I'm looking at this cute dress but I don't know how to shop for dresses…

Do any of you guys/girls know how to do this shit?

I'm a guy so I don't think the women's sizes will fit me that well because of shoulders and shit.

I'm 5'9 and 150 lbs.

How fucking do?

I don't shop for myself, so I'm not quite sure how to help you.

The problem is that women's clothing isn't standardized at all. A size 1 isn't always a size 1, sometimes it's 1 sometimes it's more like a 4. I personally blame fatties that want to feel thin.

The most important part is the fit on the shoulders and chest. Sometimes my boyfriend get's me a dress that's a little baggy on me but you can fix that with a nice belt, but I have a nice silk sash.

My boyfriend knows how big I am and can just visually determine if something will fit me. So I'm afraid you might need to physically look at whatever dress you want and try to gauge if it would fit.

I use women's clothing regulary and you have to always buy 1 or 2 numbers bigger. I'm S-M in male clothing so I always buy M or L in girl's size, sometimes even XL. I'm 1.75mt height and 75kg weight so maybe that can help you.

>At MILANOO of all places

Don't do it bro, and if you do don't do it through Milanoo.

To add to this. If you want to wear ebin dresses for sex or something because you're not into the fashion just get them off Bodyline. It's a sex shop that turned pseudo-legitimate for the fashion and offers cheap, but actually sort of alright, dresses and accessories of all kinds.

But pls donut mix the fashion and lewd together in public. The fashion gets enough crap as it is.

Oh, Bodyline looks quite cheap and has a nice shipping cost! I'm going to check that, thanks.

Also, I'm going to wear them here and there at conventions and stuff.

Prepare to get torn to shreds by Lolita's who wear better brands. Bodyline is still sort of a joke in the community.

Of course, I just want a few pics here and there and maybe flirt a bit, not join the lolita circuit. Also, care to share what are "better brands"? Just curious, I know nothing defeats homemade and singular desing but maybe I can spent a few bucks into that.

Take a ruler or one of those ribbons with measures and use it, it's pretty cool and you don't have to be guessing about every size.

Homemade only works if you seriously know what you are doing and have good materials.

As for Brands lurk CGL or checkout HelloLace.

This is a very rule oriented fashion if you do this buy a good wig or two and practice your make-up skills as much as possible and be weary of the black and white lace monster get-ups also companies vary in regards to their sizes so really learn your measurements before buying. Lastly take it seriously do your homework and if you look at least half-decent you should be able to pull it off.

ah yes good idea anon, I cant believe I didn't think of the obvious lol.

Anonymous 01/04/16 (Mon) 04:24:48 No.236569

A huge tip: women's hip size = men's waist size. I'm size 32 waist in men's pants (US) and wear medium because while men's waist size 32 is measured at the hip bones, women's waist size is measured at the bellybutton. So get accustomed to look for hip size and not waist size.

Unfortunately this does not count for height, be careful.

this isnt exactly correct. women's HIP size is the *widest* part of the body ie. the butt, which is measured lower than men's hip size. there is no women's measurement analogous to men's pant size.
