I've had good luck with fleece lined tights. They're a bit thicker so don't squeeze as much. The waist band is a bit more like a leggings waistband. I checked mine, but I've cut the tag out, and I don't recall the brand.
Edit: Something like this. I got the footed ones in a two pack of purple and black. They've lasted a few years. https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-womens-fleece-lined-tights
Have you looked at True and Co? I have a few of their wireless styles - basically after Covid, I swore off underwires, lol.
Super soft, very stretchy, I am a 40Dd and I get all day support. It does have soft cups but they are removable and I prefer to take them out.

Ooooh! The colors in this are gorgeous!
‘Critique’ wise - I wonder what adding a necklace would do for it? Initial thought was the single pearl on a thin silver chain one I personally have lol. BUT then I was thinking something kinda chunky and funky. Then trying to find a link for an example was not helpful lol so I landed on this example instead of a kind of layered jeweled thing!
It's two stockings layered, both are from Amazon!
Leg Avenue Women's Christmas... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LZH774N?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share (This links to the blue snowflake one. Unfortunately these stockings have a lighter nude tone to them, so if you have darker skin than mine I'm not sure how well they'll work 😞)
RSLOVE Women Sparkle Fishnet... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09WHZNY8B?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share (This links to the sparkly white fishnet one.)
I would get a professional shoe stretcher b4 u give up on those fabulous beauties :)
I'm in China, so I bought it here. But here is the link for the same one on Amazon :)
In this case I would wear an Evil Queen dress from Once Upon a Time.
You won’t likely have time to order this for tomorrow, but I have made my shorter dresses more office appropriate with a dress extender. Basically, it adds an extra ruffle of fabric at the base of your dress and gives you a good extra 4-5”+.
THIS. However, my unpopular opinion: I HATE pockets on most of my clothes. I'm wide through the hips and I have massive weightlifter's quads so pants pockets get all bunched up and weird and don't lie nicely and I can't put anything in them anyway. I stitch the openings shut and remove the pockets. Boob pockets on blouses (ie camp shirts) just piss me off for no logical reason. I sewed the pockets shut on my vintage blazer because the openings started getting droopy and ruined the lines. I have two pair of cargo pants - those pockets are okay, but I don't like shizz banging against my legs so I rarely use them. I don't normally carry a purse. I have this, which totally works for me - fits my cards, cash, etc and my mobile phone fits perfectly in the outer zipped pocket (an example of a pocket I like!): https://smile.amazon.com/Zoppen-Travel-Wallet-Documents-Zipper/dp/B07PRJ668Q?ref\_=ast\_sto\_dp&th=1&psc=1
Here’s a very similar one!!
Found it on Amazon— it’s a wrap crop top. This is the closest one I can find now, it’s been a couple years :)
Love this top. I’ve made a few using this pattern but now I need more in solid colors. Thanks for the inspiration.
Maybe something structured, like a blazer in outfits 8 and 9 in this blog post?
Or a mini-dress? I could also see pairing them with a hi-lo top, a bit like this one, especially to show off the blue flower pattern of the second set of shorts.
I think a poofier skirt would look cute and balance the silhouette. Maybe something like this!
I shop at their sister brand Athleta quite a bit, so I could definitely see sale pricing being a thing that allows you to get some steals. I think I'm going to take the plunge and start browsing poshmark for BR!
To consolidate the number of comments you have to search for, here's the link to the watches I bought! They're pretty plain, for a 22mm watch (I think the apple watch is 38 or 40mm? Can't quite remember.)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082VSH9NN?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
​
I really like them so far! They've been great, easy to wash real quickly after exercising and it's pretty comfortable throughout the day!
For anyone wondering: this is where I got the belt!
Almost all of my clothes are thrifted but the belt was a last-second renaissance costume purchase which is why it’s from Amazon. Idk I just felt the need to clarify that my wardrobe isn’t from Bezos
It's Simplicity 8571, View A - with modifications.
To upcycle the jeans, I had to shorten all the pieces to get them to fit on the legs of old 30x32" size jeans. It took four pair to make the apron, but I was using my BF's truly worn out pants that had holes/thin spots in places and walked-off hem heels. It might only take three pair if all the legs are in good shape. I also had to turn the large side piece of the apron into three pieces. I also made the pocket quite a bit bigger, made two instead of just one, and placed them in a more useful (and flattering when stuffed with things) place.
