What went wrong with the dress?

I got this dress stitched by a tailor but the fabric is bunching up on the sides. Is this fixable, and if so what should be done?

The feel something is up with the shoulders are well. The sleeves are dropping.

Fabric: Cotton-polyester blend.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Getting conflicting info from IndiGo on 30kg baggage allowance for Mumbai–Manchester flight. Can I carry 30kg in one bag?

I have an IndiGo direct flight from Mumbai to Manchester next week. I contacted their customer service regarding the check in baggage allowance to confirm whether I can carry my 30 kg allowance in a single bag and I have received three different responses so far which has caused confusion.

In the first call, I was informed that I must split the baggage into two bags of 15 kg each, and that if any bag exceeds 15 kg, I would need to pay excess charges at the airport. This was contrary to what I understood from the website.

On the second call, I was told that I can carry the entire 30 kg in a single bag and that the earlier information provided was incorrect. I was also informed that only a laptop bag is allowed as an additional 3 kg and not a ladies handbag. I requested an email confirmation for clarity, but the request was declined. I was told the call is recorded and that I could instead email customer support if needed. So I did.

The the email stated that a single checked bag must not exceed 23 kg even if the total allowance is 30 kg. This added further confusion.

I called again, I was told that I can carry 30 kg in one piece. I was also directed to the IndiGo website baggage allowance page, which states: "Check-in Baggage: Allowance of 20 kg / 25 kg / 30 kg is applicable per person (2 pieces only, not exceeding more than 32 kg per baggage), basis the sector. For Double or Triple seat bookings, extra 10 kg baggage allowance. Additional charges may apply for excess baggage."

I was also informed that I can carry an additional 3 kg for hand baggage which can be either a laptop bag or a purse.

I would really appreciate clarification from anyone who has recently traveled internationally with IndiGo to the UK or Manchester, as this has become quite confusing. I have already packed and prepared, and receiving conflicting information like this is quite frustrating. This is my first international trip.

Thank you.

How do these jeans look on me?

I am 5'3 in height. 38" bust 32" waist and 42" hips, 25" thighs

I've always worn skinny jeans, except for one pair of flared jeans. But I have never liked how tight skinny jeans feel on me so I decided to try a different style and bought a pair of Levi's 94 baggy straight mid rise jeans.

I've always struggled to find jeans that fit well and look good on me because how off my lower body ratio is.

What do you think? Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.

Traveling to the UK for the first time, I don't know what clothes to bring

I will be in the UK for 3 weeks, and 10 days are dedicated to sightseeing. I will be travelling in 2 weeks, and I am confused as hell. I pulled out all the clothes that I own, and it turns out nothing really goes well with anything. Most of the clothes have never been worn.

How can I style and pair my existing clothes? What should I get rid of, and what would be a great addition? I will be going in July, so it will be warm, as I have been told. Scotland will be slightly colder.

I don't have a flattering body shape either, so please suggest what would look good on me. I am thinking of getting a pair of denim jeans, but I am finding it hard to find one that fits my body and is within a reasonable price range. I am also thinking of adding basic black and white T-shirts. I am not sure about the denim skirt, to be honest it makes me look like a little girl. I am not sure whether to keep it or not. I am thinking of returning the jeans in 15 due to the bad fit. The trousers in 17 were an impulse buy.

I’m also very mindful of how much I spend on clothes. I’m trying to spend as little as possible because I’m saving for the trip. But I am willing to spend if necessary. 

I will be travelling to London, Yorkshire, Bath, and Edinburgh. I am most excited about Scotland, and I have been told the temperature can drop to 15°C.

Please help this confused soul. I clearly don't understand fashion, as you can probably tell. Every piece in my wardrobe was collected over the years simply because I liked it.

All are cotton, and one top is linen (18) 

Thank you
