2024.05.14 13:33 RegretItchy 19f in Dothan Alabama looking to run away from bad home and live with someone and be besties!
I am visually impaired and use a feeding tube because I have trouble swallowing and can't throw up, and because of that my family thinks I am too disabled for freedom and independence and will even forcebly wash me even though I can do it myself and treat me like a child. I want to lave later tonight, I don't care where if not too far where I need to fly, but I have a few minutes to chat and plan, it's 6:32 AM as I am posting this and want to leave later tonight and bound with someone and gain independence. I like movies, books, games, space, cats, ghosts, witches, faries, mermaids, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter and medical dramas. Please DM me ifyou are in or near my state, thanks!

2024.05.13 13:10 emmawalter13 Why should you get tape hair extensions?
 | Tape hair extensions aren't just about adding length or volume; they're about transforming your hair game with unparalleled ease and style. Here's why you should dive into the tape-in trend: It is the easiest hair extension to maintain. Most actually forget that they are wearing tape in extensions because they are just that easy to maintain. submitted by emmawalter13 to u/emmawalter13 [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/oyy04hhkf60d1.jpg?width=564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ea99d7a12414e996da84bb39152a053dea84581

2024.05.11 03:46 freebbq how do I achieve brown copper hair color at home?
 | what’s the best strategy for addressing my grow out and maintaining my copper at home? submitted by freebbq to HairDye [link] [comments] this is my hair after 4 months of grow out and fading, thankfully now I like the copper color much more than I did initially…it was extremely true red with blue/burgundy undertones and I hated it. little mermaid vibes. I can’t justify going back to the salon to spend $$$ on hair that I hate so I want to attempt a DIY treatment. any advice? should I just treat the roots with a high lift permanent color and pull it down through my mids and ends? my roots have gone hot before in the salon because despite their darker level in these pictures, my hair is very fine and porous. my natural color is dark ash blonde and the copper color on my mids and ends was not lightened with bleach, only lifted slightly on sort of virgin hair. ideally I want it to be a little brighter and lighter, should I do a bleach wash to bring the level up just a little and then tone it to a brownish copper? that seems a bit advanced for me as i’ve only ever done glossing treatments on my hair. any advice would be super helpful!! |
2024.05.07 02:14 wafflewitchh [TOMT] A lonely Hunter finds a family through woodland creatures and a mermaid (book)
So I read this book in elementary school, roughly late 2000’s to mid 2010’s. It was about this lonely huntsman’s or maybe a woodsman, who lives by himself in the middle of woods. Throughout the story he finds animals/creatures in need and takes them to his house where they eventually become his family. At one point he finds either woman who washed up on shore (who turns out to be a mermaid) or a mermaid on shore who can turn into a woman, or maybe just a mermaid who doesn’t change. Idk. But I’m pretty sure they fall in love with eachother. Please help me!

2024.05.06 07:27 seliskar Complex issues - advice?
Please bare with me, as this is long and somewhat complicated. Maybe someone else has the same or similar issues, and can offer some helpful tips or encouragement? These issues have made me become a hermit, and I have zero social life outside of my household.
I am 47 female, postmenopausal, and I have had hyperhidrosis for 20+ years, and it's the worst on my face and head. Last year I was prescribed glycopyrrolate. The warning I got from my rheumatologist was that it MAY make my secondary Sjogren's symptoms worse. So I tried it, for half a week. My eyes and mouth were SO dry that they hurt, and I didn't notice a major reduction in the sweating, so I didn't take anymore. I've lost several teeth in the last 5 years due to dry mouth (not bad hygiene) and nothing has helped that either (gels, lozenges, gum, etc). I'm a mouth breather (asthmatic, allergies, polyps, deviated septum, etc), so that makes it all worse. Despite the dry eyes being like 2 sides of Velcro, they're super sensitive and water constantly for days on end. I am constantly blotting the sweat and tears, which leaves my skin red, dry and chapped (sometimes cracked) around my mouth, eyes and a bit of my forehead. I've tried switching from Kleenex to cotton bandanas, flannel and bamboo cloths, which helps, but hard to keep up on laundry with my body constantly leaking! Anyway...
Summer is coming up and I want to be outside more and be more active, but I worry about the sweating, heatrash and sunburn. I have very fair, translucent skin, with some sensitivity, dryness and a history (age 0 to 30) of the worst eczema you could image... picture a child whose skin looked like raw hamburger from head to toe, and suffering through tar baths, sun treatments, mummy wraps, and steroids. All of it ruined my skin. I have zero acne, never get pimples or blackheads, and have no oiliness to be seen... just random flaky dry skin patches and buckets of sweat. I am wanting to find a sunscreen that absorbs nicely into my tiny pores and doesn't mattify or dry me out. I also want to try facial antiperspirants. In what order would I do my skincare routine? I normally wash my face with gentle cleansing wipes, tone with Simple toner, apply serums (The Ordinary's The Buffet and Amino Acids + B5) and then moisturize with The Ordinary's moisturizer, Naturium Plant Ceramides, or Purlisse Blue Lotus. I have given up on makeup, unless it's a bit of mascara. I just don't care anymore as it's not worth the hassle of watery eyes, sweating it off and it just disappearing from my nose. I cannot use any type of mattifying products or powders because they dry me out worse.
I have tried 2 chemical facial sunscreens in the last 6 weeks, which made my face hot and red, and left me with a flaky patch of skin between my eyebrows that I cannot get rid of (I've been putting raw African shea butter on it for 3 days straight). It was the Trader Joe's Daily Facial Sunscreen that did it first, after 4 hours of wearing it. I used it only once and gave it to my daughter. 2 weeks later I tried Kao Bioré Aqua Rich Watery Essence (Japan) sunscreen, and it seemed to reactivate the dry patch! Both absorbed or dried quickly, and my skin felt silky dry and smooth, but... then it started snowing down on my glasses. I think the common ingredient would be alcohol, or some mattifying thing. I've since ordered 5 "Holy Grail" sunscreens from Korea and Japan to see if they are better. The mineral sunscreens just seem to sit on top of my skin, make me sweat worse, and then I'm icky sticky and streaky! I've been doing research and reading reviews, taking product matching quizzes for several weeks, and am very frustrated. I won't have the new sunscreens for several weeks to try out, but they are Purito Daily Go To, Beauty of Joseon, Round Lab Birch, Canmake Mermaid and Rohto Skin Aqua Super Moisture. I wanted to try Supergoop, Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream, and LaRoche-Posay Anthelios Milk Melt-In, but they are expensive and review are all over the place, especially for dry or sensitive skin... God forbid I have both! cry
So, any recommendations for 1. A facial deodorant that doesn't have a matte finish or is actually moisturizing? And 2. A facial sunscreen that works on dry, sweaty and sometimes sensitive skin? And 3. Which order would one do their routine?
I should also note that my hyperhidrosis is SO bad that I have chronic intertrigo and frequent yeast infections in my skin folds. I've used nystatin powder for years, never with any luck. The cream version made me sweatier. Cornstarch, baking soda, gauze taped in place, etc. I've tried cotton and bamboo bra liners, which do help. I got a breast reduction 10 years ago, and that didn't help at all... I think I'd need a mastectomy to not have that issue there. I have changed out all of my clothing and bedding to strictly natural fibers, and that has helped some, but not sure how it will help in the summer. Cotton seems to just soak up the sweat and get soggy and gross. I like modal, bamboo and silk, but $$$! Add to all of the above that I have fibromyalgia, so everything remotely snug on my body or skin causes pain and leaves red marks, dents and sometimes bruises... plus rashes in those sensitive areas. I've been wearing modal boxer briefs in a size 3 times bigger than I would wear, just so they don't hurt. It leaves extra material to tuck into the folds to stop the skin sticking, some sweat and rashes... but as soon as I move, the material falls back to its normal position, so not helpful when out and about, and when I need it the most. When we go out to eat, and the seats are vinyl, I have to wipe it with a napkin as I leave the booth... and it looks like I peed my pants! I wish they made the bra liner type things for the apron area and groin! Maybe they do, and I just have searched using the wrong terms.
The TL;DR version: Looking for recos for cranio-facial hyperhidrosis topical products, specifically 1. sunscreen and 2. antiperspirants. I have dry skin and barely any skin oil (my fingers don't leave prints even on my phone, unless I've recently moisturized), so I don't need matte products. My skin CAN be sensitive, but I couldn't tell you what all it's sensitive to, except alcohol. Glycopyrrolate may work (I have it) but it also made my extremely dry eyes and mouth worse. Also, if anyone knows of a way to keep other areas of the body dry (skin & fat folds), that'd be great info too. I'm considering spray antiperspirants for my problem areas, but not sure if that would work or be safe. I don't care if my shins or tops of my feet or arms sweat, but the face and where I sit have to be addressed... it's so embarrassing! My skin issues are 1. Hyperhidrosis, 2. Dry eczema prone facial skin, 3. Sensitive skin, 3. Intertrigo. In addition to the skin stuff, I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, fibro, asthma, allergies, IBD, gerd, secondary Sjogren's and whatever else I'm forgetting. I take a dozen medications each day, but that's less than half the meds I was taking over a year ago!
Basically, if I can gain more confidence, get outside and be more active without being drenched immediately, I can move more, lose weight, and at least the sweaty areas would be smaller? I sweat if I move or squat or bend, yet the house is kept at 60° in the winter, and 68° in the summer. I can't do chores, so I have a homemaker. If there's no sunscreen that will work on my face, I'll just get a wide brimmed hat with a UPF rating or tight fabric. I did buy 2 oversized Columbia long sleeve fishing shirts to wear when outdoors this spring and summer, but they are nylon and polyester, so I worry about sweating and being miserable in them. I live in northern Minnesota, so summers can be mild, but this year is not expected to be. Humidity is a major spring and summer issue, and dryness is the winter issue. The humidity worsens the sweating, blotting worsens the rashes and dryness, and the humidity doesn't help with moisture at all. My skin is actually worse in the summer than winter from all the blotting, wiping and mopping of sweat.
Thank you in advance for any help offered! If I missed any pertinent details, please let me know! I made a similar post weeks ago on a skincare sub, but didn't get any response. Sorry for the lengthiness, but didn't want to miss anything. 😬

