Not quite fashion per se, but I’ve just moved into a house and need to buy an entirely new set of towels! (Probably black in colour).

Basically, where are you getting good quality towels that aren’t $40+ each? I’m on a budget but don’t want crappy $3 Kmart ones that don’t last. I I hate fluffy towels that pill and shed fluff for the next ten washes. Honestly I love a good crunchy plain cotton towel lol.

All suggestions very welcome!!

Tldr: Please give me some practical advice, do you buy the bigger size to fit the waist and have the looser fabric at bust and hip tailored?

Hi All, I haven't bought nice clothes in a loooooong time (because covid and the continued work from home meant my daily uniform was t-shirt and sweatpants) but I have a new job that actually requires me to travel a fair bit and meet people face to face. So I'm updating my wardrobe with a few staples but sizing charts are weird. Across the board according to most measurement charts (bust, hips) I'm an AUS size 12, BUT my waist is deceptively large at 94cm (endo inflammation probably). This means I have to buy AUS size 18, because I have a preference for tight fitting cottony garments. Am I the problem or are our collective sizing just a tad out of touch, does anyone else have this issue - if you do how do you shop? A lot of the brands I like are only online.

Edit: tldr

Hey! I've thought over this one for a while!
I'm on a journey to living as my truest self, and that means that at times, I appear as a (feminine ☺️) guy, shopping in stores primarily aimed at for women.

Now, firstly I am SUPER conscious about how busy the shop I chose to go into is, this is primarily due to anxiety more than anything else, but also a respect of how others may feel.

When it comes to trying on stuff, I will always ask if it's okay that I do, and if there's no issues. Which has seemed okay so far!

I guess what I'm looking for is, as I'm getting more confidence and comfort in me (yay 🙌🏻) what's the generally feel about this situation? I mean, they're obviously still separate cubicles, but we're all pretty body conscious when trying clothes on! 😭

As someone who shops alone, I guess I'm probably walking around overthinking everything, bit I'd love anyone's views.

Hope I've explained that okay? 🫣

I am in search of the highest crew neck tops to wear under jumpers. I love a cosy knit this time of year but my skin is unbelievably sensitive due to a medical condition and I cannot tolerate any fibres touching my neck or chest (arms are ok). I can’t tolerate any wool including ultra fine merino and cashmere. So I’m looking for cotton, bamboo or synthetic fibres.

Just because I’m a fussy b I also can’t stand the feeling of skivvies/turtle necks. I have some collared shirts for under jumpers but not always wanting that look.

Please help and thank you!!

Hi everyone, I'm 6f tall and on the lookout for some flared leggings with a true long inseam! Anyone have any recommendations? I just had to return some from elite eleven, nowhere near long enough. Looks like LSKD have some that are a bit longer but I'm not convinced it's enough.

Popflex have a 37 inch inseam which seems like a dream, has anyone bought from this brand and can speak to the quality? I'm a bit hesitant to pull the trigger as they're not cheap, and would have to send internationally to return if they're not right. Thank you!

I've seen a bit about issues for buyers, or blocked accounts, etc.

But for those that've signed up for the platform and listed things - how are you finding selling? i.e. quick sales, worth moving across from Depop?

Where are most of you shopping now? Everyone is so well dressed but I do not see many people out and about shopping.

What is your secret? If you are shopping online, where?

Where are you all getting like affordable socks from? Everything I currently have is thin or thinning. I just want some nice mid-calf socks I can wear all day that aren’t like $20 a pair 😂😭

Edit:
Thank you so very much all of you! This community is so wonderful ❤️

Unfortunately due to pcos and endo I’m really prone to bloating and really struggle in the jeans department. I’m in search of a bit of a unicorn pair of jeans that have some stretch in the to accommodate for bloating. Prefer not to spend too much but I’m open (even better if I can source some second hand)

Hi,

I’m looking for recommendations for plus-size/size inclusive clothing outside the big brands and department stores.

I’m especially interested in well-constructed basics and and a bit colour.

I am a size 22-28 depending on brand and style and a classic hourglass with large breasts (24H) relatively small waist and big hips and thighs so I find a lot of plus-size stuff isn’t super well cut for my body.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jac

Edit: spelling

Every year I think I’ll only get good quality things for my kids who are aged 19 and 22 female. But I always leave it too late and go out panic buying crap!

I want stockings for them that have good things that are nice

One is very into glamour and is very feminine and loves her little dresses and and makeup and the other is also glamorous but in more of a hippie fashion and only likes natural fibres etc

Any recommendations at all for items under $50? I want to go in person if possible but will order online too

What pre loved clothes do Australians buy

Do Australians prefer new to pre loved

Just wondering as I haven't had much luck selling pre loved clothes in Australia as opposed to whilst living in NZ or UK

Does anyone know of COMFORTABLE ballet flats that aren’t ugly? I’m specifically looking for smth that has a small front if that makes sense, like preferably I want it to cover my toes that’s all (does that make sense?)
Also I want smth with a round front and a bow