I've made a couple of aprons from this pattern. It's not really "simple" but not difficult either. There's quite a few pieces and it takes some time to cut out and sew up nice.
Amazon! It doesn't appear to be in stock anymore but there are similar ones in the same print so it is probably around on another seller's shop.
Unless otherwise specified always Tevas 😂 these ones to be pacific https://www.amazon.com/Teva-Hurricane-Sport-Sandal-Black/dp/B071GC2VFF/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2XI9HQRVOSWHI&keywords=teva%2Bsize%2B14&qid=1654186635&sprefix=teva%2Bsize%2B14%2B%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
I struggle a bit with finding cute shoes to wear in my size. My foot is.... Well... Actually a foot in length. Not like your foot, but like a foot. You know, the length of a foot. But not anyone's foot, but a single foot.
Errr, my foot is 29.5cm in length. 😆
I will forever and always recommend shirt stays for dress-over-shirt type outfits. They keep the shirt from riding up and bunching as you move and make the outfit experience just so much more pleasant in my opinion. The outfit is cute though!
Option 1: Farmers Market
-a cotton clip like this or a light dress. -brow booties, maybe leather. Suede would be very cute too. -One if those cute big hats with the wide brim. If you think you can pull it off a beret would be perfect. -a colorful cross body purse or belt, to break up the section a bit.
Option 2: beach day -wear it open and wear your bathing suit underneath. -leather sandles -maybe get a rope-belt to keep I from bellowing out too far in the wind. -jean shorts/tank looks good too :)
Options 3: Night out -sensible heels. My vote goes to Oxford Heels because they are so so comfortable, stylish, and always looks timeless. -again, you'll need a slip or a simple light dress. -some GD axing broaches from the thrift store.
This is what put in my high heels. They've gotten hard to find though. Don't buy the gel ones, those are worthless.
Oh, I'm totally with you on the wood frames! I'm an artist and an art collector so I have a ton of art, and I always make my own wood frames because it's cheaper. So now I've been trying to thrift and fill in metal frames where I can, just to make things a little less monotonous. Here's a link to the mirror :)
Cute! It seems like you’re really finding your style. I think you might like a corset-style stretchy belt with some of your outfits, similar to this.
I’m a similar vein, I got these recently and they are such a game changer in terms of using hanging vertical space. I clustered items into groups of two or three based on similarities in silhouette and fabric composition and it’s a lot easier to view several items at a time and flip through my clothing.
Hi! I got the dress at eShakti. I don't think they have this specific model anymore but they always have plenty of wrap dresses. This one has the high-low hem. I love eShakti because of the custom measurement options and the ability to put lower necklines on everything. If anyone wants a referral code I got some. :D
The leggings are from Leggings Depot on Amazon and it looks like they still have this print. I have several pairs of their leggings, and they hold their color well but I've had to repair split fabric between the legs quite a few times. On the other hand, that's a known thick thigh issue and I wouldn't consider the general quality out of line with the price.
I love styling with black and white!
I collected sewing notions and vintage fabrics for years that I find at thrift stores and estate sales.
This jacket I made using three pieces from this pattern and then I modified from there.
Here’s the deets!
1980’s Floral lightweight linen weave cotton. I picked up at a thrift store. I estimate this fabric to be 1980’s or 90’s (just a guess based on the color and pattern but it could be contemporary).
1970’s. The lace seam tape is the same pattern used today. I picked up this old pack at an estate sale. It’s the same type tape my mom used on my prom dress in 1982!
1960’s Robin’s egg blue eyelet fabric. This I salvaged from a 1960’s JCPenny career gal blouse. Unfortunately the blouse was tiny (and I am not :) but I loved the fabric so much I knew I could use it for something!
1940’s. The lavender cotton braided trim I still have more left! It was new/old still on the original bolt.
1920’s, ‘30’s and 40’s last but not least I used multiple colors of threads from my wooden spool collection!
Thanks! I searched palazzo pants on Amazon and found a ton of great options.
I got these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076DFJ5L4/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_MGH17916ND19K5DXZQBF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I think I bought this on Amazon. I tried to go back and find it. It might be this one. But honestly, I think there might be some cuter ones on Etsy if your willing to shell out a little more.

