@twinl25

Cyclingmad I know I must be invisible. No one ever replies to my posts either.
Your question was very specific and you only asked an hour and a half ago!

@cyclingmad

Whats the point of doing an AMA if your going to ignore some peoples question.
Jesus Christ leave the OP alone. She's not at your whim! She might actually (shock) be a real person with other shit to do!

Thanks OP I've just bought some specific items I'd been looking for for a while based on your suggestions

AvantGardening · 27/06/2021 18:54

Mine hasn’t been answered either but I recognise it’s not a simple question and I’m enjoying seeing some of the other recommendations.

Frankly it might prompt me to spend some time and money on me for a change and book a local consult (if I can find someone locally).

coastergirl · 27/06/2021 18:57

The OP is doing something lovely and a lot of people have asked for advice, myself included. She's not responded to me either, but I'm not going to have a strop about it! Thanks for the thread OP.

JonathanRipples · 27/06/2021 19:02

Can't believe people are moaning about not getting a response- there's over 170 posts on this thread, it would be a full time job for the OP to research and respond to them all. I'm sure she has other things she needs to be doing in her life!

tn8er · 27/06/2021 19:04

No need to reply if too difficult but do you know anywhere that does lingerie for very small sizes (e.g. AA) and WON'T break the bank? Under £40 if possible!

youvegottenminuteslynn · 27/06/2021 19:07

I can't believe some of the arsey messages being so shitty to OP - staggering entitlement!

Not arsey at all. Just a bit disappointed that every single post after mine was answered. I've asked for all mine to be deleted now anyway.
PegasusReturns · 27/06/2021 19:09

@cyclingmad perhaps recognise that the OP is doing something nice and for free?! Honestly FFS Hmm

OP this is a really great AMA - sorry people are getting shitty. I’ve really enjoyed not just my response but those for others also

ginandgingers92 · 27/06/2021 19:13

Thanks so much OP, I'll order some tonight!! 🤞🏼

Maybe other questions were things OP has worked with clients on recently so had things in mind to write quick answers but was going to take a bit more time to come back to you?

Or simply missed your one by accident and was bizarrely called out on it as if she'd let you down?

Why ask for them to be deleted as one of these scenarios is likely and I'm not sure what you think OP has done wrong regardless. She's doing something for free, for a bit of fun, on MN. It's not like you booked a meeting and she didn't show up but charged you.

Be kind works both ways - she might have felt shit seeing your posts and now be worried shes been a dick or looks like one when she really hasn't and really doesn't!

itsnevertolate · 27/06/2021 19:20

Help! I'm attending a last minute wedding at the end of July! I need a dress and cannot find one anywhere. Any idea of a good place to look? I've tried all the normal online shops, John Lewis etc. I'm 5ft so I need somewhere that sale petite dresses. TIA

Exactly this! There's so many its difficult to keep up and I have to scroll through each time- not sure if there is an easier way to do this.

Some requests are straight forward whereas others take time and need research and a bit of time. I'm not going to reply and say that to each poster because it's only a bit of fun and not an actual appointment!

@Staffroomdoughnut try ASOS for larger shoes. I'm a 9 wide and it's the only place I shop from now. There are brands alongside their own label.

notanotherusernameidea · 27/06/2021 19:25

Longline ribbed t-shirts in decent colours for a 5ft 10 size 12 long bodied.
I will kiss you if you have the answer!

CocoandCleo · 27/06/2021 19:25

Hi OP, hoping you are still answering style queries ☺️🤞🏼

Any idea where I can find some summer dresses/jumpsuits which are:

  • cotton or linen (I get so hot and sweaty when it's really warm!)
  • have buttons or wrap front, or are specifically for nursing
  • stylish and not frumpy

I'm 5'4, size 12. I like most colours and prints. Thank you in advance!

CocoandCleo · 27/06/2021 19:26

I forgot to add, are not strapless or have cap sleeves!

PreparationPreparationPrep · 27/06/2021 19:30

@frillseeking

Oops pressed send too soon. I've attached another style below. I would go for this kind of cowl neck style if you're big busted, a softer deeper style as anything with a high neck would be unflattering.

This was a good request to do. Great to see so many nice options out there finally. Natural fibres used to equal frumpy, unfashionable styles but there's so much more on offer now

Thank you - you replied so quickly !
Redruby2020 · 27/06/2021 19:35

Hi, hoping if I post I might still get a reply. This is a great post!
So can I ask where would you advise to shop for person with 38H/HH bust 🤦‍♀️
Also for plus size clothing that is not skimpy or over the top, or too frumpy. I am a size 20/22 in some clothing depending on style/cut etc/brand.
And what can I do so that I don't throw on jeggings every day of the week in all seasons because I don't know what else to wear 🤦‍♀️🥲
Thankyou in advance!

cheeseisthebest · 27/06/2021 19:57

This is a really great thread and so kind. I know you are doing your best.
If you didn't see mine I'm a shortie, bit overweight, really don't know what to wear to flatter me!

AlGorithim · 27/06/2021 20:32

I think I missed out too as my post was just before page 1 ended and there are a lot of requests. Ah well, great to see some new suggestions for shops anyway!

lightand · 27/06/2021 20:36

I am on page 4.
Prepared to wait for ages.

Thank you op for what you are doing.
I think you may have been taken by surprise how many requests you got!
