"I Hear the Soldiers Quit Their Dying, One and All..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I just think you guys should know that my life is no longer my own.

(I really want this one. I think it would even be cute on me. I love this one too, but I'm a lot more dubious about my ability to wear it.)

On a related note, I feel you should all know about Clyne Management, which, besides having a lot of interesting faces and being a good place to go for possible PBs, has models who are actual real body sizes. Mostly the girls are size eights, but there are nines and tens as well. That is, like, actually human, flist.

...

omg!

Edit: this one wants to come live in my closet. I KNOW IT. Oh God there's only one left and it's a medium, it's my size...! :D :D :D Sigh, why are clothes so expensive when you don't get them second-hand?

Edit 2: I lied, I don't think it's my size. Their sizing chart is weird. And they don't sell anything big enough for me, I don't think--their large is 18 inches waist, which--that sounds really teeny. I shall go cry in a corner now.

Edit 3: OH GOSH BUT THIS FITS. OMG.

Oh, ModCloth has so many pretties!

And yeah, the measurements are measuring across the garment laid flat. It sounds really weird, but I've used it for sizing garments I am knitting and it works fairly well. The idea is that you take something that fits you really well and sits where you want the garment to sit and match the measurement. (Probably this has been explained upthread, but brainless Jess is brainless so there you go.)

That Corner Cafe Dress... I think it made me faint with delight. Several weeks ago, I had to stop myself from buying this dress to wear to WisCon. (Instead, I wore the unbelievable skirt seen here, which I already bought on a clearance rack elsewhere.)

It really really super does. Guh.

See, that actually does make sense, because you're measuring something you already know fits the way you want it to. I definitely did not get that the first time around, though.

Isn't it so cute? --Eeee! (Is that you in that picture?)

Yes, that's me. I look sort of odd because I am mid-conversation, but that photo shows the skirt well. :)

It is gorgeous, and you are so cute!
