I’d like to direct you all back to this post in case any of you missed it. Any suggestions?
Mah Fishie suggested checking out the companies that make swing/rockabilly clothing, which I did, but I still don’t know about the quality,
I still fall between sizes (depending on their size chart, my waist really throws things off regardless of how I compensate for the boobage) so something I could easily put darts in would be nice if it’s a dress… Rambling. Someplace with a fairly lenient return policy if it really and truly doesn’t fit and there is no way to fix that. Someplace that doesn’t *start* in the 50$ range… Tho I might be fucked for that.
Recent developments being what they are with my sewing machine means no sewing for me for a while it looks like. I can’t find anyplace locally to get a replacement part, and I am waiting to hear from the manufacturer, which they outright say could be as long as a week per communication. Imagine that, waiting a full week in the age of immediate gratification. [veruca voice] But I want it now daddy[veruca voice]
Hrm… I am also about to chop my hair off. Dunno how short, and I might actually go have it done. My usual means of doing this is to shave it to 1/4 inch and let it grow a few months. Wont do this time. Then I’m going to bleach it. Then I am going to wait until after Pesach to dye it blue. Why after you ask, when the family ought to be used to me by now? It’s the nice thing to do. I don’t really see them too often, and it has waited this long, it can wait a bit longer.
My senior year of high school I had shaved it, bleached it, and dyed the top half yellow, and “painted” an orange rising sun into the back, rays and all. It was awesome. Right before senior prom. I bought a wig. And thus began my obsession with fake hair.

So yah, please point me in a good direction or tried and true places to shop. Seriously, I have nothing against thrifting, MD/DC had some great thrift stores. Down here it’s all crap. I won’t venture down to Miami (or much farther south than Lauderdale) so even if there is anything down that way, I won’t see it.