2024.05.05 23:22 AustralianChrono Chronologica's Drag Race Season 5: Reunited!
“Are you ready?” Yasmin Raiz places a MASSIVE bowl of fried rice onto the table. “Hi everyone, it’s Yasmin Raiz, your Season 4 Mx Congeniality, and I’m here to host our REUNION of Season 5 of Chronologica’s Drag Race!” Yamin stands to welcome the monarchs. “Welcome back the lovely contestants of CDR Season 5! Madam Maine!”
Madam Maine re-wears her finale look: a top hat, fitted black and white suit and a pair of silver boots with a cane. She bows and smiles broadly, looking nervous.
“Kaia K. Beauvoir!”
Kaia strides out confidently in an elaborate gold and silver pageant dress, with silver hair that glitters with metallic extensions.
“Cwunchie!”
Cwunchie is dressed as a little yellow plastic flower, with big petals and a tiny narrow stem. Her arms and legs are constricted at her sides in the stem and she hops along the runway towards her chair, grinning wildly.
“Now, let’s welcome the elephant in the room.” Yasmin smiles. “Bates Baghdashi, everyone!”
Bates arrives in a sepia-painted Agatha-Christie-esque detective look, with decadent shades of tan, brown, and black, an oversized magnifying glass, a briefcase, and a messy mop of Sherlockian curls.
“Oh, I love this.” Yasmin claps.
Bates lights an oversized origami faux cigarette, pretends to smoke from it, then flicks it away, where it unfurls into a bird, already aflame, and blasts away into the air, powered by a miniature firework.
Madam Maine looks very afraid for a moment, and starts to stand up.
“Before we continue, I want to let everyone know that their safety is assured! You are not in danger.” Yasmin smiles at Maine. Bates blushes.
Maine sits back down.
“Say hello, it’s Mermaid princess, Cleo Mertoris!”
Cleo wears a golden seashell bikini top stoned to the gods, showcasing some clear, recent work done on her chest, as well as a tight blue mini dress, as she flicks back her long luscious ginger hair with a smirk.
“Drag Princesita!”
Princesita waves in a sepia coloured maxi dress and bald head look, with bronze glitter on the top of her now shaved head, as she spins around with a smile on her face.
“It’s Briar Midnights!”
Briar walks out dressed quite similar to Ambrose’s traditional look- a tophat and sleek black trench coat, with jet black, wet hair and a half-smirk.
“Ms Stripes, Starzanne!”
The others look unimpressed as Starzanne walks out in an American Eagle style look, with feathers, glitter and fringe wrapped around her body.
“Ambrose NOIR!”
Amborse wears a black plaid mini skirt and white linen shirt, going for a rare fem drag look, with long black braids with hundreds of little pins wrapped into the braids.
“S-S-e-v-e-r-a!”
Severa rocks BODY on the main stage, wearing a bikini top and denim short combo, as well as a sensible pair of blue boots and pigtails to add the final touch.
“Magenta! Leigh! Simmons!”
Magenta gaps, wearing a Magenta coloured plaid look, wrapped around her body to create a fitted garment, along with a Magenta pair of sneakers.
“Jupiter Sterling!”
Jupiter rocks a head to toe, douchebag Vuitton look- jacket, shirt, pants, glasses and a backwards baseball cap.
“Apocalyptica!”
Apocalyptica looks slightly displeased- wearing a bright, toxic green look that appears to have toxic slime wrapped around her, in a similar vein to a past look.
“Lupe LaBelleza!”
Lupe wears a sensible pussycat wig, red coat and matching pencil skirt, with a black sheer turtleneck and a red fedora, along with a pair of black sheer socks being held up by garter belts and classic black pumps with a smile.
“And our winner, Nymphe d’Azote!”
Wearing her crown on her shoulders, her head too small for her crown, Nymphe is dressed in a glittering yellow robe, wearing a matching facemask looking ready for a spa moment, along with a wig, made entirely of bubbles!
Yasmin smiles, handing people plates of rice. “Now, today we're spilling ALL of the TEA. At the start of our season, we said goodbye to some girls that some fans really wanted to see more of. Say hello to Madam Maine, Miss Kaia K. Beauvoir, and…”
“CWUNCHIE!!!!” Cwunchie interrupts happily.
Severa rolls her eyes.
Cleo rolls her eyes.
Kaia rolls her eyes.
Severa glares at Cleo.
Cleo glares at Kaia.
Kaia glares at Severa.
Yasmin smiles. “Madam Maine. Once and for all, can you tell us why you’re named after a state you’re not even from?”
“Oh! Haha.” Madam Maine laughs nervously, eyeing the cameras. “I really like Maine. I have a French Canadian aunt who lives up there.”
“French Canada? Is she related to French Montana?” Magenta asks.
“Oh…no.” Madam Maine smiles awkwardly.
“A lot of our viewers this season questioned whether you were totally ready for the Drag Race experience. What’s your take?”
“I will be honest. I wasn’t.” Maine flushes. “I don’t think that I totally understood the caliber of some of these performers, and…I was in such awe of them. I feel really lucky that I’ve gotten to know some of my castmates, including all the first outs before me. Jupiter and Princesita especially, I really feel have shown me love.”
“You’re a sweetheart, honey.” Princesita smiles. “I hope you get your chance to come back someday too.”
“Are we going to do that every few seasons? Because it’ll get old, QUICK.” Severa responds. “Twists are only twists if we don’t see them coming.”
“Agreed.” Kaia says.
Princesita frowns.
Yasmin looks at Kaia. “Kaia, you represented, I believe, our first instance of a child of Drag Race–that is, your drag mom, The Mother Delilah, competed on season 2.”
“That’s right.” Kaia nods, keeping one eye warily on Severa and Cleo. “As a trans woman, it was important to me to be part of a legacy of successful trans women.”
“Delilah was successful?” Severa half jests with a smirk. “I think there have been plenty of trans women on the show who were more successful.”
Lupe looks like she wants to say something, but doesn’t.
“Whatever, I’m proud to be a daughter of Miss Delilah regardless and even more proud of having a healthy and kind relationship with the woman who inspired my craft.” Kaia says haughtily. “Not all of us can say that after all.”
“Ooooooooo…” the room roars.
Severa makes a displeased face and shrugs.
“One question about your time on the show, Kaia.” Yasmin looks around. “Why do you, in particular, think you ended up going home so early? A lot of fans were very surprised.”
“I think it’s quite obvious that Cleo’s leadership in that challenge was disastrous for me and everyone else on it. I’d assume that Cleo’s current appearance reflects how people received her during this season.”
“You mean my gorgeous knockers?” Cleo shimmies.
“I mean, your cheap bra and panty set.” Kaia snaps. “And-”
“You’re so smug.” Cleo interrupts. “As if you have anything to be smug about. Not with that mug, you don’t, mate.”
“At least I can still afford my makeup.” Kaia shoots back.
Cleo huffs and crosses her arms.
“Cwunchie! You were a force of nature for a short time with us this season.” Yasmin looks nervous to even speak to Cwunchie.
“WOOOOOOHOOOOO!” Cwunchie yells. “This show did NOT disappoint! I–”
It then cuts to an ad break.
~
“Welcome back to the Chronologica’s Drag Race Season 5 Reunion! Onto, the infamous, Bates!” Yasmin smiles. “You had one of the most DRAMATIC moments, ever in history. Let’s look back.”
Bates grins as the cast turns to watch the TV screen.
~
Will the following-
Wait.
Everyone looks concerned. For a moment, the stage is perfectly still, as the judges and racers wait with uncertainty.
In the distance, sirens are heard. The sirens get closer. And closer.
Suddenly, a group of police officers in full riot gear burst into the room through a production door. Crew members and producers look shocked and frantic. The police officers are led by a stern-faced man with a badge that reads "Officer Jeffery," who steps forward, his hand gripping a pair of handcuffs.
What?
Office Jeffrey points directly towards the racers. Everyone looks to see who he’s pointing at.
Bates stares back at the officer expressionless, blood still dripping from their look.
"Mahdi Hakimian?” The police officers crowd onto the stage towards Bates.
“Oh my god.” Magenta gasps.
Princesita starts to say something, and Jupiter reaches over to cover Princesita’s mouth.
“Yes.” Bates gulps.
Officer Jeffery reaches towards Bates. “Turn around and place your hands behind your back.”
Bates stands silently, his face expressionless.
“I am placing you under arrest in connection with the murders of Javad Tahmasb, Hamidreza Entezami, Mohamad Askari, Mostafa Shahi, Ali Reza Arjmand, Arman Nousari, Elahe Nousari, Setareh Tarokh, and Mohammed Tarokh."
Magenta falls to the ground in her bra and panty set, as everyone looks in stunned silence.
Bates slowly raises their hands as the police officers move closer, handcuffing them.
Everyone looks in disbelief. The judges look shocked and horrified.
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”
Bates looks at Apocalyptica, still expressionless, and speaks softly. “Christian…I’m sorry.”
“You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights?”
Bates gives a nearly imperceptible nod.
Apocalyptica’s eyes well with tears. “Batesy?”
~
“Traumatic.” Apocalyptica looks at Bates, who exhales.
“To explain this….” Yasmin looks over. “Rachelle Mirage!”
Rachelle walks in with a smile.
“You two have worked hard together- tell us, what happened?!”
“I am, as we’d all know, originally from Iran. And- I knew it was a risk.” Bates exhales. “And they found out, and tried to have me extradited back from the US, for an alleged murder.”
“You killed someone?” Magenta gasps.
“A set up. Some of my former schoolmates had reported to the government that I had been cast here. So they falsified police records to make it look like I had done something which… was just because I, a Queer person, was representing the country in a way that didn’t match their… image.” Bates nods.
“Then comes… me.” Rachelle grins. “I could not let this happen.”
“Thank you, Rachelle.” Bates smiles.
“I felt something was off. And, I served as a character witness in the International Criminal Court, where… Eventually, after little evidence, we were able to not only have this gorgeous artist freed- but, I pulled some strings…”
“And I am now living in Denver.” Bates responds, holding Apocalyptica’s hand.
“What a shocking story.” Yasmin smiles. “And Apocalyptica, I must ask- are you two…?”
“We live literally across the street from each other.” Apocalyptica smiles.
The two grin.
“Now next up! She was one of our famous RETURNEES- Ms Cleo Mertoris, who won her first challenge- then proceeded to go home. Cleo, how did you feel about your journey?”
“I think… I should’ve gone much further than I did, to be honest.” Cleo shrugs.
“Girl...” Severa stares at Cleo for a few seconds. “You deserve exactly what you got- because you weren’t talented enough to survive a lipsync.”
“Not Miss ‘Double Sashay’ talking.” Cleo gasps. “At least I could pay for my tits myself, and not resort to sugar daddies huh Sevvie… Fucking bitch!” In a flash, Cleo, angrily standing, throws her drink onto Severa, who yelps.
In a flash, Yasmin tries to pull Cleo away from Severa, but Cleo does her best to claw at Severa.
“The fuck?” Jupiter yells.
“Don’t fucking call me Sevvie ever again!” Severa yells, scrubbing at her ruined dress and crying while subtly drinking the cocktail on her face.
“I’ll call you whatever I fucking want! Coming for my fucking gig!” Cleo shrieks.
“Let’s stop this-” Yasmin raises her hand.
Cleo spits at Severa. “Fuck you, fucking whore. You only transitioned to copy me! I MADE YOU! I-”
“WE’RE GOING TO ANOTHER BREAK!” Yasmin yells.
~
Severa tries to shake cocktail out of her wet wig.
Lupe covers her mouth with one hand. Kaia is laughing.
Nymphe suddenly stands and aggressively wrings out Severa’s wig, as Severa winces.
“Well!” Yasmin says sharply. “Are you okay, Severa?”
“I’m fine.” Severa huffs, bent over as Nymphe wrings her wig out. “I started my transition because, since the season aired, I came to terms with a lot about myself. Including how some of my behavior on the season was…rash. I’ve definitely been hiding from this moment. And Cleo has nothing to do with it.”
Lupe apologetically speaks up. “Pienso que, Severa, that Cleo might just be jealous of you.”
“You know it, mami.” Severa sighs. “I also really want to express some sincere apologies to you.”
Lupe looks startled.
“I think that with our time on the show, I was often jealous of you. Unlike me, or Cleo, or Kaia, you have been confidently living in your womanhood for a long time. I’ve followed you for a long time…and I fucked up.” Severa nods. “I am sorry.”
“I accept your apology, darling.” Lupe smiles. “It’s all I ever needed.”
“Now, these two were our OTHER, non finalist returnees, and both have… wild journeys.” Yasmin smiles.
“Non finalist.” Princesita frowns.
“You did good, Mami.” Lupe smiles. “I know it was hard…”
“I lip synced- a lot.” Princesita nods. “And it was hard.” Princesita begins to tear up. “Because, I believed I could do better, you know?”
Magenta holds Princesita’s hand.
“But- you must keep going. You can never push yourself too far, and maybe this wasn’t my journey. I think… I think I've accepted that now.” Princesita sighs.
“Regardless of how it ends, know that you should be proud of yourself, girl.” Kaia shrugs. “Like, we can’t all win.”
“Like me.” Starzanne jokes.
Nobody laughs.
“Well, turning to you, Starzanne, you had a controversial moment this season, in your makeover moment….” Starzanne turns. “How did it feel, watching it back?”
“I feel bad.” Starzanne closes her eyes. “And… I’m learning, I’m working on what I know, how to do it better, how to…” Starzanne sighs. “Do more than what I did, and truly, I feel shame.”
“I kinda think it’s bullshit.” Severa looks at Starzanne. “Because I think you knew better.”
Ambrose and Briar nod in agreement.
“HOWEVER…” Severa shrugs. “Good for you.”
Starzanne pouts, before nodding. “I aim to really deliver, I p-promise.”
The others look uncertain.
Bates sighs. “As the Middle Eastern refugee here, I can’t speak for Mohammed, who it’s obvious you really hurt and mistreated…and I hope he never has to see or work with you again. Because I hope you do learn, Starzanne. But also know the work is on you, not people of color.”
Severa gulps.
“Moving onto a power couple, or power ex-couple, this season. Briar and Ambrose…”
Jupiter woofs.
“How are we going since the season?” Yasmin asks.
“We’ve reconciled.” Ambrose looks at Briar with a knowing glance.
“I think both of us felt intense pressure this season.” Briar nods. “We both wanted to exist separate, but were so intrinsically tied to each other…”
“Ultimately I did think it led to our failure.” Ambrose sighs. “And- that’s fair, because it was a lesson to learn.”
“The lesson, being?”
“We are powerful- together.” Ambrose smiles, holding hands. “But, we believe it’s important to make space.”
“So, where does that mean for you now?” Yasmin asks. “The both of you.”
The two look at each other.
“We’re creating space, yet, collaborating.” Ambrose nods. “And-”
“They’re fucking again, BUT not doing duo gigs. Only attending gigs together.” Magenta chuckles.
Everyone gasps.
“Well… true.” Briar shrugs.
“Now, finally- the shocking moment… right before the semi final.” Yasmin nods. “Let’s look.”
~
I’ve made my decision.
Jupiter Sterling, Shantay you stay.
“Thank you.” Jupiter exhales. “Thank you.”
Severa closes her eyes, whispering to herself. “Severa, shantay…”
Severa and Magenta Leigh Simmons…
The others look on.
Thank you for being here, and doing great work this season. Now, I must say… sashay away.
“Damn!” Magenta yells, as Chronologica chuckles.
Everyone in the back of the stage look flabbergasted.
“No, thank you for this.” Magenta bows.
Severa looks at the judges for a split second, before walking off without a word.
“...Damn!” Magenta says again, as the others laugh. “I’m strutting off with GRACE.”
Magenta raises her hands in the air, as she walks off with a cheer.
~
“First, you- Severa, how are you feeling with time?” Yasmin asks.
“I feel as if that’s a different girl. Kinda. She’s thinking she’s giving nothing, not caring- but she cares too much, she’s lost that war. I think of myself as effortlessly fierce- but I did get stressed. I wish I… walked off and stomped the stage.” Severa sighs. “Instead of that.”
“And that’s okay, because we all- get there, sometimes.” Princesita says. “It’s about what you do next.”
“I’m going to win, girl.” Severa jokes. “They gotta make another All Stars so this diva can take the title.”
Everyone chuckles.
“Magenta, how did you feel, about being the other half?”
“I am happy, because if I’m being damn honest, I didn’t expect to make it this far!” Magenta laughs. “And I was me the whole damn time.”
“I love you for being you.” Jupiter adds. “You’re real, Ms Simmons. We honor that.”
“And not everyone can say that.” Nymphe smirks.
Apocalyptica grips Bates' hands.
“Now, it’s time for us to celebrate… some titles.” Yasmin smiles. “First, our GOLD BOOT title of the Season- ugliest outfit. Winner of a $5000 grand prize….”
…
Starzanne Stripes and September Remembers arrive in what else, but red, white, and blue. September looks patchy- his face is painted red, white and blue, in an attempt to cover his beard. Starzanne and September are both wearing fringe dresses that look straight out of a car wash, and it’s the epitome of… awkward.
“Starzanne!”
Starzanne chuckles, grabbing the trophy.
“Anything to say, Starzanne?”
“I am now wearing a lot LESS red, white and blue.” Starzanne nods.
The others awkwardly chuckle.
“Now, our title of SHADE- The Shadiest C.U.N.T this season.” Yasmin smiles. “Can I have a drumroll?”
“Cleo?” Severa looks over at the empty seat laughing.
“SEVERA!” Yasmin cheers. “Condragulations, you’ve won $10,000!”
Severa chuckles, grabbing the sash. “Thank you,I’d like to thank Cleo, Alcohol, and the rest of you for being too boring to get confessionals!”
Lupe laughs dramatically.
“I’d say I’m surprised, but I’m not!”
Everyone laughs.
….
“Finally, MY successor.” Yasmin smiles. “This year, the Congenial title will win $20,000, sponsored by Virtue Beauty.”
Everyone looks excitedly.
“The Winner is… MAGENTA LEIGH SIMMONS!” Yasmin cheers, as everyone starts clapping.
“Yes, yes!” Magenta cheers, as Yasmin puts the sash on her.
“Do you have anything to say, my Queen?”
“I-” Magenta smiles. “Damn.”
Everyone cheers.
“She’s finally out of things to say everybody!” Kaia laughs.
“Ugh…” Apocalyptica whimpers, wiping her eyes, as the others look over.
“Popsicle, are you okay?” Lupe asks.
“I’m- I’m fine.” Apocalyptica sighs. “I just- am really happy for Magenta.”
Magenta smiles.
“Bullshit.” Nymphe looks over.
The room is quiet.
“You expected this win, and again, you’re inauthentic, you’re lying, and you’re not owning up to when you want something.” Nymphe responds.
“I-” Apocalyptica tears up, holding onto Bates. “I-”
“I do have a question to ask, actually, as the crowned Ms SHADE.” Severa smirks. “Ms, Popsicle- we noticed your lack of presence at the crowning. You weren’t at any of the cast parties we held to celebrate or any of the events we planned, so what’s really up?”
Nymphe looks over.
“What happened?”
“I didn’t feel up to it. I was a bit sad, and I really did want to be there- but I-I felt physically ill, and…”
“Bullshit, again.” Severa rolls her eyes.
“Alright, you guys can have your opinions on everyone’s actions, but we don’t need to gang up on her.” Bates says, raising their voice a little..
“I don’t know what any of you mean…” Apocalyptica sighs. “I just-”
“You wanted to win, so you’re bitter. You kept denying it- but clearly, you positioned yourself in a way to do well. And you lost. So, why not own up to it?” Nymphe asks.
“Ugh, Can you go fuck yourself?” Apocalyptica snaps.
“Woah.” Magenta says.
Everyone looks spooked.
“Popsicle… You don’t have to acknowledge them…” Bates whispers.
“Of course I wanted to win.” Apocalyptica exclaims loudly. “I wanted to prove alt drag, to prove myself, and I don’t think that trying to be nice while doing so is a sin. ” Apocalyptica says. “LIKE-”
“Because you weren’t being real.” Severa looks at Apocalyptica. “Not the sweet girl who always happens to copy others.”
“I- You can think whatever you want. I…Actually I’m not going to continue to engage with this narrative.” Apocalyptica stutters as she turns to hold onto Bates.
“If you owned being unoriginal, maybe you’d have won.” Nymphe shrugs.
“Okay hold up- I’m mad she didn’t show up to our get togethers either but unoriginal?” Kaia inserts herself into the conversation. “We all get inspired and learn and take notes from others, like that’s the point of drag families, Delilah taught me so much, does that make me unoriginal? Have none of us ever felt inspired after seeing a good drag show or look?”
“I learned a lot from everyone in my short time here, my drag has changed a lot from all of you.” Madame Maine smiles.
“Girl, there’s a difference between being inspired and trying to steal my signature move the week after I leave.” Severa turns back at Kaia and Madame Maine.
“And were you the first to ever do that move? You came up with it with absolutely no influence from anyone else.” Apocalyptica bites.
“I don’t remember getting any credit or even a shoutout.” Severa stares at Popsicle.
“Do you give credits to who helped teach you how to dip every time you do it?” Apocalyptica retorts. “Whatever, i'm just so over this conversation.”
“Cool.” Nymphe bluntly states.
Apocalyptica rolls her eyes. “Cool.”
A couple of seconds pass of silence.
“Well, thank you all for a lovely season.” Yasmin smiles breaking the tension. “Now, before we go… Here's a sneak peak of SEASON 6 of Chronlogica’s DRAG RACE, coming soon!”
~
This has been… magic.
“It sure has.” Nymphe nods, sipping her pink tea. “But the magic… lives on and continues, as does the journey of the forest. It is… eternal.”
It's magic, you know…
Thirteen figures flash, as someone grabs a potion labeled ‘IMMUNITY’.

