AITA for being annoyed at small australian business?

AITA for being annoyed at small australian business?

Okay so I ordered a top from a small aussie clothing brand. Their website and instagram says these orders are dispatched the next business day. I ordered on Thursday 14 may and after a week (this morning) there was still no dispatch update.

I emailed asking if there was an issue and they apologised and said they had lots of orders, are a small team, and delays were partly because they took time off for their birthday. They said they’d dispatch it today.

This also happened with my previous order like I understand small businesses get busy, but if dispatch times are often longer, shouldn’t they update customers instead of advertising next business day dispatch?

AITA for being annoyed?

Suave activewear apology

Did anybody else see that bland emotionless apology re filming someone at the gym and making a mockery of them? Like im actually so upset and angry that an active wear brand can publicly shame someone for having a red hot go at the gym. Absolute feral scum behaviour.

Uniqlo XXL Sizing

If you wear an XXL in Uniqlo what “standard” size/s do you wear? I’m looking at the thermal leggings and wondering if they’d fit a size 18? I’ve looked at the product measurements and they are below mine - but hoping the fabric has some stretch to it? TIA

Wedding guest dress?

Sorry to be~ that~ person.

Cousin is getting married next april and so excited rushed out to buy a dress before invites have even been sent out. In love with this dress... Dion Lee courtesy of depop. Hasnt even arrived yet. No idea of dress code but probabaly semi-formal to cocktail. I wore a short dress to her sisters wedding and that was totally fine.

Thoughts? I adore it but concerned a little about colour, being too "attention seeking" with how short the front is (though my cousins arent conservative at all but some more elderly family members are) and potentially too formal depending on the dress code (especially if it ends up being a beach wedding which i suspect it may)

LOVE- literally the whole dress. Love Dion Lee (rip). Rarely get a chance to dress up. Long sleeves also a must to hide tattoos from elderly family members.

Please give me your thoughts!

Do these shoes make my feet look humongous?

As per my last post, I tried on some Nb 327s!
Not sure if they make my feet look huge. What do you think?

cotton on jeans are all too big, jay jays jeans?

I'm tired of jeans not fitting, my favorites so far were from cotton on but the smallest size they have in stores doesn't fit. Even the low rises gap. Can anybody recommend brands that have true XS/XXS jeans? Jay Jays seems to run small in other things I've got there so maybe their jeans will fit, are they any good quality-wise tho?

High quality thick long sleeve basics

I am a size 10-12 and a 10GG and struggle with basic tops and them showing bras digging in and looking lumpy etc

I have actually found the Kookai ones very good perhaps double layered? The current colour range is limited however and I have been looking for pre-loved even but not finding a lot

I am going to try some on tomorrow at Chadstone but basically looking for scoop/v-neck/boat neck single colour long sleeve tops that are not super long just long enough to tuck into jeans

Reccs particularly stores at Chaddy as I would like to try on

Vietnamese tea ceremony

Can I please borrow the hive mind?

I got invited extremely last minute to a tea ceremony happening tomorrow as part of a Vietnamese wedding celebration.

Google says wear something modest but formal, and probably not black, or solid red or solid white.

I don’t have time to get anything new, so please help me choose what to wear!

Dress 1 is what I’d wear if it weren’t May, turquoise floral silk, spaghetti straps but doesn’t show heaps of cleavage or leg.

Dress 2 is sky blue, midi length, but not truly formal😬

Dress 3 is red and white but it’s a pattern, so I’m unsure if this is respectful of the bride or not. Would probably have to put a cream cardigan over it, as again, it’s May.

Dress 4 is what I usually wear to last minute formal events— a conservative black sheath dress, all the way to the middle of the knee.

Dress 5 is navy blue, below the knee but body con and a bit booby tbh.

Dress 6 is more smart casual, but it’s burgundy and modest.

And just because I’m desperate, I wondered if a wool mini with black tights, tall boots, and a nice sweater?

It feels like I can choose 2 of: formal, colorful, and modest, but I’m struggling to achieve all 3😅

Super duper high rise jeans (size 18, slim leg)

I am trying to find jeans I can actually wear.

Criteria:
- super super high waisted (5cm or so above belly belly button)
- size au18
- slim straight leg
- full length
- ideally indigo, but flexible on colour

In summer I love the Decjuba Becky Straight Leg jeans (photo attached). They may not look it in the photo, but they are super duper high rise. I have a very long torso, and most “high rise jeans” sit at our under my belly button. And I’m looking for jeans that are at least 5cm above my belly button. The are a slim straight leg (I really don’t want anything wider than these). But they are cropped, and I need a full length jean for winter.

