Hey everyone. I was recently rewatching Pirates of the Caribbean (I am a huge fan) and I have noticed how wonderful the three leads look next to each other and how they seem to complement each other.

Unsurprisingly, Depp and Bloom share the same ID, while Keira is the complete opposite!

I love how they chose two Romantic family men and a Dramatic woman for the movie. It looks extremely magnetic on screen.

Usually, I like couples of the same family but the opposite also worked!

I also think that it's interesting how despite Jack and Will being completely different characters you can see a similarity between the two of them appearance-wise.

Yet Elizabeth is a revolutionary "damsel in distress".

Do you think they "knew"? Not their kibbe clearly, but maybe something similar?

I finally found a top in the desired style (with a somewhat stretchy fabric) but the smallest size fits very well above the bust. Below and also partly at the waist it’s too tight. I tried to size up, and now the bust is fine, the waist somewhat as well, but the armholes get too big and it doesn’t fit well above the bust at all. In theory I could buy this top, deconstruct it, change the princess seams and use it as a sewing pattern. The question is however if I should abandon this style altogether? I sense that there is something wrong, but I often find that sizing up and down doesn’t always help as my bust here is larger than a size S. I can’t really explain the thing with the area above the bust because it’s not only about size as such, more about that it requires a certain ”tightness” in that area.

I know that the pictures aren’t perfect and I don’t know my ID but I’m 5’4.

If I go by my bust-waist-hips clothes are often made for a larger body (but not a larger bust-waist-hips). Hard to explain.

Here are a few summer fits I liked well enough. I work with SN, Winter in colour seasons and am 5'4 (163cm). I am not crazy about about the black tank top - I think the outfit would look better with more delicate straps! All pics are taken at chest height and about 15ft away to account for distortion.

Thoughts?

Dress from Lulu’s — allowing for width, soft flowing fabric, waist emphasis

One of the films recommended in the book for the Carrot and Cake game is 'The Women', but I couldn't find it to stream, however I happened upon a 1956 remake in technicolor called 'The Opposite Sex', which apparently had some differences in the story, but also had a lot of fun and extravagant costumes for the actresses, a couple of which were Kibbe-verified as well. The main part was played by June Allyson (unverified, but maybe SN or SG?), and also featured Joan Collins (verified TR), Joan Blondell (verified SN), Ann Sheridan (unverified C/N fam?), Dolores Gray (unverified D/SD?), and my favourite Agnes Moorehead (unverified D) in a smaller part. I captured a few costumes, and the film is here on YT if anyone wants to have a look.

TLDR: Need full outfit help to compliment my body but also match my style (tops, shoes, pants, dresses, skirts, purses, jewelry, everything!)

It’s time for me to get some new clothes and I want to use this as an opportunity to dress for my body and colouring! I’m a plus size soft natural with a deep autumn/winter palette (slightly warm neutral olive leaning but silver looks best on me) and wanted some suggestions.

My style inspo is like a soft goth/whimsigoth/granola goth meets dark academia/fairycore/dark cottagecore?? (Pics for example)

I’m struggling most with not looking frumpy or older than I am. Tops are also a big struggle for me because I’m a crew neck girl but have come to terms with the fact that I do look WAY better in something more open so I don’t look as heavy in my shoulders. I get hot easily so layers are great.

My budget best aligns with thrifted, shien, old navy or other cheap options available in Canada.

Almost all of my clothes are black but brining in more jewel tones is also a goal and I love LOTR and fantasy inspired looks so browns and earthy tones would be great too.

PLZ HELP!

I'm a SG and I know SN is a very close sister season. But do you think they styled Rachel green in more SG lines or SN? I think she'd pull either off regardless, but I'm obsessed with her style and her outfits are the outfits I lean towards and compliment my body type.

Edit** linked a few more dresses I’ve tried

I’ve tried on so many dresses and I’m having the hardest time finding what works for me.
I’ve been told I’m DC but I can’t quite find the right style. I feel like everything either looks too youthful or way too dressy and stuffy, no in between.
I’m 5’3 so I need petite and I need to find brands that don’t do vanity sizing.

Spaghetti straps seem like they should work but I somehow look so broad through the shoulders when I’m really not. I can’t seem to get the flirty, feminine, effortless look I’m going for.

I’ve posted these in other groups here so if you’re seeing them again, I’m sorry!

I would love advice, links, etc!

In line with the news of her wedding, I'd like to make a post about Christina Chang, who I think is probably D with an amazing style and fun personality.

CelebHeight listed her as 5'7", while IMDb listed her as 5'10".

Let's say you're 5'8" so one of the tall types.

Its not possible to have curve, width and vertical all three at once, is it?

For if you had a lot of width, you'd need a bigger shirt, so your chest would probably automatically fit without accommodating curve. Am I getting this correctly?

Please don't downvote me if I accidentally said something wrong, I'm just asking

I’ve seen SD and FN for her. She often leans towards SD recs but I saw her in a Tshirt in the newest Ted Lasso. Does this help us at all?

Which top looks best on me? Thank you?

Exploring soft classic, I'm 5ft5.

Keep getting natural but when I wear the clothes it feels wrong.

Thanks!