Madam Maine re-wears her finale look: a top hat, fitted black and white suit and a pair of silver boots with a cane. She bows and smiles broadly, looking nervous.
“Kaia K. Beauvoir!”
Kaia strides out confidently in an elaborate gold and silver pageant dress, with silver hair that glitters with metallic extensions.
“Cwunchie!”
Cwunchie is dressed as a little yellow plastic flower, with big petals and a tiny narrow stem. Her arms and legs are constricted at her sides in the stem and she hops along the runway towards her chair, grinning wildly.
“Now, let’s welcome the elephant in the room.” Yasmin smiles. “Bates Baghdashi, everyone!”
Bates arrives in a sepia-painted Agatha-Christie-esque detective look, with decadent shades of tan, brown, and black, an oversized magnifying glass, a briefcase, and a messy mop of Sherlockian curls.
“Oh, I love this.” Yasmin claps.
Bates lights an oversized origami faux cigarette, pretends to smoke from it, then flicks it away, where it unfurls into a bird, already aflame, and blasts away into the air, powered by a miniature firework.
Madam Maine looks very afraid for a moment, and starts to stand up.
“Before we continue, I want to let everyone know that their safety is assured! You are not in danger.” Yasmin smiles at Maine. Bates blushes.
Maine sits back down.
“Say hello, it’s Mermaid princess, Cleo Mertoris!”
Cleo wears a golden seashell bikini top stoned to the gods, showcasing some clear, recent work done on her chest, as well as a tight blue mini dress, as she flicks back her long luscious ginger hair with a smirk.
“Drag Princesita!”
Princesita waves in a sepia coloured maxi dress and bald head look, with bronze glitter on the top of her now shaved head, as she spins around with a smile on her face.
“It’s Briar Midnights!”
Briar walks out dressed quite similar to Ambrose’s traditional look- a tophat and sleek black trench coat, with jet black, wet hair and a half-smirk.
“Ms Stripes, Starzanne!”
The others look unimpressed as Starzanne walks out in an American Eagle style look, with feathers, glitter and fringe wrapped around her body.
“Ambrose NOIR!”
Amborse wears a black plaid mini skirt and white linen shirt, going for a rare fem drag look, with long black braids with hundreds of little pins wrapped into the braids.
“S-S-e-v-e-r-a!”
Severa rocks BODY on the main stage, wearing a bikini top and denim short combo, as well as a sensible pair of blue boots and pigtails to add the final touch.
“Magenta! Leigh! Simmons!”
Magenta gaps, wearing a Magenta coloured plaid look, wrapped around her body to create a fitted garment, along with a Magenta pair of sneakers.
“Jupiter Sterling!”
Jupiter rocks a head to toe, douchebag Vuitton look- jacket, shirt, pants, glasses and a backwards baseball cap.
“Apocalyptica!”
Apocalyptica looks slightly displeased- wearing a bright, toxic green look that appears to have toxic slime wrapped around her, in a similar vein to a past look.
“Lupe LaBelleza!”
Lupe wears a sensible pussycat wig, red coat and matching pencil skirt, with a black sheer turtleneck and a red fedora, along with a pair of black sheer socks being held up by garter belts and classic black pumps with a smile.
“And our winner, Nymphe d’Azote!”
Wearing her crown on her shoulders, her head too small for her crown, Nymphe is dressed in a glittering yellow robe, wearing a matching facemask looking ready for a spa moment, along with a wig, made entirely of bubbles!
Yasmin smiles, handing people plates of rice. “Now, today we're spilling ALL of the TEA. At the start of our season, we said goodbye to some girls that some fans really wanted to see more of. Say hello to Madam Maine, Miss Kaia K. Beauvoir, and…”
“CWUNCHIE!!!!” Cwunchie interrupts happily.
Severa rolls her eyes.
Cleo rolls her eyes.
Kaia rolls her eyes.
Severa glares at Cleo.
Cleo glares at Kaia.
Kaia glares at Severa.
Yasmin smiles. “Madam Maine. Once and for all, can you tell us why you’re named after a state you’re not even from?”
“Oh! Haha.” Madam Maine laughs nervously, eyeing the cameras. “I really like Maine. I have a French Canadian aunt who lives up there.”
“French Canada? Is she related to French Montana?” Magenta asks.
“Oh…no.” Madam Maine smiles awkwardly.
“A lot of our viewers this season questioned whether you were totally ready for the Drag Race experience. What’s your take?”
“I will be honest. I wasn’t.” Maine flushes. “I don’t think that I totally understood the caliber of some of these performers, and…I was in such awe of them. I feel really lucky that I’ve gotten to know some of my castmates, including all the first outs before me. Jupiter and Princesita especially, I really feel have shown me love.”
“You’re a sweetheart, honey.” Princesita smiles. “I hope you get your chance to come back someday too.”
“Are we going to do that every few seasons? Because it’ll get old, QUICK.” Severa responds. “Twists are only twists if we don’t see them coming.”
“Agreed.” Kaia says.
Princesita frowns.
Yasmin looks at Kaia. “Kaia, you represented, I believe, our first instance of a child of Drag Race–that is, your drag mom, The Mother Delilah, competed on season 2.”
“That’s right.” Kaia nods, keeping one eye warily on Severa and Cleo. “As a trans woman, it was important to me to be part of a legacy of successful trans women.”
“Delilah was successful?” Severa half jests with a smirk. “I think there have been plenty of trans women on the show who were more successful.”
Lupe looks like she wants to say something, but doesn’t.
“Whatever, I’m proud to be a daughter of Miss Delilah regardless and even more proud of having a healthy and kind relationship with the woman who inspired my craft.” Kaia says haughtily. “Not all of us can say that after all.”
“Ooooooooo…” the room roars.
Severa makes a displeased face and shrugs.
“One question about your time on the show, Kaia.” Yasmin looks around. “Why do you, in particular, think you ended up going home so early? A lot of fans were very surprised.”
“I think it’s quite obvious that Cleo’s leadership in that challenge was disastrous for me and everyone else on it. I’d assume that Cleo’s current appearance reflects how people received her during this season.”
“You mean my gorgeous knockers?” Cleo shimmies.
“I mean, your cheap bra and panty set.” Kaia snaps. “And-”
“You’re so smug.” Cleo interrupts. “As if you have anything to be smug about. Not with that mug, you don’t, mate.”
“At least I can still afford my makeup.” Kaia shoots back.
Cleo huffs and crosses her arms.
“Cwunchie! You were a force of nature for a short time with us this season.” Yasmin looks nervous to even speak to Cwunchie.
“WOOOOOOHOOOOO!” Cwunchie yells. “This show did NOT disappoint! I–”
It then cuts to an ad break.
~
“Welcome back to the Chronologica’s Drag Race Season 5 Reunion! Onto, the infamous, Bates!” Yasmin smiles. “You had one of the most DRAMATIC moments, ever in history. Let’s look back.”
Bates grins as the cast turns to watch the TV screen.
~
Will the following-
Wait.
Everyone looks concerned. For a moment, the stage is perfectly still, as the judges and racers wait with uncertainty.
In the distance, sirens are heard. The sirens get closer. And closer.
Suddenly, a group of police officers in full riot gear burst into the room through a production door. Crew members and producers look shocked and frantic. The police officers are led by a stern-faced man with a badge that reads "Officer Jeffery," who steps forward, his hand gripping a pair of handcuffs.
What?
Office Jeffrey points directly towards the racers. Everyone looks to see who he’s pointing at.
Bates stares back at the officer expressionless, blood still dripping from their look.
"Mahdi Hakimian?” The police officers crowd onto the stage towards Bates.
“Oh my god.” Magenta gasps.
Princesita starts to say something, and Jupiter reaches over to cover Princesita’s mouth.
“Yes.” Bates gulps.
Officer Jeffery reaches towards Bates. “Turn around and place your hands behind your back.”
Bates stands silently, his face expressionless.
“I am placing you under arrest in connection with the murders of Javad Tahmasb, Hamidreza Entezami, Mohamad Askari, Mostafa Shahi, Ali Reza Arjmand, Arman Nousari, Elahe Nousari, Setareh Tarokh, and Mohammed Tarokh."
Magenta falls to the ground in her bra and panty set, as everyone looks in stunned silence.
Bates slowly raises their hands as the police officers move closer, handcuffing them.
Everyone looks in disbelief. The judges look shocked and horrified.
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”
Bates looks at Apocalyptica, still expressionless, and speaks softly. “Christian…I’m sorry.”
“You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights?”
Bates gives a nearly imperceptible nod.
Apocalyptica’s eyes well with tears. “Batesy?”
~
“Traumatic.” Apocalyptica looks at Bates, who exhales.
“To explain this….” Yasmin looks over. “Rachelle Mirage!”
Rachelle walks in with a smile.
“You two have worked hard together- tell us, what happened?!”
“I am, as we’d all know, originally from Iran. And- I knew it was a risk.” Bates exhales. “And they found out, and tried to have me extradited back from the US, for an alleged murder.”
“You killed someone?” Magenta gasps.
“A set up. Some of my former schoolmates had reported to the government that I had been cast here. So they falsified police records to make it look like I had done something which… was just because I, a Queer person, was representing the country in a way that didn’t match their… image.” Bates nods.
“Then comes… me.” Rachelle grins. “I could not let this happen.”
“Thank you, Rachelle.” Bates smiles.
“I felt something was off. And, I served as a character witness in the International Criminal Court, where… Eventually, after little evidence, we were able to not only have this gorgeous artist freed- but, I pulled some strings…”
“And I am now living in Denver.” Bates responds, holding Apocalyptica’s hand.
“What a shocking story.” Yasmin smiles. “And Apocalyptica, I must ask- are you two…?”
“We live literally across the street from each other.” Apocalyptica smiles.
The two grin.
“Now next up! She was one of our famous RETURNEES- Ms Cleo Mertoris, who won her first challenge- then proceeded to go home. Cleo, how did you feel about your journey?”
“I think… I should’ve gone much further than I did, to be honest.” Cleo shrugs.
“Girl...” Severa stares at Cleo for a few seconds. “You deserve exactly what you got- because you weren’t talented enough to survive a lipsync.”
“Not Miss ‘Double Sashay’ talking.” Cleo gasps. “At least I could pay for my tits myself, and not resort to sugar daddies huh Sevvie… Fucking bitch!” In a flash, Cleo, angrily standing, throws her drink onto Severa, who yelps.

“Yes, yes!” Magenta cheers, as Yasmin puts the sash on her.
“Do you have anything to say, my Queen?”
“I-” Magenta smiles. “Damn.”
Everyone cheers.
“She’s finally out of things to say everybody!” Kaia laughs.
“Ugh…” Apocalyptica whimpers, wiping her eyes, as the others look over.
“Popsicle, are you okay?” Lupe asks.
“I’m- I’m fine.” Apocalyptica sighs. “I just- am really happy for Magenta.”
Magenta smiles.
“Bullshit.” Nymphe looks over.
The room is quiet.
“You expected this win, and again, you’re inauthentic, you’re lying, and you’re not owning up to when you want something.” Nymphe responds.
“I-” Apocalyptica tears up, holding onto Bates. “I-”
“I do have a question to ask, actually, as the crowned Ms SHADE.” Severa smirks. “Ms, Popsicle- we noticed your lack of presence at the crowning. You weren’t at any of the cast parties we held to celebrate or any of the events we planned, so what’s really up?”
Nymphe looks over.
“What happened?”
“I didn’t feel up to it. I was a bit sad, and I really did want to be there- but I-I felt physically ill, and…”
“Bullshit, again.” Severa rolls her eyes.
“Alright, you guys can have your opinions on everyone’s actions, but we don’t need to gang up on her.” Bates says, raising their voice a little..
“I don’t know what any of you mean…” Apocalyptica sighs. “I just-”
“You wanted to win, so you’re bitter. You kept denying it- but clearly, you positioned yourself in a way to do well. And you lost. So, why not own up to it?” Nymphe asks.
“Ugh, Can you go fuck yourself?” Apocalyptica snaps.
“Woah.” Magenta says.
Everyone looks spooked.
“Popsicle… You don’t have to acknowledge them…” Bates whispers.
“Of course I wanted to win.” Apocalyptica exclaims loudly. “I wanted to prove alt drag, to prove myself, and I don’t think that trying to be nice while doing so is a sin. ” Apocalyptica says. “LIKE-”
“Because you weren’t being real.” Severa looks at Apocalyptica. “Not the sweet girl who always happens to copy others.”
“I- You can think whatever you want. I…Actually I’m not going to continue to engage with this narrative.” Apocalyptica stutters as she turns to hold onto Bates.
“If you owned being unoriginal, maybe you’d have won.” Nymphe shrugs.
“Okay hold up- I’m mad she didn’t show up to our get togethers either but unoriginal?” Kaia inserts herself into the conversation. “We all get inspired and learn and take notes from others, like that’s the point of drag families, Delilah taught me so much, does that make me unoriginal? Have none of us ever felt inspired after seeing a good drag show or look?”
“I learned a lot from everyone in my short time here, my drag has changed a lot from all of you.” Madame Maine smiles.
“Girl, there’s a difference between being inspired and trying to steal my signature move the week after I leave.” Severa turns back at Kaia and Madame Maine.
“And were you the first to ever do that move? You came up with it with absolutely no influence from anyone else.” Apocalyptica bites.
“I don’t remember getting any credit or even a shoutout.” Severa stares at Popsicle.
“Do you give credits to who helped teach you how to dip every time you do it?” Apocalyptica retorts. “Whatever, i'm just so over this conversation.”
“Cool.” Nymphe bluntly states.
Apocalyptica rolls her eyes. “Cool.”
A couple of seconds pass of silence.
“Well, thank you all for a lovely season.” Yasmin smiles breaking the tension. “Now, before we go… Here's a sneak peak of SEASON 6 of Chronlogica’s DRAG RACE, coming soon!”
~
This has been… magic.
“It sure has.” Nymphe nods, sipping her pink tea. “But the magic… lives on and continues, as does the journey of the forest. It is… eternal.”
It's magic, you know…
Thirteen figures flash, as someone grabs a potion labeled ‘IMMUNITY’.

2024.05.04 04:25 therealalian Sirius the Dog Star, Secret Societies, the Foundation of America and the End of The World
 | What's good everyone! submitted by therealalian to u/therealalian [link] [comments] I've been waiting to make this post for quite some time now and I want to point something out right off the bat. I apologize if this post causes anyone distress. The topics I am covering will be laid out in such a way that will challenge mostly everyone's view of the world today. Please feel free to hit me with any questions and I will try my best to answer them. Let's begin.. Sirius, The Dog Star.Sirius is a star found within the Canis 9 Major cluster that is located about 8.6 light-years away from Earth. Sirius has a plethora of nicknames for very good reason. It is the brightest star in the night sky. Some nicknames include:
The main nickname for Sirius is the Dog Star. 🐕🌟 This name is because of the cluster Canis 9 Major where Sirius resides. Canis = Canine = Dog. The Egyptians personified this star with masculine and feminine variations known as Isis (Goddess of magic) and Anubis the Dog (Guide to the afterlife). Many ancient cultures and societies believe that Sirius is a gateway to the heavens/afterlife. The FreeMasons call it the Blazing Star of the East. The female section of the FreeMasons are known as the Order of the Eastern Star. All masonic lodges in the world face the East because of Sirius, this includes the Lincoln memorial in Washington DC. As many people know, the United States of America was founded by FreeMasons. In fact, on July 4th 1776, Sirius was aligned with our Sun. Our July 4th independence day is a masonic "blessing" of the conjunction between our Sun and Sirius. This day marks the beginning of the "Dog days of summer". During this period, Sirius will migrate back to the East until the beginning/mid of September where it will rise in the Mornings. (Hello Morning Star!) By the time the autumn equinox arrives on September 22nd, Sirius will be up bright and early to the eastern sky. 9/11, Sirius, and Secret SocietiesSo I'm sure all of you know what 9/11 is. The terrorist attack on America in late 2001.Remember what I just said about Sirius rising in September? Well check this out. The FreeMasons are obsessed with the numbers 9 and 11 and Sirius for many reasons. The majority of US presidents are freemasons too, keep this in mind. 9 is the end of a cycle/Era. 10 is one full complete generation. 11 is 1 above god/completion, the new generation. 11 is also necessary to reach the number 33, the highest degree of masonry. 9/11 was a masonic ritual to symbolize the end of an Era. Specifically the age of Pisces as we enter the Age of Aquarius. The Ethiopian new year is celebrated on 9/11. The number 11 is represented by the twin pillars out front of Solomons Temple. These twin pillars are known as Jachin and Boaz. These twin pillars represent our Binary universe. The combination of the divine masculine and divine feminine. Our life is entirely Binary. 1 and 0. Black and white. Yin and Yang. Male and female. In and Out. Up and down. Forward and backward. Left and right. As above, So below. The Royal Arch of freemasonry is the symbolic gateway to heaven through the balance and unification of the masculine and feminine energies found within all of us. Sirius is the Blazing sta all seeing eye/ gateway to heaven always depicted between the twin pillars. Twin pillars = Twin towers The Rapper Jay Z released his album "The BluePrint" on 9/11/2001. Jay Z is a well known FreeMason. Check out the lyrics to "FreeMason" by Jay Z and Rick Ross if you don't believe me. If you look at the world trade center from above, you can see that it mimics the positioning of the great pyramids of giza. These 3 structures are aligned with Orions belt which points directly to Sirius. The twin towers represent the twin pillars of masonry. Jachin and Boaz. The Statue of Liberty is actually a statue of Isis. She even holds the torch (Loki's torch). This is all symbolism for Sirius. The only Dog who died during the 9/11 attacks was named Sirius... yeah... not even joking. The character Sirius Black from Harry potter is able to shape-shift back and forth from a Dog into a human. There is a book called Dogsbody about someone who is forced to live out this reincarnation on earth as a Dog who comes from Sirius. The Star that falls out of the sky in The movie "The Truman Show" is Sirius. This movie explains how our life is entirely fabricated by those who control the game. (Secret societies) As many of you know, I work in the music industry with some very famous people like Drake, Lil Uzi, Yeat, Playboi Carti, Ice Spice and many others. Drakes most recent album is called "For All The Dogs". The original release date for this album was set on 9/22/2023 on the autumn solstice. 22 years and 11 days after the 9/11 attacks. However, he ended up releasing it on October 6th at 6am with a music video at 6pm... the last song on the album is called "Polar Opposites" Drake has been seen recently posting things like "ALL MY DOGS ARE GOING TO HEAVEN".... yeah.. Let's talk about Ice Spice for a second. A new upcoming artist who has been getting all kinds of promo from the biggest places. Ice Spices real name is Isis... Her personal producer is named RIOT USA. Lately RIOT has been using the statue of liberty emoji an awful lot under Ice Spices posts... 🗽🗽 Ice spice has a new album coming soon called Y2K! I'm sure all of you know what Y2K was supposed to be.. she's even posted "This is gonna be a shift, it's gonna shift things. Love it or hate it, you will do one or another". What could this shift be? Unfortunately I may have an idea. Sirius and our Sun, a Binary system, the Golden Age, and the cyclic cataclysm/End of the World/ Great ResetThere is a theory which claims that our Sun and Sirius are actually part of a binary star system. This means that our Sun and Sirius orbit eachother in cycles.Apparently this cycle would take about 24,000 years. This could explain our zodiac which is based around the number 12. Our whole concept of time is based on the cycles of the stars. However every 12 thousand years as we are entering/leaving the current Era, there seems to be a cataclysm which resets the earth. Our most recent world ending reset was the younger dryas Era, which was roughly 12,000 years ago.... Anyone see that new Netflix show "The 3 Body Problem"? This show is quite literally about a Binary star system and tracking the cycles between the dark ages and the golden ages. When 2 stars in a binary system approach eachother, this symbolizes a golden age, and when they move away from eachother, this is the dark age. When the golden age comes around, the collective consciousness of the earth is raised in unison as we fuse with the energy from the other star, in our case with Sirius. I have seen an uncountable number of posts and references to "The Great Awakening 2024" since last year. I believe this is because we are entering the age of Aquarius as we approach the Golden Era upon the return of Sirius. I know how fucking crazy all of this sounds. Andre 3000 recently released an album which is called "The New Blue Sun". This is all about the return of Sirius. He has even been going around and performing this album live at various Masonic Lodges. Go figure... lol. So while a golden age of awakening sounds awesome for all of us, I believe the elites of the world have a much different plan specifically for this transitional period.. You see, humans waking up and becoming collectively aware of the corruption and lies forced upon us for millennia is not a good thing for the Elites. They want to maintain their control all the way into the Golden Age. People like me are an incredible pain in the ass for them. To do this, they would have to purposely trigger the cyclical plasma reset and wipe out the majority of humans so that we aren't able to fully "Wake up". If they wipe us all out and only keep a few million or so leftover, they can force those who are left after the reset to fuse with AI. This is perfect for them because then they have full control over our minds, and thus full control for the entirety of the incoming Golden age. If they don't trigger the reset, we will all wake up very soon and rebel against them. They can't afford to let this happen. Go take a look at the news and let me know how many protests you see right now... this means people are waking up and they are PISSED. This is where the great reset comes in. The great reset, to my deeply well researched understanding, is a purposefully triggered ElectroMagnetic Plasma Change-Over Event. This theory claims that the earth moves through cycles of polar shifts every so often, usually thousands of years between shifts. During these pole shifts, the earth's electromagnetic field is weakened. This causes colorful pink/purple/red aurora to appear all over the planet, which cause incredible storms and a "light show in the heavens," one could say. This has been happening A LOT the past few months as we are entering our "solar maximum," which happens every 11 years, resulting in the sun emitting giant flares of plasma energy. This event is known as the EMPCOE, The Rapture, Ragnarok, or the Great Reset. It is the beginning and the end if all life on earth. During this event when it officially begins, the sky will turn red and there would be massive bolts of plasma lightning that come from the sky and carve out chunks of the earth due to our weakened electromagnetic field and the spike in solar flare activity. This theory likely explains how we got our Grand Canyon. I have a post about this here https://www.reddit.comtherealalian/s/n44TtdJsbk When this event happens, it literally resets the earth back to the beginning. Earthquakes turn mountains into rubble, lightning carves huge chunks of the earth, volcanoes all erupt, aurora borealis appear all over the planet, a huge flood from multiple tsunamis wash over the earth and bury all the history and then everything flash freezes afterwards once the electromagnetic field comes back. It's interesting when you see how many records there are of numerous civilizations from all over the world that have a very similar "flood myth" or the "ice age". Most things will die, but there will be a few people and creatures who survive into the new world. What would the survivors do you might ask? Well they might start carving images into the rocks that are around them so there is evidence of what they witnessed. Then people will repopulate and build new religions based on this event, as well as secret societies. The secret societies and religious leaders will go around and gather all the secrets/technology of the "old world" so that they can be used to move humanity forward again. Some people will rebel against the religions and secret societies, claiming no knowledge should be hidden. I'm not religious at all but I'm pretty sure this is what Jesus was trying to do and then they killed him. Kinda like these days now, how it's "the norm" for whistle-blowers to be killed for exposing secret truths. The same people killing our whistle-blowers today are the same people who killed Jesus thousands of years ago, I bet any money. Then they build a religion around the guy to capitalize off of it and further spread division between all of us while the elites wait for the next reset. I wonder why that is? Greed and power are notorious for corrupting civilizations. History repeats. We live in the circle of life, the samsara. Welcome to the cycle. I enjoy the lyrics for "Sirius Blac" by earl sweatshirt (a FreeMason) "It's cyclical that's for certain The sickness this type of motion bring Windows open, I know this breeze Lucifer son of the morning" And then also "It's only big fish in the pond Jump in, no risk, no reward No joke, serious as stars This the one I remember when I'm lost In my thoughts thinkin' too hard Been gone a few winters too long Couldn't miss this one, uh, yeah" I like these lyrics a lot because of the mention of big fish in the pond. The Dogon Tribe claim that amphibian mermaid gods came to earth from Sirius to teach mankind knowledge. They called them the Nommo.

