ilu F-list

T-thank you so much for all of your sweet and supportive comments. They really mean a lot to me and really made me feel better.

Really. ♥

A little bit of an update from one of my earlier posts. Those vintage clothes I found: working on a pic spam. HONEST. I need to take them into the cleaners, still, but yeah...I'm afraid of how expensive this'll be. D: I'm gonna take them in piece by piece.

A lot need to also be altered, too. orz... As my mom put it; I have a very similar build as she did when she was my age, but...I'm even smaller than she was. So, I swim in some clothes and others are perfect. I'm trying with the washer with some that I can and others need to be taken to a seamstress. DDDDD: Being small is NOT ALL THAT GREAT. Clothes suck.

I wanna make FFVIII icons, soon. And possibly others. Anybody have any suggestions?

NOTHING TO WEAR FOR WORK. NOES.

Dude, dry cleaners are so not worth it unless it's for some essential pieces like large stocky blazers.

Rayons are easy to wash. You just handwash them in cold water with some mild soap, and then air dry them flat or someplace where they don't crinkle. Silks need SUPER gentle washing (no balling up, no wringing, no NOTHING that will upset silk) and completely *MAKE SURE* they air dry without any form of crinkling. Wool just needs some washer from a local store called like, Wool-lite or something, and you just wash and hang dry.

I had to haxcore research all of this since I'm too cheap to dry clean anything lols. It's a lot of work but you save lots and lots of monies.

I need to try some of that. My only worry is for those water-damaged pieces. I'm not confident enough to wash them myself and make the damage permanent, y'know? D:

I should take a look at some of those fabrics, though. I think a lot of them should be Rayon. Thanks!!! :D

If you have nothing to wear then do laundry. That's what the washimajigger is for.

Silly Creampuff. ♥

What did you wear? What was so horrible about it? You always have a great sense of fashion Alli, I'm sure whatever you wear looks good.

Urhhhm, a vintage high-waisted ethnic skort, white body shaper with a green quarter-sleeved top, an orange and red scarf, and my ballerina wedges.

I dunno; it's okay, I guess. I really wanted to wear this vinatge black jumper I found, but it was way too big on me. *sad* And we have the perfect top I wanna get for it at work. I'm all sad over it...