Please help.

I have searched on chat gpt, reddit, iconic, m&s and haven’t found anything that comes close to meeting my criteria. Or if I have, I’ve purchased it and it isn’t high waisted enough (eg m&s)

Bootcut jeans

I'm after blue bootcut denim jeans (low or mid rise)

I wear the black lowrise bootcut from Zara ($69.00) and just got the blue pair delivered yesterday. A hole has now formed in the knee (the blue demin had a grating on the denim and the black more traditional demin look)

Who else is selling bootcut jeans blue low or midrise

Please let me know

On a side note do you think Zara will refund?

The oversized fit apocalypse

Is it just me or is anyone else fatigued by the shapeless, oversized, boxy trend that has dominated the fashion scene for what feels like years now?

I personally feel like that fit only compliments model proportions. When I try to wear it, I look like a child playing dress up in their dad’s clothes…

I’m finding it so hard to find blazers/jackets that don’t;

A) sit half way down my thigh
B) have shoulders the width of an American football uniform

Can’t wait for feminine tailoring to come back in style 😭

Elite N Titled - scammy activewear brand

I honestly had never heard of them until recently and it seems like most people who review or post about them are apart of their 'brand ambassador' program. My experience with them so far has been:

  • They are pretty expensive for such a small, unknown brand. Considering elite eleven or muscle republic (which are mUCH bigger brands) are either the same price or even cheaper????? for similar products, I have no idea how they justify the price which also leads to....
  • Their material quality definitely isnt as premium as other brands I have. Some of the designs are cute but it does feel like almost dropshipping level quality. I'm fine buying aliexpress activewear and having poorer quality material but for $60 a sports bra its kind of ridiculous.
  • They only offer returns for a voucher and this process is ridiculously slow. If you paid for shipping to you, you also have to pay to ship it back as well so you lose a lot and its not worth. I also feel that these brands that dont offer refunds do so because they know their products do not hold up.
  • Worst of all, they have really dodgy business practices. They were running a weekend long promo 2 months ago where all their sports bras were 'discounted by x%'....but they raised the price of the product during the sale so the discount looked bigger. Scummy behaviour

Has anyone else had a bad experience with this brand?

I do use the bras I got from them since I cant return them, but I certainly wouldn't buy from them ever again. For the price point I'd recommend going to a more established brand for better quality and funcitonality.

Bared Footwear steals designs from Hereu

I noticed this a few years ago, but wanted to share here. There are shoes from Bared Footwear that have a striking resemblance to designs from luxury Spanish goods brand Hereu, known for their leather shoes and bags. In my opinion they are too similar to have not been copied. The photos show Hereu shoes first and Bared second.

The terrible state of leather handbags

Today I went to Chadstone which is a big deal for me since I live 1.5hrs away at a minimum on the other side of the city, to potentially browse some posh shops and look for a leather handbag in the $300 - $800 range.

Boy was I disappointed in the quality I cam across! Is it just me, or is leather shit now? A whole bunch of bags i see influencers pushing were so disappointing. They LOOK nice, but feel dreadful.

Vestirsi - felt cheap, the suede felt extra cheap. There was one that felt nice the Ava structured Tote - It wasn't the right bag for me, but actually felt like leather. I was so bummed on this one, I really liked the idea of the Bella bag, and the Eden bag.

Reh Studios - ugh ugh ugh. So disappointing. They're a clear rip off of the Balenciaga Rodeo bag, but total plastic feel.

Saben - just meh.

Deadly Ponies - there was one bag that felt nice and lux, but again not the right bag for me.

It was all so underwhelming.

I did actually rate some of the Oroton though. Which suprised me, since I see them as a "my Mum's handbag brand" so I will think more on if that could work for what I want (something big enough to put my camera gear in, a water bottle, phone, lipstick, etc).

The strathberry bags also looked decent but were inside a glass case so i didn't touch them.

Then I went to Hermes and bought a scarf instead. At least I know it's quality 😉

When did Longchamp become so chic? Help me choose

Has anyone been eying them lately? I'm in love with their new vibe.

I'm trying to decide between the Le Pliage Xtra Wave and Mocha Colour. Also, has anyone owned an xtra before? Does the leather wear well? Ta x