2024.04.29 05:24 No_Deal9253 The Jetsons and The Future of House Cleaning
 | In the year 2121, humanity had achieved great advancements in technology and society. Flying cars zipped through the skies, robots were commonplace in households, and people lived in futuristic eco-friendly cities. But the most amazing development was the creation of a virtual reality world where people could live out their wildest dreams. The best part? In this virtual world, everyone could be anything they wanted to be - from a superhero to a mermaid. It was a world where imagination knew no bounds and happiness was the only currency. The future of humanity was bright, filled with endless possibilities and endless joy. submitted by No_Deal9253 to u/No_Deal9253 [link] [comments] When we think of such a future, the movie Her with Joaquin Phoenix and The Jetsons, a Hanna-Barbera animated sitcom from the 60s set in the year 2062, come to mind. What if The Jetsons lived in 2024? In the year 2024, the Jetsons find themselves facing a new challenge as technology continues to advance at a rapid pace. George Jetson, a hardworking employee at Spacely Space Sprockets, is struggling to keep up with the demands of his job as new automated systems threaten to replace human workers. Meanwhile, Jane Jetson is trying to balance her career as a fashion designer with her responsibilities as a mother to their teenage daughter Judy and young son Elroy. Judy is navigating the complexities of teenage life in a world where social media and virtual reality are ubiquitous, while Elroy is fascinated by the latest advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence. As the Jetsons try to adapt to the ever-changing world around them, they must also contend with the challenges of modern family life, from balancing work and home responsibilities to finding quality time to spend together as a family. Along the way, they discover that no matter how advanced technology may become, the most important things in life are still love, family, and friendship. Together, the Jetsons learn to embrace the future while holding onto the values that have always been important to them, proving that no matter what year it is, family will always be the most important thing of all. What would happen to Rosie The Maid? The future of Rosie, the maid from The Jetsons, is uncertain as the show is set in a futuristic world with advanced technology. In the original series, Rosie is depicted as a helpful and sassy robot maid who assists the Jetson family with their household chores. As technology continues to advance in real life, it is possible that Rosie’s character could be updated and reimagined in future adaptations of The Jetsons. She could potentially be given new abilities and features to reflect the latest advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence. Overall, the future of Rosie will likely depend on how The Jetsons is reimagined and adapted for modern audiences in the years to come. Chores to re-imagine are 1. Cleaning the house, including dusting, vacuuming, and mopping floors 2. Doing laundry, including washing, drying, and folding clothes 3. Washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen 4. Making beds and changing linens 5. Organizing and tidying up rooms 6. Grocery shopping and meal preparation 7. Taking out the trash and recycling 8. Watering plants and caring for pets 9. Running errands as needed 10. Assisting with any other household tasks as requested by the Jetson family. As a cleaning company, we can’t help to wonder: do we think robots can replace house cleaning workers? Robots have the potential to replace some tasks performed by house cleaning workers, such as vacuuming and mopping floors. However, there are many aspects of house cleaning that require human judgment, dexterity, and decision-making skills that robots are not yet capable of replicating. Additionally, many people prefer the personal touch and attention to detail that human cleaners provide. So while robots may be able to assist with some cleaning tasks, it is unlikely that they will completely replace human house cleaning workers in the near future, at least for now. So let’s imagine the near future “What if” scenario: If house cleaning companies were to replace human workers with robots, it is likely that they would see several benefits and changes in their operations.

2024.04.26 19:00 seashia Ideal summer hairstyle: twist or sew in?
Hi guys! I plan on going to multiple countriesthis summer and I know that it’s going to be very hot and humid but I also plan on being in the water so much you would’ve thought the little mermaid was based off of me. With that being said, I was thinking of getting butt length medium-sized twist for vacation because I think it’ll be cute ( never had them b4). I eagerly decided to take a section of my hair and practice the twist that I was going for to see how I feel and how it takes and I’ve had it in my head for about two weeks. Since then I notice is the places where I added hair and where my own hair ends is somewhat noticeable close up (clearly a technique error I have to fix if I do decide to do it and I also did a blunt cut recently which is probably why my hair is sticking out where my natural hair ends). then it dawned on me that I could do a sew in with hair that matches my own natural hair and probably do a versatile sew in because I won’t mind washing that little piece of hair that’s going to be out. I’ve also never had a sew I before so I would like to know if anyone had done on for vacation/ being in the water, and would like to know how difficult maintenance was or if they enjoyed the style. I was wondering if it’s more ideal then to do twist. I don’t wanna have my natural twist because I already do that style for the other 300 days of the year so I want to switch it up for the summer. I also want something that’s water friendly and something I haven’t had before. Ty!

CHAPTER 2
As Jon raced through the streets towards his untimely and bizzare end, the boat bobbed and weaved through tiny streams of rain water. To Jon's young and active imagination the tiny paper boat was an engineering marvel, a boat as unsinkable as the titanic had once hoped to be. The purpose of such a boat seemed to change every few minutes, with Jon churning out new and fantastical scenarios one after the other, each he liked more than the last.
This boat had been everything from a pirate ship sailing towards a lost city filled with plentiful treasure, Noah's arc sailing on the flood that killed humanity, to even a world war 1 navy vessel protecting their country from enemy nations, but right now he was imagining it as Prince Eric's boat from th Little Mermaid. That movie also happened to be Jon's favorite movie, and so it was Jon's favorite scenario to imagine for the boat, but really Jon liked pretty much anything disney related.
"Everyone on deck!" He shouted, happily racing after it "Move move move!". As he yelled and followed it, Jon found himself overwhelmed with a sudden fuzzy feeling, the feeling of pure adoration for everyone in his life, but especially Tom. He dearly wished he was here to experience the rain and boat with him, it just didn't feel fair that Tom had to stay at home sick all day while Jon got to play and have fun. Perhaps when he got home later he'd make him a nice get well card with pretty flowers on it and a drawing of the whole family holding hands.
He could have plenty of fun on his own, but Tom just always managed to make made things better. He had the greatest ideas for games and never seemed to get sick of him, and even when he did, he was good at hiding it. Jon just couldn't wait to tell him all the exciting adventures he went on with his little boat later, and he couldn't wait to hear his reaction to all he had to say either.
Spontaneously, the streams current kicked up a notice and the boat began to speed up, as though magic had thrusted it forward and onto a path Jon could not quite follow. He tried his best to keep up, but the road it turned down was hardly Sesame street. When the autumn storms had hit Derry and rumors of floods were being spread, this was one of the streets the water had damaged the hardest. Bits and pieces had cracked off the side and were floating down stream just like Jon's beloved paper boat, along with broken twigs, busted bottles, and any other rubbish it could find to carry.
Large orange construction signs that read "Derry Public Works" were all over the place, looking almost like hurdles you'd see runners jump over in the olympics. Jon attempted to dodge them and keep up with the boat, and at first he succeeded, but either from the rain or panic, he got a little twisted around and inevitably missed one. He smacked his forehead right on the top and fell down on his back, the hard asphalt hurting him a little as he skidded on the wet ground. When he finally found the strength to get up and bear with the pain, the boat had already sailed far out of his reach, and no matter how fast he ran he would never catch up to it. There was a brief moment where it seemed like he would, where the hope he'd snatch it back up and return home with no further inconvenience wasn't so misplaced, but it was a very brief moment and not meant to last.
"Noo!" Jon cried, watching his hand made toy zoom on by, only a tantalizing few inches out of arms reach. If he lost that boat Tom would surely be pissed off, and he was certain he couldn't just ask for another one. What was he supposed to do, go back home and admit he lost the boat cause he didn't see a giant orange construction sign? Forget Tom thinking he was a baby, he'd look like a total idiot! He had to catch it, but catching this boat was like trying to catch butterflies with your bare hands, infuriatingly impossible.
The stream carrying the boat twisted snd turned down the road, until eventually meeting an abrupt end down a sewer drain on the curb. Jon watched as it disappeared down the drain, right along with all the happiness he had felt watching it float through the stream prior. "Nohohoooo!!" He cried again, dropping to his knees as he missed grabbing the stupid thing by just the skin of his teeth. The sudden drop scraped them badly, and now his knees were stinging so much his eyes were watering, but he was a little to angry with himself to cry from the pain.
"Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!" Jon shouted, banging his fist against the top of the sewer drain, had he not been so sheltered he would have said many and much more extreme curses than just damnit. "Oh noo Tom's gonna kill me..." he groaned, if he could kick himself in the butt he would have. Well that was that, he lost the boat, nothing else left to do but crawl on home with his tail between his legs and shamefully admit to Tom he lost his new toy. Fuck. He was certain he'd be so upset, and he wondered if he could figure out how to make his own paper boat to repay him later. Maybe he coul ev- Jon suddenly jumped back.
He blinked rapidly, not so sure if what he was seeing was really in front of him or perhaps a trick of the eye. From deep within the foul wet darkness of the sewer drain emerged two sparkling grey eyes, as shiny as two brand new silver dollars or an unsheathed sword. They seemed to glow in the darkness like an animal, and for a moment, Jon was deeply worried he might have come across an alligator roaming in the sewer. But that was ridiculous, there was no such thing as alligators in the UK, the climate was far too cold for them to live in the wild, but Jon's child mind couldn't understsnd that. All that mattered was that Jon had been to the zoo and seen them before, and the thought of one escaping into the sewer system terrified him to no end.
If not a gator, then it had to at least be some other large predator animal, sizing him up with malicious and hungry intent. And yet, despite the animalistic nature of these eyes, there seemed to be more beneath them than your average animal, an awareness that could only come from something able to speak, learn, and communicate with humans. Whatever it was, Jon did not want to stick around and find out, but before he could get up and run, a voice called out from the sewer, a voice that belonged to those hungry, silver dollar eyes.
"Hiya Johnny." The voice called, oddly pleasant for a voice coming from a dark drain. Jon paused and looked back down "Who is that?" asked Jon, curious but not quite panicking. The presence of the voice seemed to clear his fear of it being some kind of monster or animal, especially as it was a kind, joyful voice, one you'd probably hear from a cartoon character. But there was still a somewhat off undertone to it, something gruff, shakey, and disjointed, almost as if it was trying with all it's might to keep the voice together but couldn't, like a puzzle where the pieces just never quite fit right. Something that seemed to scream "Not natural" in big flashy neon. He stepped into the light, which didn't help all too much seeing as he was in a sewer on a cloudy day, but it worked well enough. To Jon's surprise, the identity of the individual inside of this drain was neither some monster nor even a deranged hobo. What Jon saw emerge from the shadows, was a humble circus clown, smiling widely like he was about to crack his next joke.
His entire appearance was a mixture of grey's, blacks, and whites, as if some one had plucked him out of an old 1930's advertisement for a traveling circus. At least, Jon thought it was a him, he found it looked more masculine than feminine, but not nearly enough to say for certain one or the other. He- no- IT wore a baggy stormy grey clown costume, with poofy white buttons and a large ebony ruffled collar. At it's neck was a black bowtie, and on it's arms were many grey and darker grey stripes that went horizontally down his arms until coming to an end at it's gloved hands that were very akin to Mickey Mouse. It's face was unsurprisingly painted like all other clowns are, with a large nose, black lips, and gaudy paint around the eyes to accentuate it's expression. The face underneath all that paint looked decently young, but not quite so young he was around Tom's age. He looked to be no older than his father, and even had wrinkles underneath his eyes and smile lines on the corners of his mouth that signified a long and joyous life. The only part of him that was not entirely grey, black, or white, was the things hair, which was brown, a little unkempt, and somewhat curly. The silver eyed clown smiled wide, it's hungry eyes looking much softer and kinder now that Jon could see his smiling face.
"Aren't you gonna stop and say hello?" The thing asked. Jon looked around the street, a little worried some one might see him and wonder who he was talking to, but there wasn't a soul in sight. "I'm not 'sposed to talk to strangers, my daddy and brudder said so." he explained, showing a surprising amount of caution for a six year old. The creature smiled wider and nodded "ah, that's very wise of your daddy and "brudder", Jon, very wise indeed. I suppose it was rather silly of me to not introduce myself to you first, my mistake.".
The clown threw his hands up and wiggled his fingers "I am Bingbong, the dancing clown! But you..." he out stretched his hand for Jon to shake it, "Can call me Bing." he winked. Jon looked at the hand and hesitated before ultimately giving in and shaking it like they were old friends, never once stopping to wonder how this clown knew his name. "Jon meet Bing, Bing meet Jon, now we're not strangers anymore, kee-rect?" It said, and Jon giggled.
"I guess so, but what are you doing down in the sewer? Clowns don't usually lurk down there." He asked. Jon was born a little too late for clowns, his taste in child entertainment skewed towards the likes of Mr. Rogers and Jim Henson, but he'd seen them at carnivals before and was familiar with the general concept. "Storm blew me away! Blew the whole circus away! the elephants, the tents, the rides! Poof!" said It, waving his hands for emphasis.
If Jon was ten years older he would have naturally questioned such an excuse, but to such a young child the image of a clown being picked up by a tornado and gently shoved down a sewer drain was as valid an excuse as it was hilarious. "Oh my goodness!" He exclaimed, giggling. Then It quickly licked it's lips, too quickly for Jon to really notice, but he had licked them and it was quite unsettling. He was salivating over something, something dumb, young, and niave, something prone to fear, something just like Jon.
"It's been such a long time since I've seen a child, since I heard 'em laugh. Used to do it aalll the time down at the circus. You ever been to the circus Jon Jon?" It asked. The nickname brought a smile to Jon's lips, reminding him of when he'd occasionally call his big bro Tom Tom since it usually irked him a little. It was as if the clown was able to peer inside him and pull it out from the back of his mind, but that thought was silly, wasn't it?
Jon enthusiastically nodded "Yeah! Me and Tommy went to it last year!". "Ohohoho how fun, what did you do at the circus?" "We rode rides and played games and ate food an-" "What kind of food did you eat, Johnny? What kind of food?" It interuppted him, a tiny bit of drool dribbling down it's lip. Jon instantly jumped into listing off all he could recall snacking on that day, "Fried doughboys, lemonade, corndogs, cotton candy-" "And Popcorn?" It interjected, raising it's eye brows. "Mhm!" Jon nodded, and now he was salivating too, having not eaten anything in a few hours as not to spoil his supper.
It smiled and clapped it's gloved hands together excitedly "Oh wonderful! Just wonderful! That's my all time favorite!" "Mine too!" Jon cheerfully replied. "Well, well, well, would you look at us, two peas in a pod! It's always nice to make new friends, ain't it? Do you have a lot of friends Johnny? I bet you do.". "Yeah! Three, but my big brudder is my bestest!" he said. "Aw that's nice, and where is your "big brudder" right now?". "At home, sick, he's really sad..." he frown and mumbled, growing a little sad, but It still kept on smiling. "ohhh I bet I could cheer him up, cheering up kids was my specialty back at the circus... tell me, can you smell the circus Jon?".
Jon blinked, a little confused at the question "What?". "The circus, we're all down here. There's tons of games and rides, animals and treats, take a whiff." he said, his voice growing suddenly alluring, as if beckoning him to come below. Hesitantly, Jon did as the clown requested, and to his surprise, he was absolutely right. The sewer smell was slowly shrinking away now, and in it's place was the strong smell of sizzling deep fryers, powedered sugar, smoke from a clown's cannon, and midway sawdust. "Oh-oh my goodness..." he muttered, his confusion at the miraculous new smells bringing It great joy.
"Would you like to join us down here Johnny? Would ya? You can even bring your "brudder" if you want. We have everything you could ever want and more, it's like one big party, we even have-" "Balloons?" Jon innocently asked. "Yes, yes! Balloons! balloons of all sorts! Colors and shapes galore, all waiting for you and your "brudder"!". "Do they float?" he questioned, knowing very well that not all balloons were created equal. "Ohhh yes Jon, they float, they aaalll flooaat." It replied, taking an almost disturbing amount of pleasure in his response, his cheerful voice even faltering a little bit as he could hardly contain himself much longer.
Jon found the offer quite tempting, and clown's presence almost hypnotic, but his more cautious side still had a grip on him. "I don't know mummy's gonna wonder where I went, I better go home. Maybe some other time.". It shook it's head and shrugged, perfectly understanding of Jon's hesitation. "Ah well, Ta-Ta then dear Johnny, but before you go, you mind takin this?" The creature suddenly lifted it's arms, revealing a small paper boat in their hands.
"My boat!" Jon exclaimed, clappong his hands and smiling. "You better take it, or else Tom's gonna kill you, 'member?" Bing said, and suddenly, all the stranger danger knowledge his parents had engrained in Jon seemed to disappear. He slowly outstretched his arm to grab the boat, his sweet childish mind forgetting why he had ever been so concerned about trusting such a friendly clown. This clown was helping him, he was making him laugh, surely, nothing bad could come from someone like that, right?
But something bad would come from it, and Jon would not survive this encounter or ever make it back home. Bing squinted at his trembling hand, still salivating as his hunger reached it's breaking point. "We all float down here, Jon..." it giggled, it's voice slolwy growing more distorted the closer his hand got, but Jon did take it away, he didn't even bat an eye. "and when you're down with me..." it giggled again as Jon's finger tips grazed the end of the boat, solidifying the fact he was now past the point of no return.
"You'll float too!" Suddenly, Bing snatched Jon's arm then whipped his head back as his mouth fell open, far beyond anything a human was capable of doing. Sharp, razor-like teeth sprouted from it's gaping maw, as what was once a friendly and amicable face turned into Jon's absolute worst nightmare. Something much worse than anything he had previously imagined living down in the cellar, something even worse than anything Tom or his parents could conjure up. The creature leaned it's head back farther as more teeth grew and the layers of it's skin peeled back to make way for them.
He lunged for the arm, "biting" down on it like how a leech attaches itself and sucks onto your leg. He jerked back, over and over again while poor Jon, who had been so trusting of this creature only a moment prior, screamed in horrible writhing agony from the hook like teeth digging into his flesh. He clenched his eyes shut as terrified and painful tears welled in his eyes, only to be lost in the cavalcade of rushing rain water that was splashing against his face and causing his screams to sound gargled.
The creature jerked back once more, it's sharp and jagged teeth pulling on the six year olds arm in such a way it ripped off all together, with a horrible fleshy tearing noise that sounded like squashing ground beef and bits of bone together. Then, just as soon as it had started it's feast, the creature slinked back at the speed of light away from the boy, leaving Jon to die alone of shock just a few seconds after the rip and break.
The screams had stopped now, and more importantly, the clown-or whatever that was- was gone now. Jon Denbrough sat there for a full 30 minutes after wards, slumped over by the sewer drain, eyes blood shot and stuck wide open in horror as the rain pattered on and trickled down his cold dead face. The unlucky bastard to find his corpse was Officer Larry Gardener, just now arriving home from a incredibly tumultuous shift off work at the local Derry police station. He got out of his police car, fully intent on going home and drinking 'til he fell asleep, but the sight of the light blue rain coat out of the corner of his eye caught his attention, and he just had to investigate.
He initially approched Jon under the belief he had slipped and fallen, or perhaps passed out from dehydration or cold, but had to stop and scream in horror when he flipped him over and realized the severity of the situation. Jon's right arm was entirely gone now, currently being devoured by whatever awful thing he had been talking to was. There was just a stump now, a bloody, badly torn stump with a blindingly white bit of broken bone sticking out. Pieces of shredded rain coat slid off the massive wound, barreling down into the stream of rain water, the very same stream which carried the boat that had guided him to his demise thirty minutes ago. They went down the sewer drain, along with a steady stream of blood that had also been swept away by the water.
Officer Larry was terrified, but not as terrified as he probably should have been given the circumstance, but unfortunately, Jon was not an outlier. He'd been exposed to many child murders as of late, and the manner of which all these children would be found was all too similar to the bloody six year old in his arms. He had to have been the fourth child he'd seen in this state since fall had started, bloody, bruised, missing limbs, and seemingly bitten by some ravenous large animal.
The police had been around to every animal expert they could find, and no animal on record matched the teeth and scratch marks left by the killer, not even a shark with legs and arms could do such a thing. And that wasn't even getting into the countless missing persons going around, which were getting do numerous the names were starting to blend together, and yet, bizzarely, nobody really cared.
The parents cared, and the police were actuallt trying to do their jobs for once, but nobody in town really batted an eye to it. Once over the inital shock of it, they'd always just move along until the next child died for them to gawk at. And gawk they did, as a crowd begun to form around Larry as he coddled the poor boy and stood up with him laying in his arms. He paid them no mind though and pushed through the crowd to the Denbrough residence. He was utterly determined to get him back home, but was dreading the inevitable reaction from his horrified family. It had to be him though, if it wasn't him then surely some one else would have to do it, and Larry wouldn't wish such a tough job on anybody. He'd sooner hit his own mother with a car than let anyone else hand this child's corpse to his grieving parents.
When he rung the door bell his mother's piano playing came to a janky stop, the loud clacking of her heels hinting at her aggitation with yet another interruption. When she opened the door and witnessed what had happened to her son though, her agitated demeanor shifted entirely, and Sharon Denbrough, former mother of two, completely snapped. She screamed and screamed until her vocal cords were totally fried, and when her husband came running in to check on her, he starting screaming too.
Tom had been napping when Larry showed up, jumping up and out of bed when he heard ths sudden commotion coming from his parents. He hadn't heard his mother or father cry like that since the day he got hit by that car, and that could only mean one thing. "Something was wrong with Jon." His panicked mind thought "Something really really wrong.".
He tried to lie and reassure himself it must have been something else, maybe a broken family heirloom or, heck, maybe even a comet crashing through the house, but as he raced down stairs and their screams became clearer, the unfortunate truth became much more undeniable. Officer Larry was standing off to the side in their living room, stoicly looking out the window as he couldn't bare to leave but did not wish to look at the grieving couple.
His mother and father were both sobbing, pressed against each other with Jon inbetween them. Blood and muddy water were all over their clothes now, staining his mother's polkadot blue dress and his father's favorite Hawaiian shirt, but neither could care about that right now. Their baby was dead and everything else in the world was secondary, even their older, still living son standing beside them.
They held each other as they sobbed incoherently, shaking violently like they were both having trauma induced seizures. Tom couldn't bring himself to say anything, how could he? it was all too horrific and awful to process. Everything just felt like a slurry of awful emotions being spun in a washing machine, like being in a car in a car wash when the soaps splattered on. Neither of his parents looked at him or even noticed he came down stairs, which Tom was actually kind of thankful for. He wasn't so sure if he could handle eye contact right now, he could barely handle standing, in fact, he felt like he might faint.
He and Larry just exchanged knowing glares with each other as they watched Mr. And Mrs. Denbrough cry in pitiable dispair, horrified, sympathetic, but ultimately unsure of what to do. All Tom could manage was to stand by and watch along with a broken ad heavy heart while his parents clutched onto his little brothers corpse. The Denbrough family practically fell apart that day, and would cease to be a family from that day forward, but they were just another victim in a sea of innocent individuals completely ruined by IT.
By the time Jon was brought home the paper boat was still floating, and it continued to float on and on even after that. Bouncing, bobbing, waving happily off into a faraway place down in the sewer sytsem where it would stay and wouldn't emerge for another twenty seven years, waiting patiently for the fateful day when it's creator, Tom Denbrough, would finally come down and see it again.

