Announcement Change in subreddit policy

70 Upvotes

So this is basically what we discussed the other day, but the change is going to be largely what I anticipated.

Going forward, we won't be allowing text only posts for questions that really require a photo to answer. If the question really doesn't need a photo - like, say, a theoretical question on how kibbe works - then text based posts are still allowed. There are some general fashion type questions not specific to an individual that can also be reasonably discussed in text only posts.

My hope in setting up the flairs was that it would encourage people to include the necessary photos in the posts so that help can be offered. It has unfortunately just resulted in asking the same questions under inappropriate flairs.

Body visualizer images do not count as photos of you. They are not specifically prohibited but should not be thought of as a replacement for actual photos of you, and do not satisfy the requirements for photos in photo only flairs.

This will be largely a matter of mod discretion. Posts that are really fashion advice or style me posts that are posted under the general discussion flair will be removed now as flaired incorrectly. Posts without photos (or only with visualizer photos) posted under photo only flairs will be removed as not meeting flair requirements.

Existing posts are not affected. This is effective starting now.

I invite you all to take another look at the flair guide. See the pinned post on flairs.

Significant Rule Change - Feedback Requested

33 Upvotes

Hi r/dressforyourbody!

I've been thinking about this a lot but want to get some feedback from the subreddit about it before making the change.

I'm trying to figure out how to balance the need for photos to give good advice with people's desire for privacy, which I do understand and appreciate.

When I redid all the post flairs, I required photos for some flairs but left a few open for text only discussion. Unfortunately, this has had the effect of people simply asking the same questions - which really require photos - under the "general discussion" flair.

I'm leaning in the direction of removing posts lacking photos that are really not answerable without photos.

We definitely do not count body visualizers as photos. For one, they don't accurately represent bodies. Additionally, they don't show how clothing looks on you. We need to see that generally to be able to answer some questions.

I feel like a lot of the things asked are rather a waste of time now without photos.

I do plan to leave open the option for text only posts when that's appropriate. There are times when you don't need a photo to ask a question. However, "style me" type posts and many "fashion advice" type posts really can't be answered well without photos.

I'm curious though what the subreddit thinks and what direction you think we should go with this. No final decisions have been made - the feedback received here will be considered before rules are finalized.

Fashion Advice Why does one of these dresses look much better than the other?

Thumbnail

99 Upvotes

I've always had more of a thin rectangular body type and avoided dresses like the second one because I felt like skirts that flared out a little around the hips looked better. But I feel like the second dress looks much better on me than the first one. I ended up buying them both because I love the colour of the first one (it also looked better without a bra), but why does that one look unflattering and what makes the second one better?

IRTG.

I need a wardrobe overhaul to help with my confidence, so would like to know my Kibbe if you could help! Ive attached 3 photos for Kibbe analysis (because I forgot about my hair in the first two!), and some pics of clothes I find flattering and unflattering.

All taken with no bra on if that makes a difference. Been to the "a bra that fits" page and gotten bras from their recommended stuff and they're amazing! But none are no show or no strap or anything like that. But, I digress.

Please help me if you can!!

I know it’s less likely for my height, but the automatic vertical types all don’t feel quite right to me. I think there’s too much contrast in my body (angle-wise), and the only other real consideration I think would be DC. I hear online I look a little taller, and IRL that I actually look a little shorter/smaller, so I figure it’s probably something a little more moderate.

I also think that styles that are a little more boyish can flatter me well, though I have very specific taste in that regard and I prefer to keep things either natural and neutral or rather delicate, even if it isn’t my most flattering. I hate shapeless stuff (esp dresses) unless it is very light/thin and has thin straps instead of sleeves

Including the only shorts I’ve worn in like 3 years and some body scan thing that I thought might be useful for silhouette stuff lol

Okay, I’m overthinking this 😂 My sister’s 3rd wedding anniversary is this Wednesday and we’re doing a small family dinner at a place we know near the beach. Nothing fancy or super formal, but I still don’t wanna show up either way too dressed up or looking like I just came from the beach lol. I really like this dress though…

I’m well-aware that the upper corset is already overwhelming. Hence, I’d like to have accessories that is subtle, but would still complement with the gown.

Need an advice as to what specific accessories should be worn for this gown.

I have to meet with a group of people that are a bit more old fashioned on clothing. Would this work? I don’t want a smock, but something at least a tiny bit flattering, while not showing too much skin. Do you think being sleeveless is too much?

So I had an epiphany today and realized I dress the same as I did in middle school. I never became a “girly girl” until recently and I really want to start dressing cuter. I see girls on pinterest and wish I could dress like them but I’m just not even sure where to start.

Like for example, this outfit I wore today is just so bland I feel like but I’m not sure how I’d fix it. Any advice is appreciated!!

Wedding Attire Advice Wedding guest dresses for today. Help 😅

Hi guys, I have two wedding to attend. One is today in Brooklyn NY, and next week in Italy.

Help me choose the one for today. I don’t mind repeating the dress for Italy, because it’s different groups of people 😁

Dress code from their website :

NY: WHAT'S THE DRESS CODE?

Cocktail. That typically means a suit and tie or a short-midi length dress, but please feel free to skip the tie or go with a long dress if you prefer! And if you like dressing creatively, we'd love for you to lean into that - have fun with your outfit. :)

Italy WHAT'S THE DRESS CODE?

We invite you to embrace the spirit of la dolce vita for our Sicilian semi-formal wedding- effortless Italian glamour inspired by the bright colors of Sicily.

For ladies, channel your inner Sophia Loren with flowing silhouettes and vibrant colors inspired by the Sicilian landscape. Whether you're feeling floor-length gowns or chic tea length dresses, choose what makes you feel most fabulous. There will be moments on grass, so consider avoiding stilettos. It may be cold in the evening, so keep an eye on the weather. Inspiration here: https://pin.it/3fAmvAZcD

I've owned this top/vest for years but haven't managed to make it work, it's a shame because it feels nice and I quite like it.

Vest/top info: 100% polyamide, from New Yorker, knitted.

Other info: I have a boxy figure and 80A cup. Mostly looking to wear it on the street or to school.

Sorry, the lighting is bad and also ignore the white spots please.