A black guy stands leaning against a counter while facing the camera. He has on aviator seeing glasses, a navy blue cardigan with the bottom 60% of the cardigan having horizontal white stripes. He has on a flat black midi length skirt with a fold over design. He's also smiling! There's also a mop handle making a cameo appearance.
Thank you! :) It's just a random chinese brand but if you look up suede button midi skirt you can find it and its clones. This is the particular one I have. https://smile.amazon.com/Naggoo-Womens-Casual-Button-Pockets/dp/B07PQD343P
Thank you! They are from libertine libertine

Eh voila. Galaxy titanic cats if you want to Google image search it.
In honour of Lunar new year I have added a MASSIVE Chonky tiger to the leg of a jumpsuit. (He’s like 20 inches long)
Clearly I’m committed to this look.
Hey omg I'm so sorry for my late reply. I don't check here often enough!
Jeans are from a chinese brand I have connections with, not sure of your relationship with am@zon but if you're interested they're for sale here. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B093DBDDY7 They are indeed comfy :)
Thank you!!!They are frompepe jeans 😊
oh darn! That's such a bummer about the cups. That floral teddy is super cute (and wild in the back, whoa 😂) but yeah, I can understand not wanting the cups to show. NOT advertising, lmao dont buy this, but one of the Chinese companies I did some work for has products like these amazon.com/gp/product/B0999NLKV5 that are just like lacey sheer bodysuits with no cups. I can't wear those at all lol but maybe something like that would be of interest to you?
LOLOL you really sell it well!! I did try that sub once a long time ago but it gave me something wacky and I'm reeeally frugal and I knew I wouldn't be able to find a 28GHGJGh or whatever the heck it said for anything less than $30 or $40 :/ but im so happy it works for lots of people and I'm really happy it's a useful tool for trans people too! I also had trouble measuring myself according to the instructions, I think I probably didn't do it right because -TMI- I have really atypical super super saggy breasts and I couldn't figure out where I should measure across half the time haha 😵 I found out through just trial and error that a vicky's secret 32DD works well for me, so I just buy whatever I can find in that size on ebay/poshmark. so it's a matter of finances rather than sizing difficulty for me at this point lol.
Thank you so much! <3 Not sure if you're comfortable with Amazon or not but you can buy it here in a ton of different colors. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B096VQ2CC2 (I did not buy mine, my friend who lives in China and works for kate kasin sent me hers and some other stuff as a gift)
I do have a couple tips! :) if you're not totally comfortable showing your legs maxi and midi skirts are a great place to start. With midi skirts I would recommend wearing tights underneath, fleece lined tights especially as you will feel more covered up than if you wore sheer tights. If wearing a pink skirt like mine, I would pair with dark burgundy fleece lined tights and black chelsea or combat boots. For extra coverage and layering you can also wear long black chunky socks for a little peekaboo above your boots. Similarly, a light teal skirt would look great with emerald green tights.. pale yellow skirt with dark brown tights, color combos like that. I hope that helped!!
I found it on amazon!
Thank you! I found it on amazon!
I'm once again throwing in my suggestion for a tucked in high-waisted maxi skirt :) I've found these that I think would go well with your shirt to go for a more sophisticated yet sort of gothic/dark-academia look. I think it'll work well with the Winter season, too!

That trashy style will never come back because nobody can buy that stuff.
>!Because I am buying it all!<
>!LIKE OMG HAVE YOU SEEN THESE HEELS?!? I MUST HAVE IT ALL !<
Shirt: Victoria's Secret (Really! I swear!)
Skirt: I have no clue? 😬 It was something I saw on Poshmark, waited half a year then finally bought it 😅
Shoes: Amazon they go up to a women's 15 but based on their size chart, I believe it runs a wee bit small (especially for how much pain I was in 3 or 4 hours into the day 😅)
Thanks! They are from gioseppo😊
Thank you so much!! <3 Skirt is here, the material is so soft and thick and it has a velvety sheen to it that I love. I am normally size XS and the medium/large fits well.

These guys. I need the insole over top of them to get real support though.
You might find teflon coated sewing needles helpful! https://www.amazon.com/Schmetz-Super-NONSTICK-Needles-80/dp/B07BXC3F8M
I wish they made them for hand sewing.
I've been sewing a long time - I'm tall and have had to make my own clothes for years.
It probably wouldn't be a difficult one to draft especially as it's a loose fitting garment so much more forgiving on measurements being precise.
Princess seams can be a bit tricky to sew over the bust but they just need practice and finding a technique thst works for you.
The tunic book I got is The Tunic Bible : https://www.amazon.de/dp/1617453560?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share it's made me excited about sewing again!
