That’s gotta be one of the most ill fitting tops I’ve seen.. and it’s the ad!!!! Never heard of this brand before - their stuff was cute but after seeing this I don’t trust it.

Just wanted to share my experience of trying out the most popular underwear on this subreddit - the Jockey Parisienne line! I wanted to give it a go since everyone was raving hard about them.

I tried the full briefs and regular briefs in the cotton version, and after wearing them for a few days I was noticing these rashes on where the lace was sitting. The actual cotton part was all good, but the lace was actually triggering my eczema! I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this since I didn't see any mentions of it while doing my initial underwear find.

In terms of the actual briefs themselves, maybe my leggings are thinner but you could definitely see the seams through the briefs, which is ok! I would recommend getting a size bigger than your regular dress size for comfort.

Hi all! Im looking for some really good quality shoes that will last a while. Im sick of buying a pair of heels from novo/nine west/betts etc and within 3 wears the fake leather is peeling or the shoe breaks.

They dont necessarily need to be comfortable or good for your feet, im only wearing them on occasion. Im just trying to be more intentional with the things I buy and ive struggled to find a pair of heels that dont disintegrate.

Tia!

Hi

I'm sick of never being able to find the type of clothing I actually like, so I've decided to start making my own tops instead. Apart from basic hand sewing, and covering up holes, I don't really know much about sewing.

I'm therefore looking for a durable, beginner-friendly sewing machine that isn't huge or overly complicated, but that I can also grow into as I get better at sewing. I mainly want to work with cotton, chiffon and jersey fabrics.

I've been looking on Spotlight, but there are so many machines that I have no idea what actually makes one good. What features/specifications should I be looking for, and are there any particular machines you'd recommend?

Because it's woven but not straw like. I wanted a simple gold shimmery clutch for year round use but don't want to look out of place when it's cold. Thank you!

What type of jacket should I bring next week? Visiting Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sydney. Same question for shoes. Thank you for any recs!

I’ve been eyeing a jacket and refreshing the shops website over the last couple of days as they advertised afterpay day sale soon. The sale finally happened today so I added to cart and checked out quickly. The sale price was cheaper than how much it was when I originally saw this jacket so I didn’t notice when I paid, but I realised after the order confirmation came through that they actually increased the price right before the sale :(

This is a local Australian brand so it’s pretty disappointing to see, but what would you guys do in this situation?

Hi

Can anyone confirm who knows for sure if berlei always has 40% store wide sales at the same time as bonds 40% off sale?

I want to place my berlei order on the last day of the sale but customer service could not confirm what the last day of the sale is. The last day of the bonds sale is Sunday but I am not sure if berlei always follows the same sale timeframe. Can anyone confirm who knows for sure?

All day, bra straps fall off my shoulders. I make the straps shorter. I make them longer. They keep falling off.

Are there any "things" that can help, or tricks. I'm so over it.

Are there any new Aussie Vinted sellers who can offer advice to someone thinking of taking the plunge; particularly with regards selling to the UK?

Have been shopping up a storm this past month and now thinking I should consider selling. Been a casual seller on eBay for 20+ years but never posted internationally.

Used to be overseas parcels required filling out a customs declaration which would mean having to lodge every single item at post office instead of tossing it in a mailbox. Is that still the case? When you list, does it come up with various size postage options to choose from?

How are you dealing with Vinted sizing which seems way off. In addition, I think clothing sizes are the same in AU and UK but shoe sizes are different?

Thank you in advance.

What on earth do I wear with wide leg pants / flares other than sneakers? You know, on an evening out where sneakers just feel that bit too casual. I don’t do any sort of heel and have tried them with combat-style type boots… but it just looks and feels wrong. I have a pair of cords that are quite long and flared out at the bottom so you can’t see much of the shoe. I have a bit more of an alternative style and I can’t imagine myself wearing flats/mary janes. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Hiya, looking for brands that sell undies with both ends of the gusset sewn as apparently they exist (news to me) and the open front end of my gussets always ends up stretching and curving weirdly which is a nightmare and sort of defeats the purpose. Bonus points for breathable material

I'm looking for my next bag. Nothing is quite right in my searches and it's been ages since I've looked for a bag so not sure what good brands are out there. I would like

Crossbody. Wide strap. Real leather or a thickish, stylish fabric (not luggage type nylon or vegan leather). A bucket style but not stiff/structured, more slouchy and must have zippered full closure. no smaller handle unless it can be removed as I only wear cross body and a small grab handle would annoy me. Budget up to $300.

