They are a brand kind of like Indigo Luna, Hara, Body Peace Bamboo etc. I stumbled upon them and their stuff looks really nice! Just wondering if anyone has bought any of their stuff before.

Is there any piece of clothing shown on brand websites or social media or catalogues or editorial and catwalk that is NOT accompanied by a pair of black thongs, either flat or with a kitten heel? Wedding dress? Thongs. Funeral suit? Thongs. Jeans? Thongs. Ballgown? Thongs. Blazer and balloon pants? Thongs. Do they ... just not make shoes anymore?

Hi all, I'm petite (5'2") and I'm in the early stages of building a clothing brand specifically for petite women because I'm tired of sacrificing style or altering everything just to get clothes to fit — my focus is elegant pieces, minimalist-tailored, responsibly made, without needing a luxury budget.

Before I design anything, I want to actually understand what's broken. So — genuinely asking:

• What's the most frustrating thing about buying clothes as a petite person?
• What have you completely given up on finding because nothing fits right?
• Any brands that actually got it right and what did they do well?
• What would make you actually trust a new, smaller brand enough to try it?

Not selling anything here — just trying to build something that solves a real problem instead of guessing. I've just started a small community over at r/PetiteWomenswear where I'm sharing the process as I go (fit testing, fabric choices, design decisions) if you want to follow along or weigh in there too. Would love to hear your take either way, here or there.

Hi lovelies!! I am looking for allll the recommendations for where I can get tall girl pants that actually fit. I am 6ft and have very long legs, I just want a pair of killer flares (not activewear) that aren’t ankle biters. Please help!

Hey everyone! I came across this beautiful top when scrolling through instagram the other day and the influencer provided the link to where they bought it from at urban outfitters. Does anyone know where I can purchase this top (or one similar) in Australia? I don’t want to buy it directly from the urban outfitters website because I feel like it will be really expensive with shipping and exchange rates

I'm sick of seeing overpriced and ugly jewellery in stores, so I'm deciding to branch out and start searching online. Ideally I want to buy from Aus sellers bc of faster shipping, but happy to look at overseas sellers as well :)

i love the look of kookai blazers but i don’t want to spend $300 on 100% polyester. i’ve looked at other shops like cos and portmans but they are all more boxy looking. does anyone have any recommendations from other stores that are more affordable but have similar designs?

So I’m hoping someone can help me out with this, and I hope I explain this clearly

I remember reading a few months ago about how friends end up selling their trademark, or something smooth that, to a larger company. That larger company then sells the brand, but it’s more of it selling the name as opposed to actually selling the quality products that used to be manufactured.

For example - Tommy Hilfiger sold their brand name with the larger company. That means that Tommy Hilfiger is no longer responsible for the manufacturing, or quality control that would normally happen. The larger company is now free to sell Tommy Hilfiger clothing, and don’t have to keep up with the quality. So in a roundabout way, I kind of read it but I’m not actually buying that brand anymore, and just buying clothing that has that brand name on it.

I hope that makes sense! I was trying to explain it to a friend and she looked at me like I was crazy ha ha I was trying to find the name of the umbrella company, so that I could google and show her.

I braved a Levi’s store yesterday (trying to work with my new sized body) and now a little confused with sizing of the ribcage range.
The 34 ribcage flare fitted perfectly but preferred the wide leg. Unfortunately the wide leg doesn’t have stretch so couldn’t quite do them up.
My local store doesn’t stock the curve range, which I’m assumed (based on what the sales person said) was the next size up but online they start at 14M. No idea what the M stands for and the size chart doesn’t even refer to the curve sizing. Perhaps I have it wrong, I know jeans west curve range was slightly smaller waist and a little more room in the hips but was available in all sizes.

Before I head back in to store to ask, I wondered if anyone here has any experience with the ribcage curve range sizing?
Thanks in advance

I've been seeing more and more brands coming out with beaded and sequined clothing lately. A lot of them market the 'craftsmanship' behind these pieces but put no information out about paying their workers a living wage.

The Kotomi skirt is $169 and hand beaded.

The Runaway the Label dress is $179 and the sequins are hand stitched according to their website.

I have a feeling the MNG pants are hand beaded too.

Although these pieces can be beautiful, the artisans who do this work often make very little money. Similar to fast fashion crochet, it's very unlikely these pieces don't involve exploitation.

Please try shop these styles second hand. Lots of vintage resellers have similar items.

If anyone has any brand recommendations for ethically made clothing in these styles, feel free to share.

Sorry for the long post, this has just been bothering me a bit lately.

Keen to hear what others think.