It's face was unsurprisingly painted like all other clowns are, with a large nose, black lips, and gaudy paint around the eyes to accentuate it's expression. The face underneath all that paint looked decently young, but not quite so young he was around Tom's age. He looked to be no older than his father, and even had wrinkles underneath his eyes and smile lines on the corners of his mouth that signified a long and joyous life. The only part of him that was not entirely grey, black, or white, was the things hair, which was brown, a little unkempt, and somewhat curly. The silver eyed clown smiled wide, it's hungry eyes looking much softer and kinder now that Jon could see his smiling face.
"Aren't you gonna stop and say hello?" The thing asked. Jon looked around the street, a little worried some one might see him and wonder who he was talking to, but there wasn't a soul in sight. "I'm not 'sposed to talk to strangers, my daddy and brudder said so." he explained, showing a surprising amount of caution for a six year old. The creature smiled wider and nodded "ah, that's very wise of your daddy and "brudder", Jon, very wise indeed. I suppose it was rather silly of me to not introduce myself to you first, my mistake.".
The clown threw his hands up and wiggled his fingers "I am Bingbong, the dancing clown! But you..." he out stretched his hand for Jon to shake it, "Can call me Bing." he winked. Jon looked at the hand and hesitated before ultimately giving in and shaking it like they were old friends, never once stopping to wonder how this clown knew his name. "Jon meet Bing, Bing meet Jon, now we're not strangers anymore, kee-rect?" It said, and Jon giggled.
"I guess so, but what are you doing down in the sewer? Clowns don't usually lurk down there." He asked. Jon was born a little too late for clowns, his taste in child entertainment skewed towards the likes of Mr. Rogers and Jim Henson, but he'd seen them at carnivals before and was familiar with the general concept. "Storm blew me away! Blew the whole circus away! the elephants, the tents, the rides! Poof!" said It, waving his hands for emphasis.
If Jon was ten years older he would have naturally questioned such an excuse, but to such a young child the image of a clown being picked up by a tornado and gently shoved down a sewer drain was as valid an excuse as it was hilarious. "Oh my goodness!" He exclaimed, giggling. Then It quickly licked it's lips, too quickly for Jon to really notice, but he had licked them and it was quite unsettling. He was salivating over something, something dumb, young, and niave, something prone to fear, something just like Jon.
"It's been such a long time since I've seen a child, since I heard 'em laugh. Used to do it aalll the time down at the circus. You ever been to the circus Jon Jon?" It asked. The nickname brought a smile to Jon's lips, reminding him of when he'd occasionally call his big bro Tom Tom since it usually irked him a little. It was as if the clown was able to peer inside him and pull it out from the back of his mind, but that thought was silly, wasn't it?
Jon enthusiastically nodded "Yeah! Me and Tommy went to it last year!". "Ohohoho how fun, what did you do at the circus?" "We rode rides and played games and ate food an-" "What kind of food did you eat, Johnny? What kind of food?" It interuppted him, a tiny bit of drool dribbling down it's lip. Jon instantly jumped into listing off all he could recall snacking on that day, "Fried doughboys, lemonade, corndogs, cotton candy-" "And Popcorn?" It interjected, raising it's eye brows. "Mhm!" Jon nodded, and now he was salivating too, having not eaten anything in a few hours as not to spoil his supper.
It smiled and clapped it's gloved hands together excitedly "Oh wonderful! Just wonderful! That's my all time favorite!" "Mine too!" Jon cheerfully replied. "Well, well, well, would you look at us, two peas in a pod! It's always nice to make new friends, ain't it? Do you have a lot of friends Johnny? I bet you do.". "Yeah! Three, but my big brudder is my bestest!" he said. "Aw that's nice, and where is your "big brudder" right now?". "At home, sick, he's really sad..." he frown and mumbled, growing a little sad, but It still kept on smiling. "ohhh I bet I could cheer him up, cheering up kids was my specialty back at the circus... tell me, can you smell the circus Jon?".
Jon blinked, a little confused at the question "What?". "The circus, we're all down here. There's tons of games and rides, animals and treats, take a whiff." he said, his voice growing suddenly alluring, as if beckoning him to come below. Hesitantly, Jon did as the clown requested, and to his surprise, he was absolutely right. The sewer smell was slowly shrinking away now, and in it's place was the strong smell of sizzling deep fryers, powedered sugar, smoke from a clown's cannon, and midway sawdust. "Oh-oh my goodness..." he muttered, his confusion at the miraculous new smells bringing It great joy.
"Would you like to join us down here Johnny? Would ya? You can even bring your "brudder" if you want. We have everything you could ever want and more, it's like one big party, we even have-" "Balloons?" Jon innocently asked. "Yes, yes! Balloons! balloons of all sorts! Colors and shapes galore, all waiting for you and your "brudder"!". "Do they float?" he questioned, knowing very well that not all balloons were created equal. "Ohhh yes Jon, they float, they aaalll flooaat." It replied, taking an almost disturbing amount of pleasure in his response, his cheerful voice even faltering a little bit as he could hardly contain himself much longer.
Jon found the offer quite tempting, and clown's presence almost hypnotic, but his more cautious side still had a grip on him. "I don't know mummy's gonna wonder where I went, I better go home. Maybe some other time.". It shook it's head and shrugged, perfectly understanding of Jon's hesitation. "Ah well, Ta-Ta then dear Johnny, but before you go, you mind takin this?" The creature suddenly lifted it's arms, revealing a small paper boat in their hands.
"My boat!" Jon exclaimed, clappong his hands and smiling. "You better take it, or else Tom's gonna kill you, 'member?" Bing said, and suddenly, all the stranger danger knowledge his parents had engrained in Jon seemed to disappear. He slowly outstretched his arm to grab the boat, his sweet childish mind forgetting why he had ever been so concerned about trusting such a friendly clown. This clown was helping him, he was making him laugh, surely, nothing bad could come from someone like that, right?
But something bad would come from it, and Jon would not survive this encounter or ever make it back home. Bing squinted at his trembling hand, still salivating as his hunger reached it's breaking point. "We all float down here, Jon..." it giggled, it's voice slolwy growing more distorted the closer his hand got, but Jon did take it away, he didn't even bat an eye. "and when you're down with me..." it giggled again as Jon's finger tips grazed the end of the boat, solidifying the fact he was now past the point of no return.
"You'll float too!" Suddenly, Bing snatched Jon's arm then whipped his head back as his mouth fell open, far beyond anything a human was capable of doing. Sharp, razor-like teeth sprouted from it's gaping maw, as what was once a friendly and amicable face turned into Jon's absolute worst nightmare. Something much worse than anything he had previously imagined living down in the cellar, something even worse than anything Tom or his parents could conjure up. The creature leaned it's head back farther as more teeth grew and the layers of it's skin peeled back to make way for them.
He lunged for the arm, "biting" down on it like how a leech attaches itself and sucks onto your leg. He jerked back, over and over again while poor Jon, who had been so trusting of this creature only a moment prior, screamed in horrible writhing agony from the hook like teeth digging into his flesh. He clenched his eyes shut as terrified and painful tears welled in his eyes, only to be lost in the cavalcade of rushing rain water that was splashing against his face and causing his screams to sound gargled.
The creature jerked back once more, it's sharp and jagged teeth pulling on the six year olds arm in such a way it ripped off all together, with a horrible fleshy tearing noise that sounded like squashing ground beef and bits of bone together. Then, just as soon as it had started it's feast, the creature slinked back at the speed of light away from the boy, leaving Jon to die alone of shock just a few seconds after the rip and break.
The screams had stopped now, and more importantly, the clown-or whatever that was- was gone now. Jon Denbrough sat there for a full 30 minutes after wards, slumped over by the sewer drain, eyes blood shot and stuck wide open in horror as the rain pattered on and trickled down his cold dead face. The unlucky bastard to find his corpse was Officer Larry Gardener, just now arriving home from a incredibly tumultuous shift off work at the local Derry police station. He got out of his police car, fully intent on going home and drinking 'til he fell asleep, but the sight of the light blue rain coat out of the corner of his eye caught his attention, and he just had to investigate.
He initially approched Jon under the belief he had slipped and fallen, or perhaps passed out from dehydration or cold, but had to stop and scream in horror when he flipped him over and realized the severity of the situation. Jon's right arm was entirely gone now, currently being devoured by whatever awful thing he had been talking to was. There was just a stump now, a bloody, badly torn stump with a blindingly white bit of broken bone sticking out. Pieces of shredded rain coat slid off the massive wound, barreling down into the stream of rain water, the very same stream which carried the boat that had guided him to his demise thirty minutes ago. They went down the sewer drain, along with a steady stream of blood that had also been swept away by the water.
Officer Larry was terrified, but not as terrified as he probably should have been given the circumstance, but unfortunately, Jon was not an outlier. He'd been exposed to many child murders as of late, and the manner of which all these children would be found was all too similar to the bloody six year old in his arms. He had to have been the fourth child he'd seen in this state since fall had started, bloody, bruised, missing limbs, and seemingly bitten by some ravenous large animal.
The police had been around to every animal expert they could find, and no animal on record matched the teeth and scratch marks left by the killer, not even a shark with legs and arms could do such a thing. And that wasn't even getting into the countless missing persons going around, which were getting do numerous the names were starting to blend together, and yet, bizzarely, nobody really cared.
The parents cared, and the police were actuallt trying to do their jobs for once, but nobody in town really batted an eye to it. Once over the inital shock of it, they'd always just move along until the next child died for them to gawk at. And gawk they did, as a crowd begun to form around Larry as he coddled the poor boy and stood up with him laying in his arms. He paid them no mind though and pushed through the crowd to the Denbrough residence. He was utterly determined to get him back home, but was dreading the inevitable reaction from his horrified family. It had to be him though, if it wasn't him then surely some one else would have to do it, and Larry wouldn't wish such a tough job on anybody. He'd sooner hit his own mother with a car than let anyone else hand this child's corpse to his grieving parents.
When he rung the door bell his mother's piano playing came to a janky stop, the loud clacking of her heels hinting at her aggitation with yet another interruption. When she opened the door and witnessed what had happened to her son though, her agitated demeanor shifted entirely, and Sharon Denbrough, former mother of two, completely snapped. She screamed and screamed until her vocal cords were totally fried, and when her husband came running in to check on her, he starting screaming too.
Tom had been napping when Larry showed up, jumping up and out of bed when he heard ths sudden commotion coming from his parents. He hadn't heard his mother or father cry like that since the day he got hit by that car, and that could only mean one thing. "Something was wrong with Jon." His panicked mind thought "Something really really wrong.".
He tried to lie and reassure himself it must have been something else, maybe a broken family heirloom or, heck, maybe even a comet crashing through the house, but as he raced down stairs and their screams became clearer, the unfortunate truth became much more undeniable. Officer Larry was standing off to the side in their living room, stoicly looking out the window as he couldn't bare to leave but did not wish to look at the grieving couple.
His mother and father were both sobbing, pressed against each other with Jon inbetween them. Blood and muddy water were all over their clothes now, staining his mother's polkadot blue dress and his father's favorite Hawaiian shirt, but neither could care about that right now. Their baby was dead and everything else in the world was secondary, even their older, still living son standing beside them.
They held each other as they sobbed incoherently, shaking violently like they were both having trauma induced seizures. Tom couldn't bring himself to say anything, how could he? it was all too horrific and awful to process. Everything just felt like a slurry of awful emotions being spun in a washing machine, like being in a car in a car wash when the soaps splattered on. Neither of his parents looked at him or even noticed he came down stairs, which Tom was actually kind of thankful for. He wasn't so sure if he could handle eye contact right now, he could barely handle standing, in fact, he felt like he might faint.
He and Larry just exchanged knowing glares with each other as they watched Mr. And Mrs. Denbrough cry in pitiable dispair, horrified, sympathetic, but ultimately unsure of what to do. All Tom could manage was to stand by and watch along with a broken ad heavy heart while his parents clutched onto his little brothers corpse. The Denbrough family practically fell apart that day, and would cease to be a family from that day forward, but they were just another victim in a sea of innocent individuals completely ruined by IT.
By the time Jon was brought home the paper boat was still floating, and it continued to float on and on even after that. Bouncing, bobbing, waving happily off into a faraway place down in the sewer sytsem where it would stay and wouldn't emerge for another twenty seven years, waiting patiently for the fateful day when it's creator, Tom Denbrough, would finally come down and see it again.

