do have the Truly Victorian patterns on standby as a backup I want to be able to pattern draft ​so any resources would be great. Thank you all!

Just got my badge! Was wondering when do registrations open for the masquerade?

This will be my second WonderCon and I want to enter the masquerade but the website shows information for 2026. Do I fill out the same form, or is there someone to email? I'd love to compete! Thank you all!

I hate my mom

I hate her so much. Im 26 F and unfortunately stuck living at home and it's killing me. All day today she's spent it venting to my uncle about how im such a train wreck even though I'm starting masters school and working. The one time I made the mistake of venting about how sad and lonely it is being perpetually single, she gave me a list of reasons as to why I'm unlovable. Everything I do pisses her off. Everything I say is the wrong thing. Nothing is ever enough. I worked my ass off this summer to get through anatomy and get an A and instead of being proud, she just said I need to work harder on finding an occupational therapist to shadow. Ive been trying to find one for months but every time I try they say no.

Why can't I be good enough for her? Why can't she see how hard I try? Why can't she see that im burned out and utterly destroyed? She wonders why I have no self confidence when she was the one calling me fat since the age of five then wonders why I ballooned up to 300 pounds. Ive dropped to 223 but ive been stuck there for months now because of stress eating and how stressful everything in life has become and instead of any hugs or kindness all I get is "youre a trainwreck". I hate her. I wish i could afford to move out. The second I get an OT job and move out, she's out of my life.

I'm sure this gets asked a lot so feel free to let me know if i am wrong but can someone tell me the best websites for jobs when trying to pivot careers?

I currently work in Applied Behavior Analysis and I HATE it. it's an exhausting field working with kids with special needs and dealing with their behaviors while your supervisors micromanage and tell you how much you suck. I want to find a part time job that preferably doesn't involve kids for a while as I start my masters degree but I am having ZERO luck. Due to the bulk of my experience being working with kids, the only recommendations I get are ABA jobs or tutoring. I don't know what to do, or where to start looking for other jobs. Should I use Indeed? Is there another site? If anyone knows what to do please let me know because I am frustrated and at a loss. I was promised a job in my local school district by a principal I met last year but she couldn't give me the job due to a massive hiring freeze and has now not responded to my last two emails. What do I do?

Hi! If this is the wrong place feel free to tell me but I'm confused. I'm trying to make a bead purse and for some reason it keeps curling on me!

I'm using 8mm beads and 0.6mm fishing line. What am I doing wrong? The tutorial said to pull tight, am I pulling too tight? What do I do?

Hi! Have there been any updates on the hiring freeze?

So for context, I am not an LAUSD contract employee but worked as a BII for a SPED child at a school and the principal offered me a job on staff next year. However, in late May she told me she couldn't guarantee me the supervisor aide job anymore because of the hiring freeze and that we basically had to wait and see. She said if the position isn't affected by the freeze then the job is still mine.

​

My question is, has there been any updates? I check the LAUSD job site daily but haven't seen anything and the principal emailed yesterday to say she hasn't heard anything either. Is there anything I can do or is it just wait and pray like hell while applying to other places? I want this job because the short hours would mean I would be able to do masters school but so far it's been a scary time. I plan to quit my toxic job in July and would love to have a backup plan ASAP. Any updates or advice you guys have would be awesome!

Went to the Marilyn Monroe exhibit in LA today and figured you'd all appreciate the photos!

It was a great time and I definitely want to make one of these costumes for myself!

Every time i finish my period i get sharp stabbing pain on the right side and it sucks!

I can feel the damn muscle pulsing even under the heating pad. I took 3 ibuprofen tablets but it isnt helping and this happens every time. What can i do? I cant physically handle the pain of pap smears and the one time a doctor did an MRI on my uterus they found nothing. I am so tired of e ery gyno telling me to take ibuprofen. Is there anything I can do besides ibuprofen and trying to not cry?

Finding good wifi

Hi! Soooo I was silly and forgot that one of my summer classes starts tomorrow. While it is 100% online, I do want to make sure i know where reliable wifi spots are in case the professor has any coursework I need to do that is unavoidable that day. Does anyone have solid wifi connection places they go to in case I have a lecture while at the park?

Hi! I got my DJI Mic mini with mobile adapter yesterday, how do I know if it is working while recording in tiktok?

I got this because it was what my friend says she uses to record tiktoks. I am not very tech savvy, how do I know for sure if it is recording while in tiktok? My friend doesn't do voice overs, so it apparently works. Is there a way to make sure?

Hi! Does anyone know a good wholesale printer/ manufacturer for customized stationary items like to-do lists?

Hi! Does anyone know a good wholesaler for customized stationary designs such as to-do lists? I am currently setting up my website and along with my crocheted items I want to sell some more affordable things such as to-do lists that I designed but I don't know a good place to get them printed. I was hoping to make them the kind where it has a post-it note stick top. Does anyone have any good sources? Thank you!

Can anyone help me? Shopify just says "Tap to Pay Unavailable" every time I try to set it up

Hi! I am in the process of setting up my shopify store. It says the next step is to set up Tap to Pay, but every time I try to do that the screen says "Tap to pay unavailable". Is this a shopify error? Has anyone else had this problem? I have a tap to pay card reader set up and the POS app. Why is it doing this?

Hi! My store was made yesterday and now I have to appeal. Why did this happen?

UPDATE! I got my shop back! They reinstated my access. I will fix everything when I have laptop access.

All I did was upload my products from my Etsy store to a new one. I used to have a different store with them but I shut it down on my own, it was never terminated. I sell crocheted handmade items so I do not know why it was flagged. What do I do? I submitted the appeal but it is Memorial Day weekend here in the USA so it may take whatever team handles this extra long to get back to me if they are in the USA. I haven't made any sales yet and I was using my own personal yarn stash so I do not have any reciepts to submit. I filled the appeal a few minutes ago. Do I contact customer service? What happens now? Do I need to look into a website builder and ditch Shopify? Am I totally screwed?

Spent 5 damn hours baking a cake yesterday for mother's day today and almost no one ate it

Worked my ass off to make a death by chocolate cake and basically had to beg my annoying ass relatives to eat it. Then on top of it, my annoying ass mother lectured me about my "bad attitude" aka being upset visibly and said my attitude is why im single at 26 and get ghosted. Oh and my damn period started! Woohoo!! Fucking hate this fuck ass family and I'm never baking shit for them again.

The pattern never gave me a hook size so I started with a 4.5 mm and then when I noticed the wrinkling I switched to 5. This will be the back panel of a pillow but can I block this with water? It's a gift so I want it to look good but I am running out of time so frogging it is not an option. Please help!
