@Anarkat oh man i fucking know that feeling, being the broad-shouldered bih i am. honestly eshakti is totally worth saving up for and trying out, i fuckin love those dresses.
@Eweish i keep trying to think of cool swarm critters but i know the truth and the truth is
i'm bear
delightfully, at 325 lbs with the weight range of sloth bears going up to around 310, i am a Big But Not Alarmingly Over-Large Bear (or maybe like. two black bears, depending)
@maple oh my god i feel like i've just been enlightened to a powerful worldly truth
i will be happy to make additional matching bedazzled she-wees for anyone else to go piss on his grave
if you have plumbing where she-wees are not needed, i would be happy to bedazzle you some sort of... sleeve? ruffle? collar? don't worry tho i'll make sure it's lined so you don't get unfortunate chafing
will also do bedazzled tp holder for those who do not think piss is enough
we're all in this together after all
will i get a chance to actually punch james watson (number one motherfucker on my 'punch on sight' list)? probably not at this point
however catch me bedazzling a she-wee so i can go piss on his grave after doing the macarena on it
@Anarkat (and honestly it's the sam vimes boots theory of economic fairness at work a bit, but eshakti makes great wardrobe builder pieces. totally worth saving up for.)
@Anarkat honestly i may be over the top evangelical about eshakti but like.
it's quality shit. custom made. you can choose the length, you can choose the sleeve type, you can choose the neckline... AND IT HAS POCKETS. BIG POCKETS!
and they're honestly not super expensive. yes, fast fashion does it cheaper, but if i want a nice dress i can go to macy's and be frustrated to tears and still get something for 70 dollars... or.... i can go to eshakti and get something that WORKS for 70 bucks.
I'M SORRY EVERYONE I'M JUST REALLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT PRETTY DRESSES FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS THEM....
having a dress that ACTUALLY FITS was my lifechanging moment of "oh shit... fashion is a thing I CAN PARTICIPATE IN TOO instead of just watching sadly"
also
eshakti dresses
have
pockets.
anyway https://www.sweetdisabled.com/sweetdisabled/recs-eshakti is the more thorough love letter i wrote to them, 10/10 highly recommend go get yourself a kickass pretty dress
@polychrome eshakti is fucking quality as well, i have a dress from them that's been just keeping on keeping on for like... fuck, 6 years at least? 7 years? i swear to god that cotton is like the cast iron of dresses. its embroidery is only now starting to show the occasional loose bit but otherwise, it's the fucking same.
totally rec them hands-down. they do custom sizes too for like 10 bucks (covered in the same fee for changing neckline, hemline/length, sleeve type, etc.)
@polychrome the good thing about lacemarket is that you're buying from (usually western/english-speaking, if not american etc.) people, so they'll be up-front with "it fit me and here's my vague measurements/it has shirring" etc.
the other oddball idea to put in your hat - eshakti is not lolita. but they do a lot of a-line dresses with customizeable necklines that i think you can *make* into casual lolita, especially if you're comfortable sewing on some lace after.