Reviews🔗Draped Cowl Back Gownhttps://preview.redd.it/5mx36fpkdkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1b1d455e6040d7e1c333948fb4d28e5a7cf8e82 I recently had the pleasure of wearing the Betsy & Adam Women's Knit Drape Back Long Gown to a friend's wedding. As soon as I saw the stunning color and elegant drape on the back, I knew I had to have it. The fabric is stretchy yet firm enough to flatter my curves, making it incredibly comfortable throughout the evening. One feature I absolutely adore is the hidden back-zip closure. It adds a touch of sophistication and allows for a seamless look that's perfect for formal occasions. Additionally, the thigh-high slit adds a tasteful hint of sexiness without being too revealing. However, there are a few cons to this gown. Firstly, the material is delicate and requires dry cleaning only, which can be a hassle for some people. Secondly, due to its close-fitting design, it may not be as forgiving for those with figure flaws compared to looser-fitting dresses. Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase of the Betsy & Adam Women's Knit Drape Back Long Gown. Its exquisite design, flattering cut, and comfortable stretch fabric make it an ideal choice for any formal event. While the delicate care instructions and the lack of forgiveness in the design might deter some potential buyers, I would highly recommend this gown to anyone looking to make a stunning statement at their next event. 🔗Long Iridescent Strappy Back Dress for Womenhttps://preview.redd.it/urwb5u4ldkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efcc40ccddcb933d8d78a061359bd4a52d499613 As a fashion-forward reviewer who has had the pleasure of trying on the Morgan & Co Women's Long Iridescent Strappy Back Stretch Sequin W Square Neck Dress, I can attest to its striking elegance and meticulous design. The gown's scoop neck and sleeveless design exude sophistication, while the polyester and spandex blend ensure a comfortable, stretchy fit. One of the standout features of this dress is undoubtedly its eye-catching iridescence, which adds a touch of glamour to any event. The draped design, along with the ruched back and side detail, provide a unique and flattering silhouette that complements various body types. However, it's worth noting that some users, including myself, found the dress to run on the smaller side. It's essential to choose a size that allows for a comfortable and secure fit, especially when considering the side slit, which adds a playful and sultry touch. In conclusion, the Morgan & Co Women's Long Iridescent Strappy Back Stretch Sequin W Square Neck Dress is a stunning and versatile piece that deserves a spot in any fashionista's wardrobe. While it may run small, selecting the appropriate size will ensure a look that's both elegant and captivating. 🔗Sequined Mermaid Gown - Plumhttps://preview.redd.it/04v8f2gldkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6b605549842f7c43c2d28d8d580927b8aa23231 I recently attended a friend's wedding wearing this stunning Nightway Petite Size Sleeveless Sequin Gown in a bright plum color. The moment I saw it online, I knew it was perfect for me. The V-neckline and sleeveless design added a bold yet sophisticated touch, while the all-over sequin embellishment gave it a fun and glamorous flair. As soon as I tried it on, I felt like a million bucks. The waistline hugged me in all the right places, accentuating my curves without being too tight. The voluminous pleats flowed from my hips to the ground, creating a flattering mermaid silhouette. It was definitely one of those dresses that make you feel confident and elegant at the same time. One downside to this gown is the weight. It's a little heavier than I expected, especially under the arms where the sequins are, but I found that wearing a strapless bra helped alleviate some of the pressure. Additionally, the sequins can be scratchy on the skin, so it might not be ideal for those with sensitive skin. Another inconvenience is the length. Even though it's advertised as being appropriate for petite sizes, I still had to have the dress hemmed despite wearing tall heels. This may be an issue for others who are even shorter than I am. Despite these minor drawbacks, I absolutely love this dress and received numerous compliments throughout the evening. It's definitely worth investing in if you're looking for a show-stopping gown that won't break the bank. Just make sure to keep the sequins under control and you'll be sure to shine at any event! 🔗Perfect Stretch Formal Maxi Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/mq9gzc0mdkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6312cf4ad2ab070962d0c027d1336937031cb07b As a fashion enthusiast, I've had the pleasure of sporting the 24/7 Comfort Apparel Women's Formal Long Sleeve Maxi Dress on various occasions. This elegant piece features a tasteful V-neck, a cinched empire waist to flatter your figure, and a full, ankle-length skirt that adds a touch of charm. The comfortable stretch material, made of 95% Rayon and 5% Spandex, ensures I can dance the night away without any restriction. The bishop sleeves are a standout feature, providing a modest yet sophisticated look. The only downside I found is that the material is quite thin, so it may not be the best choice for extremely cold weather without a proper cover-up. One thing that's definitely worth mentioning is this dress's exceptional ability to resist wrinkles. Even after a long journey, it quickly regained its smooth, polished appearance when I hung it up in the bathroom during a hot shower. Overall, I highly recommend the 24/7 Comfort Apparel Women's Formal Long Sleeve Maxi Dress for anyone seeking a stylish, comfortable, and easy-to-maintain attire for formal or semi-formal events. The unique blend of high-quality materials ensures it's not just comfortable but also visually appealing, making it an excellent investment for your wardrobe. 🔗Stylish Illusion Neck Soutache Long Gownhttps://preview.redd.it/m1rlke7mdkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5b91279835363406026af1807a23e44bc9ad74a As a fashion enthusiast who's always on the lookout for elegant solutions, I recently got the chance to try out the Marina Cap Sleeve Illusion Neck Soutache Long Gown. It's a stunning navy number, perfect for any formal or special event. The moment I slipped it on, I could appreciate its craftsmanship. The illusion neck, adorned with delicate soutache embroidery, adds a touch of timeless charm. The gown itself is made from a silky blend of poly, rayon, and spandex, ensuring both comfort and durability.

Despite this minor inconvenience, overall, the Marina Cap Sleeve Illusion Neck Soutache Long Gown has been a standout addition to my wardrobe. Its elegant design and quality craftsmanship make it versatile enough to be used for more than one occasion. I’m already planning on wearing it to an upcoming event and can’t wait to see how it looks! 🔗Stylish Beaded Chiffon Gownhttps://preview.redd.it/zpmvx0pmdkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=907350bbaf534a389d13ed727db1b573f1760ef9 I recently had the pleasure of attending a friend's wedding, and I was on the hunt for a dress that was both elegant and comfortable. After a bit of searching, I came across the Xscape Beaded Short Sleeve Gown in Charcoal. This gown caught my eye with its gorgeous beaded lace bodice, and I knew it would make a perfect choice for the special occasion. Upon trying it on, I was thrilled with the way the dress fit. The cap sleeves and back zip closure provided a snug yet comfortable fit, while the chiffon skirt added a lovely touch of flowy elegance. The 100% polyester fabric was also light and breathable, making it ideal for warmer weather events. However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks to this gown. Firstly, I found that the dry clean only recommendation was a bit inconvenient, particularly given the beaded detailing that can be difficult to clean. Additionally, I noticed that the skirt was quite long and would require hemming for someone of my height. Overall, the Xscape Beaded Short Sleeve Gown in Charcoal is a beautifully designed and well-made dress that would be perfect for anyone looking to make a stylish statement at their next big event. While there are some minor inconveniences in terms of maintenance and alterations, the stunning appearance and comfortable fit more than make up for these shortcomings.

This elegant piece, apt for any special occasion, showcased a deep v-neckline that enhanced my facial features and made me feel every bit of the confident, sophisticated woman that I am. The gown's full-length skirt cascaded gracefully as I spun onto the dance floor, drawing the eyes of everyone present. The delicate, intricate lace design added a touch of romance to the ensemble, making it a timeless choice that left me and my partner feeling proud to be in each other's company. One downside was the size running smaller than expected - I had to exchange the first one I received in order to find a comfortable fit. Additionally, the fabric tends to have a glittery appearance that some might find too flashy. Despite these minor cons, my overall experience with the Marina 34 has been enjoyable and memorable, making it a top contender in my collection of formal gowns. 🔗Stylish One-Shoulder Velvet Gownhttps://preview.redd.it/bb92jcmndkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ff59cc8d375031f9ad1422e47c63897bd68b6a8 As a product review content writer, I have had the pleasure of trying out the Betsy & Adam Velvet One-Shoulder Gown in black, which truly elevates any outfit. The stretchy fabric and center back zipper make it incredibly easy to slip into, while the lining ensures a comfortable experience throughout the night. However, the length of the dress can be a bit of an issue, requiring some alterations to make it easier to walk in. The weight of the fabric also provides a sense of grandeur, perfect for formal events. Overall, this gown is definitely worth considering for those looking to turn heads at their next event. 🔗Long Metallic Knit Off-The-Shoulder Dress w/ Hip : 6https://preview.redd.it/dgiva5sndkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4cf109667bc8fcde6b83e82c6183707d7c0a8df I recently had the pleasure of attending a black-tie event and needed a dress that was both elegant and comfortable. I chose this stunning long metallic knit off-the-shoulder dress from Alex Evenings. It's made of a soft and stretchy fabric, which made it incredibly comfortable to wear all night long. The beaded detailing at the hip adds a touch of glamour, while the off-the-shoulder design and fold-over cuffs give it a sophisticated look. Bra cups are also included, which was a nice surprise. Unfortunately, hand washing the dress is necessary to maintain its quality, but I think it's worth the effort. In conclusion, this dress was the perfect choice for my event - it made me feel confident and elegant. The only con would be the additional care required due to its delicate fabric. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful piece. 🔗V-Neck Gown with Applique Bodice - Navy Gold - Size 12https://preview.redd.it/fpx5ij8odkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e28e0673ecf451fc40e77c8ccf46736530b96e9 As a reviewer who had the pleasure of wearing the Betsy & Adam Women's Embroidered V-Neck Gown, I can attest to its stunning visual appeal.

Despite these minor cons, this gown is a perfect choice for formal events, thanks to its eye-catching gold embroidery and timeless navy hue. 🔗Stylish Beaded Lace Gown for Special Occasionshttps://preview.redd.it/pbx8kqjodkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61c0d50664eea5e0ddaee0a425aafd8803803160 I recently had the pleasure of wearing the R&M Richards Women's Beaded Lace Gown to a friend's wedding, and I must say, I felt like a true silver screen star! The beaded stretch mesh fabrication along with the sheet matte chiffon draped cowl back added a touch of glamour that turned heads throughout the evening. The sheath silhouette and V-neckline allowed for a comfortable yet elegant fit, perfect for a mother of the bride or a wedding anniversary celebration. However, there were a couple of cons that I encountered. Due to its delicate nature, the dress can only be hand-washed, which may be a bit inconvenient for some. Additionally, the low V-cut bust line wasn't quite modest enough for my taste as a mother of the bride attending a church wedding, but that's a matter of personal preference. In conclusion, I highly recommend the R&M Richards Women's Beaded Lace Gown for those looking to make a lasting impression at their next formal event. Its stunning design and comfortable fit make it a must-have for any stylish woman's wardrobe. 🔗Lace Bodice Chiffon Long Dress in Eggplanthttps://preview.redd.it/mcj5t7wodkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71d102731b712dca4342c51ce716152b5e6985eb I recently attended a special event and decided to wear the Marina Lace Bodice Chiffon Long Dress in Eggplant.

Not only did this dress look amazing, but it also felt incredibly comfortable to wear. The 98% polyester and 2% spandex fabric hugged my body in all the right places, giving me a flattering silhouette. I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount of stretch in the material, which made it easy to move and dance without feeling restricted. One minor issue I encountered was that the sizing ran slightly large, so I would recommend ordering a size smaller if you're in between sizes. However, this small inconvenience was more than made up for by the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the dress. Overall, I am absolutely thrilled with my Marina Lace Bodice Chiffon Long Dress. It not only made me feel confident and beautiful during my event, but it also received countless compliments from other guests.

This gown's sweetheart neckline and sleeveless design are perfect for those looking to make a statement at any formal event. Made of polyester and spandex, the dress is not only comfortable but also allows easy movement. One thing that stood out to me was how the iridescent sequins reflected the light in such a dazzling way, making this gown truly unique. The sizing was spot on for my size 12, and it felt well-made and durable. However, the only downside was that it needed to be hand-washed, which can be a bit time-consuming.

The combination of its classic design and vibrant color makes it a versatile choice for various occasions. 🔗Stylish and Shimmery Petite Evening Gownhttps://preview.redd.it/qekab7kwckwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=132f4074837aba71a3b3315ac55d3ea9e2a3bca8 I recently attended a fabulous event and decided to wear Nightway's stunning Shimmer Gown. As soon as I put it on, I felt like a million bucks! The ombre shimmer effect made me shine like a star on the stage. The spaghetti straps are adjustable and the hidden zip closure added an extra touch of sophistication. However, there were some noticeable cons. Some users had issues with the dress being too tight up top, yet loose in the lower portion, giving it an unflattering appearance. Others, including myself, found the dress to be shorter than expected, especially in the back, exposing the underskirt and heel. It also tends to run small, so make sure to choose a size that will accommodate the extra tightness. Despite these minor setbacks, this Shimmer Gown is undoubtedly a stunner. It's crafted from a comfortable polyestespandex blend that hugs your curves in all the right places. The lined bodice provides modest coverage and offers a seamless, flattering look. Overall, I would recommend this dress for those seeking a show-stopping, yet affordable gown. Just be aware of the sizing and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the perfect fit. 🔗Stylish Xscape One-Shoulder Red Gownhttps://preview.redd.it/1t4p61xwckwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c30ceaae12ca821c84b7d3408d8aec72bce1963 From my own experience, this stunning one-shoulder gown from Xscape truly elevates your formal look, hugging your curves in all the right places. The ruffled neckline and asymmetrical neckline give it a fabulous touch, while the side and back ruching add some extra flair. I appreciated the center back zipper for convenience, but it did run a bit small for me. Petite sizes are recommended for anyone under 5'4". The material is a perfect blend of polyester and spandex, giving the gown a comfortable stretch and a nice weight. The fabric is easy to move and dance in, making this gown a perfect choice for any formal event. One downside is that the color may not be flattering for everyone, but the overall design and quality make it a must-have for any fashion-forward woman. In summary, I was thoroughly impressed with the elegance and comfort of this one-shoulder gown by Xscape. The high-quality material and perfect execution of its design make it a standout choice for any formal event. 🔗Ruffle Tiered Mesh Gown for Womenhttps://preview.redd.it/lpycxmaxckwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a4389ce5f3b20e4fd9189f425faedc9ba197154 As I slithered into this elegant gown, I felt like a sophisticated princess ready for a night out. The fit-to-flare silhouette hugged my curves in all the right places, while the satin belt added an extra touch of glamour.

The mesh fabric is not only breathable, but also allows for easy alterations, making it a perfect choice for those who want to customize their look. The flattering neckline and ruffled shoulders add an element of fun and playfulness, while still maintaining a sophisticated air. However, one downside is that the dress runs small.

Its elegant design and comfortable feel make it a must-have addition to your wardrobe. However, make sure to pay extra attention to the sizing and length to ensure the best fit. 🔗Strapless Glitter Tulle Ballgown for Juniorhttps://preview.redd.it/4ot3zqfzckwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a0f488e1f8db5851e701f4c6ba3a77f60513ad1 As a fashion enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of trying out Blondie Nites' stunning strapless glitter ball gown in a lovely sage color.

I opted for a stunning nightway sequin gown with flutter sleeves and godet insets, in a beautiful mauve color. The moment I put it on, I knew I made the right choice - the fabric felt luxurious, the design was elegant, and the color complemented my skin tone perfectly. The first thing I noticed about this gown was its sequin detailing. It's not just your regular sequins; they are large, lustrous, and add a glamorous touch to the whole outfit. The flutter sleeves gave it a feminine touch, while the godet insets at the hem added a unique twist. However, one issue I faced was with its weight. It's quite heavy due to all those sequins. It wasn't a major problem for me, though, as I wasn't planning on dancing all night long. But for someone who's more active at events, this might be a deal-breaker. Another concern was the tightness around the chest area. I'm not particularly well-endowed, so it wasn't too much of an issue for me. However, if you're larger-busted, you might want to consider sizing up or looking for a different style. Despite these minor drawbacks, I received numerous compliments throughout the night. The gown was not just comfortable but also made me feel confident and stylish. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a show-stopping piece for their next special event! 🔗Black Ombre Satin Ball Gown Dress (Size: 16)https://preview.redd.it/y5mbse70dkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49d57d898199f85b38aebaa0641c537744e93354 I recently had the pleasure of attending a formal event and decided to give the Slny Womens Satin Bow Ombre Formal Dress a try. This elegant gown with its eye-catching ombre skirt and concealed side pockets caught my eye, and I am happy to report that it did not disappoint. From the moment I slipped into the dress, I felt an instant boost of confidence. The soft satin fabric felt luxurious against my skin and moved fluidly as I walked. The adjustable satin bow tied at the back added a lovely touch of femininity, while the hidden side pockets proved incredibly convenient for stashing my essentials. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the dress’s ombre effect. The transition from deep black to a lighter shade of black added a touch of drama to the overall look. The gathered detail at the skirt also added a sense of fullness and movement, making it perfect for twirling on the dance floor. However, there were a few minor drawbacks. The dress did run a bit on the long side, so I had to add a little extra length to my heels. Additionally, the satin material may not be the most durable, as I noticed some minor wrinkling throughout the night. However, overall, I would highly recommend the Slny Womens Satin Bow Ombre Formal Dress. Its exquisite design, comfortable fit, and practical hidden pockets make it a worthwhile investment for anyone in search of a stunning evening gown. 🔗Long Shimmer Off-Shoulder Gown (Petite) - Black, Emeraldhttps://preview.redd.it/sw2j3pi0dkwc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8573b40484bddff9aaad31ea9c5fff9d6b479b96 As a product reviewer, when I put on the Nightway Long Shimmer Off The Shoulder Gown for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of confidence. The stunning metallic color, complimented by the classic sweetheart neckline and off-shoulder sleeves, made me feel like a glittering star at every event I attended. However, petite ladies need to keep in mind that some of the gowns might require alterations for the perfect length. One aspect of this gown that truly stood out was its ability to highlight my figure. The stunning shimmer combined with the elegantly flattering silhouette can make anyone feel like a million bucks. Despite its high-quality appeal, I noticed that this gown was comfortable and breathable, making it perfect for those long nights on the dancefloor. However, one issue I noticed with this gown was the sizing. It appeared that there may have been some variation between sizes, as some reviewers felt they needed to size up or down. So, potential buyers might want to consider trying on the gown before purchase or consulting with the retailer for sizing advice. Overall, the Nightway Long Shimmer Off The Shoulder Gown is a stunning choice for those seeking a combination of comfort, elegance, and the ability to shine at any event, but be mindful of the sizing. A beautiful shimmering gown with rave reviews from other users, this is a dress that shouldn't be missed.

