The size chart shows UK to US. I thought Canada was the same as US without such bad vanity sizing. Is that not the case?0 -

I keep a stash in my car boot. Which if fine through the winter, then I have to think of somewhere else for the summer because it melts and makes a big chocolate mess in my car... which can be mistaken for something else.
This reminded me of an embarrassing story... a few years ago I went out shopping with my cousin. I was wearing white shorts. We got to the mall, wandered slowly around, got ice cream then finally went into a store. A sales lady came up to me and discreetly told me that I had something on my shorts. There was a brown stain right in the center of my butt. Turns out that a younger cousin had been in the car earlier, eating chocolate covered almonds. I sat on it and melted it.
I bought a new pair of pants in that store. I'm still paranoid about wearing white pants/shorts.
Oh no, how embarrassing. At least you were somewhere that you could buy new pants right away.
Hopefully you can laugh at it now.
I think I laughed about it then... thankfully I was having a confident day lol. What amazed me was how nobody else said anything. I was walking around the mall for about half an hour looking like I sharted in my white shorts and no one said anything... Okay, I may not want to be the one to point that out to a someone else either, but still.
Moral of the story: If you see someone with something on their clothes (or in their teeth), bring it to their attention. You can do it discreetly. They may be embarrassed at first, but in the end I'm sure they'd appreciate it!0 -

US and Canada sizes are the same. I believe UK is 4 larger (well, 2, because they jump by even numbers.0 -

Hmmm...I must be challenged. I'm looking at Modcloth and just seeing UK being specified. The "details" button is just giving me length.0 -
I can't say I've done much clothes shopping here in Canada, even though I've been living here for years!!! I think, though, that they are the same in terms of sizes. I ordered a medium dress from Boutique 1861 and was not able to fit into it... and accidentally broke one of the straps trying to get the thing off of me! So hopefully I am able to lose enough weight to be able to fit into it... that's one of my motivations!marissafit06 wrote: »WestCoastJo82 wrote: »I love so many of these dresses!

No problem, they do have adorable clothes!!! The trick is getting them before they are all sold out. They have a lot of promotions too, from what I've seenFluffySandwich wrote: »I'm trying to force myself into doing a paper and studying.

EDIT: Also, they are delivered in awesome packaging with a handwritten note saying something kind. Mine was along the lines of "You are going to look so beautiful in this dress!'' It's just nice to see that kind of thing sometimes :P0 -

Nevermind - I am challenged. "Size chart" in the bottom right corner. Sorry

Ok. I don't know which one to get, but hopefully bribing myself will help me finish this semester.
Yeah so I'm super procrastinating about work and I had to check out that site. Their line looks very similar to ModCloth (retro/vintage inspired) which features customer pics modeling the clothes so you can see what they look like on real people. You'd probably like their stuff too.
Hmm you may not thank me if you end up buying more clothes!
I bought this dress a while ago for a wedding: modcloth.com/shop/dresses/bead-it-dress-in-grey
I love this one but looks like it's only available in Large now: 1861.ca/collections/robes/products/shun-emerald
I like floral prints (but this has too much of a defined waist for me): http://1861.ca/collections/robes/products/lucretia
This is gorgeous if you can do strapless: http://1861.ca/collections/robes/products/novare

I am totally paranoid about wearing white pants/shorts/skirts!
I can't even handle white shirts. about 75% of my shirts are black or navy, the other 25% some sort of brighter blue or grey. I did buy one white t-shirt recently though, but I am paranoid when I wear it. Coffee drips don't show on dark shirts!!!!

Liking the look of those! Lucretia looks really gorgeous, but it's a bit over my price range! Who knows, though... maybe if I finish this school work.... 0 -
And we wonder why there are no guys in this thread...
Kidding. I love ModCloth. I wish I could afford to have my whole wardrobe redone w/ vintage style clothes.0 -
Update on the renewal.
I spoke to my husband about this last night because I was telling him about this thread (which I LOVE by the way) and the conversations about wanting to eat cake and wear a pretty dress. He said I really wanted to do a renewal for our 15th. I said I did too, but I cannot justify spending that kind of money when we have as much debt as we do and that money could go to bills. Not that it's selfish to do that, I can't really explain my logic.
We might wait for our 20 year to do the whole renewal thing. He DID tell me though, we should probably go ring shopping!
I did not argue.0 -
I'm actually really liking the Elinbet. http://1861.ca/collections/new/products/elinbet
Reminds me of a sexy sailor lady. It looks like it wouldn't be as nice looking on my small stature, though Oh how I wish I had long legs sometimes. Then I could buy that thing, get on a ship, and sail around the ocean all day. 0 -
My confession today is that I chew the skin around my nails on my fingers, when I'm not chewing them I pick them. It looks gross and it hurts but I can't stop doing it. I'm nearly 33 and have been doing it since I was about 11. Every now and again I stop it but then I always start up again. Nasty habit!
I do this too. My fingers look a mess, but I haven't been able to stop. I don't bite my nails as much as I used to, but I still pick at the skin. I've been doing it for as long as I can remember and it gets worse if I'm anxious or stressed. I'm embarrassed to let people see my hands.
And it doesn't help that I live in a dry climate so my skin is always rough (I try to use lotion, but it's not enough).
i peel layers of skin off of the bottoms of my feet and heels. sometimes i rip off too much, hit raw flesh then end up with a slight limp for a few days while it heals....
I do this too

Back to those books, Fluffy! You can earn that dress...
I have no idea why my last 3 links messed up.
I might have bought Shun if they had my size.

Super cute! I'm super tempted to get this one from ModCloth, although I have no particular reason to get a new dress: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/lakeside-libations-dress-in-crimson0 -
I would buy one of those cute dresses, but it would just hang in the closet!0
