Boca Raton TMs, what did Ari buy yesterday?

I'm designing a dress that will have a substantial tiered skirt and a separate sheer blouse/overdress, and am considering making a corselet to attach the skirt to. The issue I'm having is that most corset patterns have a Victorian or similar silhouette, but I'm going for more of a 50s/New Look silhouette. Since the corselet will be lightly visible under the sheer overdress, I would like it to have that look as well. I'm just not sure exactly what I should be looking for. A cupped corset, I presume, but even those are too....round? Modern? I guess I'm asking if anyone has seen a cupped corset pattern that extends over the hips and has pointy tiddies 😂 thank you!!

Can someone help me with converting women's to men's sizing in Xeros? I reached out to their customer service to ask and they gave me a completely unhelpful bullshit answer about how it's approximate and this is what works for them or something.

I wear a woman's US 9.5 in Xeros which according to their chart is a EU 40. Their men's chart says an EU 40 (which is supposed to be the same across all charts!!!) is a US 7. But traditionally​ women's​ US sizing should be 1.5 sizes down, so I should wear a men's 8.

My favorite shoe is discontinued and I'm desperately trying to find more pairs so I'm trying to expand my used search to either women's or men's, but you can't return used pairs so I can't gamble on getting the men's 7 if it's going to be two sizes too small. 😤

Thank you!!!

Anyone have info on what was changed in the GIG this month? Really annoyed they make you sign off acknowledging you read the changes but don't tell you what the changes are. I don't have time to reread the entire handbook, especially not now that it's made up of infinite nesting menus instead of just text you can skim.