Reviews🔗Black Sleeveless V-Neck Maxi Bridesmaid Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/vmjk6qbnb7wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db0c4e40c7702001fbb99c2afc9342a5bb77ad44 As a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding, I decided to give the Show Me Your Mumu Jenn Maxi Dress in Black Chiffon a try. I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant due to the numerous sizing reviews, but I'm glad I took the plunge. The moment I put it on, it felt like this dress was made for me. The fabric is incredibly soft and lightweight, making it perfect for those warm summer weddings. The highlight of this dress, in my opinion, is the V-neckline, both at the front and the back. It adds a touch of elegance and sophistication that makes it stand out from your typical bridesmaid dress. The full, flattering skirt also deserves a mention. It creates a stunning, feminine silhouette that is sure to catch everyone's eye. However, there are a few cons that I need to address. The first is the length. I'm quite tall and even I found it to be a bit too long. I ended up having to get it hemmed, which was quite a hassle. Another issue is the see-through nature of the fabric. Although the color is stunning, it does require a good quality slip to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions. All in all, the Show Me Your Mumu Jenn Maxi Dress is a beautiful, well-made dress that is perfect for any formal event. It's comfortable, stylish, and has a great fit. Just be prepared to make a few adjustments to the length and consider investing in a good quality slip. 🔗Black Off-The-Shoulder Maxi Bridesmaid Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/r96mlklnb7wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df79d87707fb91bf24bdca224f80b66674b5e2c8 I've been wearing this boohoo off-the-shoulder split maxi bridesmaid dress in black for my best friend's wedding, and it's been an absolute hit! The highlight of this dress, for me, is definitely its visual appeal. The off-the-shoulder design and the black color make it a classic yet elegant choice for any formal event. Another positive aspect of this dress is its comfort. The stretchy fabric allows me to dance and move around easily without fear of a wardrobe malfunction. Plus, the maxi length keeps me from worrying about my hemlines while I enjoy the night. However, there are a few cons to consider. The quality of the fabric might not be as premium as some would like, but at its price point, it's understandable. Additionally, some users have reported that the sizing can be small, so keep this in mind when making your purchase. In summary, if you're looking for a stylish and comfortable black bridesmaid dress to make a statement at your next event, this boohoo off-the-shoulder split maxi dress is definitely worth considering. Just be sure to account for any sizing issues and don't expect top-tier quality materials. 🔗Black Whisper Satin Halter Bridesmaid Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/ksnao91ob7wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef93d5442c464e3c124cb9e5c8ed32ec5c1a86dd I recently attended a friend's wedding, and I was on the lookout for a stylish yet comfortable dress to wear as a bridesmaid. I came across this Social Bridesmaids Women's High-Slit Ruffled-Hem Gown in a lovely black hue. It looked stunning on me, and its flattering halter bodice with a self-tie keyhole back was truly a showstopper. The asymmetric cascade ruffle hem full A-line skirt added a free-spirited touch to the overall appearance. Wearing this dress made me feel confident and chic throughout the event. I paired it with some strappy high heels, and the combination worked perfectly for a sophisticated bridesmaid look. The whisper satin fabric was comfortable to wear, and it didn't seem to crease easily, making it a low-maintenance choice. However, one drawback I experienced was the length of the skirt. It was quite long, and I had to wear very high heels to avoid any tripping hazards on the dance floor. If you're considering purchasing this dress, be sure to wear appropriate footwear or consider getting the hemline altered. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my choice, and I would highly recommend this dress to anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable bridesmaid dress. The unique ruffled hem and halter bodice design make it stand out from the typical bridesmaid gowns, and the whisper satin fabric ensures a comfortable and elegant look. 🔗Lulus Black Backless Mermaid Maxi Dress for Womenhttps://preview.redd.it/xzx000eob7wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a0b38fff74e6bdea6b30cee002254eed0894f42 I recently got the chance to try out the Lulus Black Backless Mermaid Maxi Dress for a special night out, and I have to say, it's an absolute stunner! . As soon as I slipped it on, I knew I was going to be the belle of the ball. The fitted waist and flattering mermaid skirt hugged my curves in all the right places, making me feel confident and stylish. However, it does run true to size, so make sure to keep that in mind when buying. If you have fuller hips, I suggest sizing up for a more comfortable fit. Overall, I'm so glad I opted for this gown, as it made me feel like royalty throughout the evening. 🔗Sustainable Eco-Satin Bridesmaid Dress Ida in Blackhttps://preview.redd.it/8r3qq8rob7wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02733fde7b866384e21a8cbf3651b8056e1cf469 I recently attended a close friend's wedding, and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to give "Grace Loves Lace's Ida Eco Black Bridesmaid Dress" a whirl. The first thing that struck me about this dress was its sustainable craftsmanship. With a majority of the material made from recycled eco-satin, I didn't feel guilty about adding another black dress to my wardrobe. The dress itself was incredibly easy to wear. Its bias cut design hugged my body in all the right places, giving me a timelessly elegant look. The low V-neckline paired with the lace paneling and satin lining on the bust provided just the right amount of coverage and style, making it perfect not only for weddings but also for any other formal occasion. The straps are also worth a mention. They're made of barely-there satin rouleaux, and though they don't seem like much, they provide a perfect, adjustable fit. Add to that the fact that this dress can perfectly suit any body shape, and you've got a winning outfit. However, despite its many strengths, I must admit that it felt a bit "standard" in terms of its black dress status. As I've come to learn, each woman should have her iconic little black dress that stands out from the rest. Unfortunately, the Ida Eco Black didn't quite hit that mark for me. In other words, while I appreciated its comfort, versatility, and eco-friendliness, I feel that in terms of uniqueness, it fell a bit short. Perhaps, if it had included some additional details or embellishments, it could have easily stood out as a go-to option in my wardrobe. All in all, "Grace Loves Lace's Ida Eco Black Bridesmaid Dress" is a solid choice if you're looking for an ethically-made, sustainable piece that's stylish yet simple. But for those of us who crave a little more character in our black dress, this might not be the one for you. Buyer's GuideBlack bridesmaid dresses have become a popular choice for many reasons.

Look for high-quality fabrics like satin, chiffon, or taffeta that will stand the test of time.Compatibility with AccessoriesConsider how the black bridesmaid dress will pair with accessories, such as jewelry, shoes, and clutches. Ideally, you should choose accessories that complement the dress rather than competing with it.

Reviews🔗Black Lace Cocktail Party Dress by Bardothttps://preview.redd.it/dk3pczg397wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18f88f851c48ae8fb50e5e27f7b0d825b76cf2fe I recently had the chance to slip into the Bardot Vezza Womens Lace Long Sleeves Cocktail and Party Dress, and boy, was it a treat! This little number has a highneck design and is made from a stretch cotton fabric that is both comfortable and chic. The hidden back zip and lined bodice give it an extra touch of refinement, while the 60% cotton/30% nylon/10% elastane fabrication ensures a snug yet flexible fit. What I particularly appreciated about this dress was how versatile it was. The unique combination of highneck and long sleeves makes it suitable for both day and night affairs, and the concealed zip ensures a seamless look. The blend of cotton, nylon, and elastane not only provides a soft feel against the skin but also adds a certain degree of stretch for a comfortable wear. On the flip side, the concealed zip could be more reliable. The hidden back zipper on my dress didn't seem to stay in its place and kept popping open at inopportune moments. Additionally, I found that the material, although it felt luxurious, wasn't as warm as it could be for those chilly evenings out. All in all, the Bardot Vezza Womens Lace Long Sleeves Cocktail and Party Dress might be a little short for some, but its versatile design and comfortable fit make it a worthy addition to any wardrobe. Whether you're heading to a wedding or a cocktail party, this dress is sure to be a hit! Just don't forget to check that zipper before you head out the door. 🔗Elegant Black Off the Shoulder Skater Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/f93jqlp397wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ec7fcd96cada765181f79e0ed4d37e8eff4013c I recently had the pleasure of donning the Sarin Mathews Women Off-the-Shoulder Short Sleeve High Low Cocktail Skater Dress in Black, and it was absolutely stunning! As soon as I slipped it on, I felt like an elegant princess ready to conquer the night. The material, a beautiful blend of cotton and polyamide, gives it a thick and luxurious feel. It was perfect for a cocktail party I attended, making me stand out in the crowd with its high low design and off-the-shoulder cut. What really impressed me was the level of craftsmanship. Every stitch felt secure and the dress held its shape beautifully throughout the evening. The straight collar and short sleeves added a touch of modesty without taking away from the overall allure of the dress. Plus, the vibrant black color was spot on, exactly as shown in the pictures. However, what stood out the most for me was the dress's ability to flatter my figure. The skater style and distinctive design highlighted my curves beautifully without being overly revealing. It truly made me feel confident and elegant - the perfect choice for formal occasions and parties. One thing to note was the fabric type. While the cotton and polyamide blend does provide a sense of comfort, it might not be the best choice for warmer months. I'd recommend this dress for spring, fall, and winter occasions. In conclusion, the Sarin Mathews Women Off-the-Shoulder Short Sleeve High Low Cocktail Skater Dress is a stylish, high-quality, and comfortable option for anyone looking to make a statement. Its elegant design and superior craftsmanship make it a must-have in any fashion-forward woman's wardrobe. 🔗Chic Evening Mesh Dress with Cold Shouldershttps://preview.redd.it/q6crqj4497wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=489ff6063f264f24e9fede4079bc787378b68218 I recently had the pleasure of attending a wedding in the stunning ALEX EVENINGS Long Mesh Cold Shoulder Dress. The first thing that stood out for me was how comfortable and breathable the fabric was. Even on a hot summer day, I felt confident and stylish throughout the event. The dress's unique design, featuring a cold-shoulder mesh overlay and a slimming bodice, made me feel elegant and sophisticated. The material is incredibly forgiving, concealing any imperfections without being too tight or constricting. One aspect I appreciated was its versatility. Whether worn with simple flats or strappy heels, this dress can effortlessly transition from day to night, making it an ideal choice for any formal event. However, one minor drawback was the need for alterations. As someone who stands at 5'4", I found the length to be longer than I would have preferred. Additionally, the straps could have been adjusted to better accommodate my upper body. Overall, I am thrilled with my ALEX EVENINGS Long Mesh Cold Shoulder Dress. Its stylish design, comfortable fabric, and versatile nature make it a must-have for any fashionable woman seeking the perfect wedding guest attire or elegant evening wear. 🔗Black Ruched Ruffle Column Gownhttps://preview.redd.it/4ngjafi497wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb62799c4c8317a3a5a7d0fcc2a0eef22baac3a3 I recently had the pleasure of wearing the Betsy & Adam Ruched Ruffle Column Gown in Black to a friend's wedding. This gown is a stunning display of craftsmanship, with its single ruffle that flows gracefully from the fitted waist to the flirtatious slit. The combination of the ruching and thicker fabric ensures that every captivating curve is beautifully set off. The dress perfectly catered to my 5'6" frame, fitting me like a dream. However, be aware that it does show some cleavage and may skim the ground without a 4-inch heel. Despite these minor details, the gown's overall appearance and feel made it worth every penny. This isn't just a dress, but an experience that I would gladly repeat for any formal event. On the flip side, the gown was a tad too matronly for my taste, with the ruching and extra fabric in front giving the impression of a more sophisticated and mature look. Additionally, the material felt slightly heavy and could be rather long even for my height. For those looking for a youthful party dress appearance, this might not be the perfect choice. However, these drawbacks were easily overlooked by the gown's undeniable charm and flattering shape. Overall, the Betsy & Adam Ruched Ruffle Column Gown in Black is a perfect choice for anyone seeking a dress that will surely make heads turn. 🔗Stylish Off-the-Shoulder Slit Gown - Size 4https://preview.redd.it/f0ym9u6e97wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cb6e2a53ccdd47744a69b6450f1d9abe5a0f2ec I recently wore the Xscape Women's Off The Shoulder Slit Gown to a friend's wedding, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The black color is elegant and versatile, making it perfect for any formal event. I was initially concerned about the size since I fall between sizes, but I followed the advice of the reviewers and sized up, and it fit perfectly. The fabric, a stretch scuba crepe, is comfortable and stretchy, allowing me to dance the night away without any issues. I also appreciated the subtle side slit and ruffle detail that added a touch of glamour to the dress. However, one downside I encountered was the difficulty in moving my arms while wearing the dress. The tightness in the armpits made it challenging to eat, drink, or adjust the dress throughout the evening. Additionally, the center back zipper was a little stiff and took some effort to close. Overall, I would highly recommend the Xscape Women's Off The Shoulder Slit Gown for its stunning design, flattering fit, and comfortable fabric. Just keep in mind that you may need to size up and prepare to work with the tight armholes. 🔗Long Black Chiffon Dress with Ruffle Shoulder and Empire Waisthttps://preview.redd.it/d2yns12597wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0c4aa7bc3a79ddb0d0a2d70a1a9d6faf2f69c6e I couldn't have been more blown away when I first set my eyes on this beautiful Mac Duggal gown! The chiffon fabric cascades down in a ruffled waterfall, while a ruffled accent at the top right shoulder gives it an extra touch of glam. With a length of approximately 61L from shoulder to hem and 62L down the center back, this gown is all about making a grand entrance. One of the features that stood out to me was the V-neckline, which adds a touch of elegance and classic charm to this stunning piece. The dress is sleeveless, with an empire waist that hugs your curves in all the right places. The open back design is perfect for showing off some skin without going too far, while the A-line silhouette provides an understated elegance that's perfect for any formal event. I also loved how the floor-length gown hugged my body without feeling too tight or constricting. It's like wearing a cloud of chiffon that gently floats around you as you walk. The back zipper makes it easy to get in and out of the dress, which is always a plus when you're getting ready for a special event. And did I mention how incredibly comfortable it is? However, one minor drawback I encountered was the sizing. It seems that the dress tends to run a bit small, so be sure to size up if you're unsure about your fit. Another thing to keep in mind is that this gown is not designed for short women, as the length might end up being too long and make you feel like a kid playing dress-up. Overall, I can't recommend this Mac Duggal gown enough. It's a stunning piece of art that's sure to make heads turn wherever you go. So go ahead and treat yourself to this beautiful ball gown - you deserve it! 🔗Lacey Rhinestone Black Bridesmaid Dress with Open Backhttps://preview.redd.it/14g720o597wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a41aebf61463bd7e9af27637e20dc47c1da31d95 I recently got the chance to try out this Ever-Pretty Black Maxi Lace Chiffon Evening Party Gown as I was looking for something elegant and stylish for a close friend's wedding. Right out of the box, I was thrilled with the beautiful lace design and rhinestone embellishments. The padded option is a great feature that made me feel confident about not needing to wear a bra. The open back and ruched bust design are perfect for showing off some skin, while still maintaining a sophisticated look. What I loved most about this dress was how versatile it is. Whether you're attending a bridal shower, a wedding, or simply dressing up to celebrate a milestone, this dress seamlessly transitions from one occasion to the next. The black color can be dressed up or down, making it a great addition to any wardrobe. On the downside, the length of the dress means that I will most likely need to have it hemmed. Additionally, while the lace detailing is beautiful, it can be slightly see-through in certain areas. A matching slip would be a wise investment to ensure full coverage and a polished appearance. Overall, I am really impressed with the quality and design of this Ever-Pretty Rinestone Maxi Lace Chiffon Evening Party Gown. It's comfortable, flattering, and perfect for virtually any formal occasion. Highly recommended! 🔗One-Shoulder A-Line Gown - Black - Size 8https://preview.redd.it/nitmnbz597wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1ffdc47be47a4c00de96ff1b277cca27bc61c50 I recently attended a black-tie event and decided to try the Betsy & Adam One-Shoulder A-Line Gown in black. Right away, I was drawn to its mermaid silhouette and v-neckline - it's a stunning dress that's sure to turn heads. The stretch scuba crepe fabric is comfortable and flattering, making it perfect for formal occasions. I was also impressed by the hidden zipper closure at the back and the fully lined interior, which added an extra touch of elegance. One minor downside was the length; I needed to have it hemmed slightly to achieve the perfect fit. Overall, I would recommend this gown to anyone looking for a standout evening dress that's both attractive and well-made. 🔗Black Crepe Cape Sleeve Sheath Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/ya3c9of697wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=275faef10895830cc67b63b9c02c6f1796ac28da I recently wore the Betsy & Adam Crepe Sheath Dress to a friend's wedding, and it made me feel like a million bucks! This stunning black dress features cape sleeves that give it a dramatic and elegant touch. The fabric is stretchy, which made it incredibly comfortable to wear all night long. The hidden back-zip closure ensures a snug fit, while the asymmetrically draped crepe adds an extra layer of chic to the overall look. It's lined and made from a mix of 94% polyester and 6% spandex, giving it just enough stretch to hug my curves in all the right places. However, one issue I encountered was that the dress is quite heavy, especially during warmer months. Additionally, the armholes are a bit tight, making it difficult to get in and out of the dress without assistance. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Betsy & Adam Crepe Sheath Dress is undoubtedly a showstopper. Its unique design, high-quality fabric, and comfortable fit make it perfect for any formal event or cocktail party. Just keep in mind that you might need help getting dressed, and maybe save it for cooler temperatures or indoor events. 🔗A-Line Black Satin Gown with Pocketshttps://preview.redd.it/sp1dcro697wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3bd7e2b1f00eb5b44fb90efcc2cdab90677a18e As a fashion enthusiast who has tried the Alfred Sung D826 Quick Delivery - Sleeveless Square-Neck Princess Line Gown with Pockets in Black, I must admit that my experience was quite mixed. The gown certainly delivers on its promise of glamour, with a stunning black satin fabric and a sophisticated square neckline. The hidden pockets in the A-line skirt were surprisingly functional, offering a practical touch without sacrificing style. However, where this gown fell short was on the sizing front. Many reviewers reported issues with its fit, noting that it was either too big or too small across different body types. Despite its attractive design, the sizing issues led to a number of negative experiences, resulting in an overall rating of 1.9.