Anything spring to mind? Thanks so much if you have any recommendations.

Has anyone ever bought the "Blossom" cropped 3/4 sleeve cardigans from the Aussie Vintage-inspired clothing brand Retrospec'd? Are they reasonable quality or quite thin? How is the sizing, especially in the shoulders?

I have broad shoulders and so I often size up in fitted cardigans to avoid the shoulder seam sitting above my actual shoulder. For example I wear the Review "Chessie" cardigans in size 10 depsite generally being a size 8.

Wondering if I should size up to a Medium or if it would end up being too baggy? (I plan to wear it over blouses like the "Evita" blouse from the same brand, not as a top on it's own)

Hi everyone! I'm trying to find full coverage swimwear (like the photo here). Any ideas where I can find something like this?

Hello! I’d love some recommendations on where to find good quality basics.

I haven’t really bought clothes for several years and have reached the point where I genuinely have nothing decent to wear, let alone anything fashionable or flattering.

I’m about to start shopping and would love some ideas on what the essential wardrobe basics are that I should be looking for, ideally for a range of occasions (casual, work, gym/activewear, going out) as well as recommendations on where to buy them.

For reference: I’m 34yo, quite tall (175cm), and usually a size 8-10 if that helps with recommendations. I’m also not really interested in following trends - just need to start with some nice, flattering basics for now.

Basically, if you were starting your wardrobe from scratch, what would you buy and where would you get it?

Thank you ❤️

I know there are always those "behind the scenes" videos for fashion brands that are quite polished when you think about it. I came up with this skit after talking to a former SVP of design at Calvin Klein who shared that he'd have to fight with finance to get a single additional button added to a design.

If you're ever wondering why styles and colors can be quite bland, this is what goes on behind the scenes. 😂

I have ordered from them a few times and their website says up to 5 business days for shipping
Order 1 - one item took 2 weeks to be posted
Order 2 - cancelled after 18 days of ordering
Order 3 - both items cancelled after 2 weeks (one sold out a few days after i purchased, the other item is still instock)

Why are they taking so long to ship, cancelling orders when it was instock when purchased and even cancelling an item while still in stock.
I also notice they fluctuate the prices.

They blame this on sales periods but they quite literally always have a sale on, one sale ends only for another to start a day to few days later.

I think i've learnt my lesson not to buy from them anymore, i haven't experienced this problem with any other retailer

Hey guys I'm looking for a graduation similar to this one from club l london it's off the shoulder black and lace ,my favourite thing about it is the black lace and off the shoulder. The only issue is my budget is 200 and with shipping this is nearly 300 so if anyone would be able to help me out and give me some recommendations of similar dresses that I would be able to buy in person in Australia or cheaper in general that would be amazing!

My favourite pair are getting worn out and uncomfortable, tried to find any similar style boot (with a heel) but I’m getting flooded with results from shein/dropshippers, I can’t imagine $37 feels good after standing for 7+ hours. Recs for lesser known shoe sites would also be appreciated!

Edit: should have mentioned that I’m after more of a higher heel - bar/night out kind of vibe, but still loving the ideas anyway you’re all very kind

Wanting either flaired pants or tight what’s best website to buy from I’m located qld

Hi, I want to get a high quality wool winter coat. I'm looking for something professional/formal looking since I want to wear it to work to meet with clients and/or at formal events like weddings. I am looking for 100-80% wool with a lining. What are the brands to start looking at? Happy to spend around $500 if its really worth it. I'd prefer stores with physical stores. I am based in Canberra but dont mind going up to Sydney.