In this buyer's guide, we'll cover important features, considerations, and general advice about purchasing a black dress for a wedding.Understanding the EventUnderstanding the context of the wedding plays a critical role when choosing a dress. Factors such as the time of day, venue location, and dress code can guide your decision. An evening or cocktail wedding may require a more formal dress, while a daytime event could be more casual.Appropriate Styleshttps://preview.redd.it/iegjeb9997wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d808939862712cebe62039dcb380432ffaedcce0 Different styles of black dresses can cater to the specific aesthetics of a wedding.

Cultural and Dress Code ConsiderationsIt's important to be mindful of the religious or cultural expectations surrounding the wedding. Some occasions may require modest or conservative attire, while others might require cocktail-style attire. This is particularly important when considering buying a black dress, as it is often associated with more formal or elegant events. As a rule of thumb, always ensure your dress adheres to the dress code laid out by the wedding invitations or hosts. Also, consider the host's feelings about black attire, as some Asian and Middle Eastern cultures view black as a color of mourning and may not feel it is suitable for a wedding.Length and HemlineA black dress worn to a wedding can range from floor-length gowns to cocktail-length dresses and above-the-knee skirts, depending on the occasion. Shorter hemlines are more suitable for daytime or less formal weddings. However, longer hemlines are typically more appropriate for evening or formal weddings.

Make sure the dress allows you to move freely and comfortably throughout the night, especially if there are activities or dancing.AccessorizingThe right accessories can really enhance a black dress. Depending on the level of formality of the event, consider a clutch, statement jewelry, and a pair of elegant shoes. However, always ensure your accessories don't overpower the dress or overwhelm your overall look. The black dress should remain the focal point, with your accessories subtly complementing the outfit.Wear and CareFinally, consider the fabric maintenance and cleaning instructions.

As a 16, I followed the advice to order a size up, but the 18 and 20 were both swallowed up on me. It was disappointing, and I ended up returning it. The dress stood out to me for its beautiful satin twill material and elegant one-shoulder design with a draped pick-up detail. It's a stunning piece that I would have loved to wear. Despite the sizing issues, it received positive reviews from others, who praised its lightweight structure, flattering fit, and useful pockets. However, some drawbacks should be considered, such as the need for alterations or being difficult to tailor, as well as the stiffness and lower quality of the fabric.

This dress is an absolute showstopper, with its floor-length design and dazzling sequins that catch the light in all the right ways. First and foremost, the color options are incredible. I opted for black, but there are other hues available that would complement any skin tone and outfit choice. The mermaid silhouette adds a touch of modern glamour to the traditional evening gown look. One aspect of this gown that truly stood out was its comfort. While it's figure-hugging, the fabric has just enough stretch to allow for easy movement and dancing throughout the night.

The neckline is also quite flattering, with a cross-over design that adds some subtle detailing without being too revealing. In terms of sizing, I found this gown to run true to size, so ordering your usual size should suffice. The only downside I encountered was the length - at 5'6", I needed to have a few inches taken off to achieve the desired hemline. However, this may vary depending on individual height and preferences. Overall, the Eliza J Women's Sequined Crossover Neck Gown is a stunning choice for anyone looking to make a statement at their next formal event. Its luxurious fabric, captivating sequins, and elegant silhouette are sure to garner compliments and admiring glances all night long. 🔗Amsale High Cowl Neck Satin Gown - Black, Size 0https://preview.redd.it/j1v2dkys77wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=391cd76831c0d305a00bad5c7cec3bb6fb91a3b4 As a reviewer who has had the pleasure of wearing this elegant Amsale high cowl neck satin gown in black, I can attest that it's truly a showstopper.

With a measured length of approximately 61.5" from shoulder to hem, this gown pairs perfectly with a small heel, making it the ideal choice for formal events. Though I have no complaints about this stunning gown, I must mention a minor inconvenience that some may encounter. Due to its satin finish, the fabric has a tendency to cling slightly to the body. However, this can be easily managed with proper undergarments and a gentle touch when putting it on. Overall, the Amsale high cowl neck satin gown in black is a must-have addition to any formal wardrobe. 🔗Spaghetti Strap Black Ruched Sheath Gownhttps://preview.redd.it/2j1r288t77wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf8df614c2bdff861178d167c6d56ba8213143c7 I recently had the pleasure of attending a very special event and, of course, I needed the perfect dress.

It's a perfect choice for those special events where you want to shine and make a lasting impression. However, one issue I encountered was the snags in the outer layer of the dress.

I felt so confident in it that I received compliments from everyone at the ceremony! What I appreciated even more about this dress was how comfortable it was. Although it's lined with some netting, it's still light and breathable. Plus, the lacey neckline decorated with rhinestones truly adds that extra touch of classy glamour.

Plus, the skirt is full-length, making it ideal for occasions where you want to look extra sophisticated. I found the closure at the back quite user-friendly, and the skirt is stretchy, making it easy to move around.

Its quality and design are top-notch, and it's amazing how much style you get at such an affordable price. So, if you're looking for a dazzling, full-length formal dress that is both elegant and affordable, the BCX women's junior's embellished formal evening dress should definitely be on your radar. 🔗Stylish Modern Formal Gown with Embellished Waisthttps://preview.redd.it/fsablyyz77wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06a2214923b1e57bd84d416ed7e75c5862ebbc7b I recently had the pleasure of attending a glamorous event, and I knew I wanted to make a statement with my outfit.

Not to mention, the fabric is super comfortable and easy to care for - I just throw it in the washing machine on cold and hang it up to dry! One drawback though, is that the sizing can be a bit tricky. I usually wear a size 22, but this dress runs smaller than what I'm used to from City Chic. So I ended up having to exchange it for a size up, which was a bit of a hassle. But hey, at least the quality of the dress is top-notch! Overall, I would highly recommend this Ornate Dress to anyone looking for a stunning plus-sized formal outfit that's both comfortable and chic. 🔗Sparkling Black Glitter Tulle Evening Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/7n0nleic67wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=600009692491a7bc5eac1bf98e238b5607d41de5 As a fashion-forward reviewer, I've recently had the pleasure of sporting this stylish City Studio Women's Plus Tulle Glitter Evening Dress in black for a formal event. The first thing that grabbed my attention was its stunning combination of shimmery glitter and layered tulle, which added the perfect amount of drama to my look. It's not just an LBD, as one reviewer pointed out; it's a statement piece that commands attention without being over the top. The dress's mid chest neckline and relaxed A-line design are a refreshing change from more constricting evening gowns, providing both comfort and visual appeal. The polyester fabric feels light and airy, perfect for long nights of dancing and mingling. One minor drawback might be the short sleeves, as they provide little warmth during colder events. However, even those with colder climates can pair it with a chic jacket or shawl without detracting from the overall glamour of the outfit. All in all, the City Studio Women's Plus Tulle Glitter Evening Dress has quickly become my go-to option for formal occasions. Its clever balance of comfort and style allows me to effortlessly exude confidence and effortless elegance. 🔗Long Lace Sleeve Maxi Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/xqcvei6d67wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49657e8676cbce3c0d28d4604e02c617c231251a When I first saw the City Chic's Women's Plus Size Rare Beauty Maxi Dress, I was instantly drawn to its elegant design and bold black color. As a plus size fashion enthusiast who loves trying on new styles, I couldn't resist giving this dress a try. The moment I slipped into it, I knew I was in love. The lace bodice hugged me comfortably without feeling constricted, while the ponte panels on the side bodice provided a flexible fit that seamlessly followed my curves. The long lace sleeves added an extra touch of class, making me feel like a true princess at any formal event. One feature that really stood out was the invisible back zip closure. It ensured that the dress maintained its sleek appearance without any unsightly visible zippers. Additionally, the tulle maxi skirt flowed gracefully around me as I moved, adding a soft and romantic touch to the overall look. However, there were some minor drawbacks to this dress. Firstly, the quality of the material was a bit disappointing for its retail price. Some reviewers mentioned that the skirt felt like cheap netting, which could be a potential concern for long-lasting wear. Secondly, some users found the bust area too big, indicating that the sizing might not be perfect for everyone. Nevertheless, the majority of reviews praised the dress's craftsmanship, attractiveness, and comfort, making it a favorite pick for many plus size women. Overall, if you're looking for a stylish and elegant black formal dress that hugs your curves beautifully, the City Chic's Women's Plus Size Rare Beauty Maxi Dress is definitely worth considering. 🔗Women's Plus Size A-Line Evening Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/wwla6vdd67wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=228876af81d9c320a87c3c867a0a946d29aab01b I recently wore Ever-Pretty Womens Plus Size A-Line Long Evening Mother of The Bride Dress for a friend's wedding. This elegant black dress was a hit! The round neckline adds a touch of sophistication, and the flutter sleeves make it perfect for a warm evening. However, it does run a bit long, so I had to get it altered. Despite this minor inconvenience, I was really impressed with the overall quality of the dress. The embroidery is stunning, and the fabric feels luxurious against your skin. The concealed zipper up the back ensures that the dress stays in place throughout the night. This dress is not stretchy nor padded in the bust area, which I personally prefer as it gives a more natural look. I loved how fully lined it is, as it added an extra layer of comfort and opacity. Although I received some positive feedback from others and even got compliments on how I looked, there were a few cons to consider. The length was a bit too long for my taste, and I felt like I had to be extra careful not to trip or step on it. Additionally, the sizing can be a bit tricky, so I would recommend ordering a size up or consulting their size chart. In conclusion, this Ever-Pretty dress is a beautiful choice for any formal occasion. The attention to detail and the use of high-quality fabrics make it a worthwhile investment. Just be sure to pay attention to the sizing and consider getting it altered if necessary. Overall, I had a great experience wearing this dress, and I've already recommended it to friends who are looking for a stylish and elegant option for their next event. Buyer's GuideWhen it comes to shopping for black formal dresses in plus sizes, there are several important factors to consider. The right dress can create a stunning and polished look, while the wrong one can leave you feeling uncomfortable and self-conscious. This buyer's guide will help you navigate through the world of black formal dresses, providing you with essential features to look for and tips to make your shopping experience more successful.Consider the FitChoosing a dress that flatters your body shape and size is crucial. Before you start shopping, take note of your measurements, including your waist, hips, and height. This will help you find a dress that fits properly and accentuates your best features. Remember to check sizing charts for each brand you consider, as sizes can vary widely between retailers. https://preview.redd.it/usnunzyd67wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cacea36b1bda5dfc91acf65dd112cbc6dacf37ed Select Your SilhouetteA-line and trumpet silhouettes are universally flattering, drawing the eye away from problem areas and emphasizing the waistline. Shape-enhancing materials like spandex or stretch jersey can also help create a smooth and polished look. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, opt for a wrap dress or one with an empire waist, which skims over the tummy and highlights your upper body.Choose the Right Neckline and HemlineThe neckline and hemline of your dress should complement your body shape and size. For example, a V-neckline can elongate the neck and draw attention to the face while minimizing the appearance of a large bust. Similarly, a mid-length hemline can balance out a petite or curvy figure, while a floor-length dress is perfect for a tall, slender frame. Consider your personal preferences and body type when choosing the right neckline and hemline for your black formal dress.Invest in Quality MaterialsA well-made black formal dress should be made from high-quality materials that drape beautifully and maintain their shape throughout the night. Look for fabrics like satin, taffeta, chiffon, or lace in high-end black formal dresses plus size. These materials will not only look luxurious, but they will also feel comfortable and wear well over time. https://preview.redd.it/dov2znge67wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa070b07514a55d345874de78e35b18c0491881a Accessorize WiselyAccessorizing your black formal dress is crucial to completing your look and showcasing your personal style. A pair of striking earrings or a bold clutch can elevate your outfit, drawing attention to your face and adding a touch of glamour to your ensemble. Remember to keep your accessories subtle and sophisticated, so as not to overwhelm your overall look. When in doubt, choose timeless pieces like pearl earrings or a classic red lip to emphasize your femininity and confidence.Having a basic understanding of the important features and considerations when buying a black formal dress plus size will make your shopping experience smoother and more successful.

The material is super soft and comfortable, making it perfect for all day events. The off the shoulder look is both trendy and sophisticated, while the high low hem adds an touch of uniqueness. I must say, though, that the waist area could have been a bit tighter to provide better support. Overall, this dress was a great choice for our special event and definitely helped my daughter stand out from the crowd. 🔗Black Off-the-Shoulder Bodycon Dress for Homecominghttps://preview.redd.it/blp58gc447wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=754312213caf25484a5f91a3dede06e7fb31ef00 As I stepped into the graduation hall, all eyes were on me in my Lulus Classic Glam Black Off-The-Shoulder Bodycon Dress. This bodycon dress, made from a spandex-blended fabric, offered incredible stretchability, ensuring that I could comfortably move around and dance the night away. The knee-length design was perfect for a casual party vibe, while the off-the-shoulder neckline added a flirty touch. The hidden no-slip strips ensured that my shoulders were always in place, making me feel confident and stylish at the same time. Despite some cons, like the slightly loose shoulder for some users, the majority of people who reviewed this dress praised its comfort, craftsmanship, and ease of putting on and taking off. The reviews also highlighted the visual appeal of the dress, emphasizing that it's a perfect choice for those looking to make a statement at their next event. The dress is made from a medium-weight stretch-woven fabric, which creates an overlapping off-the-shoulder neckline, short sleeves, and a princess-seamed bodice. This combination ensures that the dress hugs your body in all the right places, accentuating your curves and showcasing your confidence. In conclusion, the Lulus Classic Glam Black Off-The-Shoulder Bodycon Dress is a stunning choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and eye-catching dress to wear at casual parties or events.

The sleeveless design, sweetheart neckline, and adjustable straps allow for flexibility in styling. The back zip closure ensures a secure fit, while the trumpet hem adds a touch of playful flair. The lace all-over fabric brings a certain femininity to the look, while the polyester material holds its shape well. I have to admit, this dress has become a staple in my wardrobe. I love the way it highlights my curves without being too revealing, and the lace overlay adds a touch of elegance to any occasion. It's comfortable to wear for hours on end, and the adjustable straps allow me to find the perfect fit. One minor con is that the material can be finicky when it comes to washing. Hand washing is a must to keep the lace fabric in tip-top shape, but I've found that it's worth the extra care for this beautiful dress. In summary, the Guess Flounce-Hem Lace Dress is a must-have for any woman looking to add a touch of elegance to her wardrobe. Its comfortable fit, feminine design, and customizable straps make it a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down for any event. 🔗Black A-line Mini Dress - Homecoming Dresseshttps://preview.redd.it/d36cso3547wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=362dadb2e4d036ad0b3f513ac6c4e924a069222d I recently had the chance to try out the Claire A Line Mini Dress in black, and I must say, it's quickly become one of my go-to outfits. The moment I slipped it on, I could feel its charm working its magic. The high-collar neckline adds an air of sophistication, while the low-cut finish in the back gives off a sultry vibe. Coupled together, they make for a perfect balance of confidence and elegance. The satin-like fabric feels incredibly luxurious against my skin, giving me the comfort I crave without sacrificing style. And speaking of style, this dress earns high marks for its A line silhouette that hugs my curves in all the right places. It's undeniably short, but that only adds to its youthful charm. Still, there are some parts where the Claire A Line Mini Dress could improve. For instance, unlike some other dresses I've tried from MESHKI, this one doesn't seem to have as much stretch. I usually wear a size M and found that the length was just right, but if you're taller or prefer a more fitted look, you might want to consider sizing up. Another small issue I encountered was with the buttons along the back. They're cute and add a touch of detail, but they don't seem to be covered by the same fabric as the rest of the dress. This means that when I sit down, they press against my skin and can be a bit uncomfortable. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Claire A Line Mini Dress has definitely earned a spot in my wardrobe. Its stunning design and comfortable fabric make it easy to dress up or down for any occasion. Plus, the attention to detail - like the ruched neck band and unique silhouette - really sets it apart from other mini dresses on the market. If you're looking for a versatile and stylish piece to add to your closet, this dress is definitely worth considering. 🔗Bold Black Homecoming Dress with Embroidered Roseshttps://preview.redd.it/djew37e547wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=891fbaba834384ecdadeba0ea9fb8d250c7e09bb I can't tell you how thrilled I am about my BROOKS Rose Mini Dress. Not only does it feature an eye-catching pattern of roses along the neckline, but it's also incredibly comfortable thanks to its crepe fabrication and full lining. Plus, I love how the invisible zipper adds a polished touch to the overall look. What really impresses me, though, is the attention to detail in this dress. The roses are fully attached, making them stand out beautifully without being too over-the-top. And the fact that they come in a variety of colors ensures that there's a dress for every woman's taste. However, one small issue I encountered was with the sizing chart, which seemed slightly off for me. But fortunately, with a little alteration, I was able to get the perfect fit. All in all, if you're looking for a stunning homecoming dress or a showstopper for your next special event, the BROOKS Rose Mini Dress is definitely worth considering. It's chic, comfortable, and, most importantly, a head-turner in any setting. 🔗Party Perfect Lulus Black Bodycon Dresshttps://preview.redd.it/i9dduwt547wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b99f7c8fe0569d549a259f75889da6821aacba2 I recently purchased the Lulus Perfect Mesh Black Bodycon Dress for a friend's birthday party, and I must say it was an instant hit! The hidden side zipper made getting into it hassle-free, while its seamless finish added a touch of elegance. The dress's ribbed pattern gave it a glamorous appearance that complemented my high heels and clutch perfectly. The stretchy knit fabric ensured a comfortable fit, but I wish the quality of the self-fabric and lining were better. The washing instructions could also be more user-friendly. Overall, this bodycon dress turned heads at the party, but be prepared to handle it with care due to the subpar zipper and fabric quality. 🔗Black Crepe Fit and Flare Homecoming Dress - Size 14Whttps://preview.redd.it/r54sri8647wc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fe42a81d4ec786b08ca92f6b3ac7dae6a40e6a2 The Mac Duggal Versatile V-Neck Fit & Flare Homecoming Dress is stunning! As a plus-size gal, I was excited to try this dress out, and it did not disappoint. The crepe fabric is incredibly comfortable and breathable, making it perfect for dance-filled events. The fully lined body and concealed back zipper give it a polished look, while the adjustable waistband ensures a perfect fit. However, I did have a couple of minor issues with the dress. Firstly, the hemline is quite long, which could be a problem for shorter ladies like me. Secondly, the V-neckline and V-back might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you're more conservative. Overall, I would highly recommend this dress to anyone looking for a chic and comfortable homecoming gown. Despite its length and revealing back, the quality and style of this dress make it a winner in my book! Buyer's GuideChoosing the perfect black homecoming dress can be both exciting and overwhelming.
