great way or just more trauma I'm a new lady with fat thighs and a big ass, And it is very difficult to find clothes I like. My sort, Such since it is, may androgynous-to be able to-butch. I may possibly perhaps dresses or skirts would flatter my body more, But they're not me. I find looking clothes horribly stressful Lunar Hyperdunk 2012. fairly for me to spend hours and find nothing that fits. accordingly, I have only a couple of clothes that I love lebron 10. Could an individual shopper help me improve my wardrobe, And would it be worth turning to the shoppers at Macy's? I'm thinking Macy's merely because have personal shoppers that will work with you for free. I am scared simple fact that shopper will be appalled by my non-snazzy body and my rejection of skirts and dresses. Or would they be willing to promote me to find things I like? if he doesn't Macy's, Then places? If not a personal shopper, Then the things? Posted by summer sock to gift buying (15 solution total) 9 users marked this as a favourite I used a Macy's personalized shopper once (In new york), To find me something very very specific (A black suit in a certain size that I can get with both pants and a skirt), And the personal shopper managed to find a few options for me and one of them was perfect. I would use a personal shopper again if I had specific things I wanted pulled for me. i'm not sure if it would be worth the time to give them total freedom to pick stuff; as you, I have specific things I like and don't like and wouldn't want to waste time dealing with a persons taste unless I knew in advance we were on the same page (The woman I caused did a great job but I wouldn't have wanted her doing more than pulling specific items). So maybe try them out for an item or two and see if you meet a shopper you click with. processed by ThePinkSuperhero at 7:24 PM on would 2 [1 favorite] I did something similar at Nordstrom's and I am way way outside the 'fashionable' look, And the gal who helped me was great; no-Judgemental, Listened to what I had to say about what I liked to wear and not, And helped me pick out some great things within my budget. All for free. A super positive end up with. And I HATE searching clothes, i would personally say give it a shot, And if you do not hit it off with one helper, Say bye and try another store another day. Nordstrom's help has always been good with me, From footware thus to their bra-installers. placed by The otter lady at 7:35 PM on probably 2 [2 favorites] You may want to look through the Macy's and any other shops beforehand, Just to make sure there are things you might want to wear. Obviously they'll be great for finding things you wouldn't have thought about, But you do are looking for options! i haven't used a personal shopper myself, But my mother had one at Nordstrom's for years and they would phone her when they saw something she would like or when a shoe came in for her slightly unusual size. I've had really enjoy getting kind service from their bra department for my less-in contrast-sophisticated size, So I hope it brings over. I believe Nordstrom's stylists also work without one more fee, So if there are other malls you like, will need to see what options there are beyond Macy's. i can't believe a professional would ever be so cruel as to judge you for your perfectly-Normal title of body, And that would absolutely be grounds to talk to a supervisor. I think sometimes there's a way to mention your preferences and tastes in a consultation beforehand, So that they have a sense of what to look for and what to avoid (This is why I mentioned searching the store or website beforehand, Just to try your best to have options you're excited about.) if you don't, Maybe google around to see if there are any personal shoppers who consult alone in your area? This would probably require more vetting and a fee, But you'd be less restricted to a single store, that might save you aggravation, money, And hassle finally. issued by jetlagaddict at 7:36 PM on will probably 2 an individual shopper couldn't hurt. It's a good opportunity to try on things you wouldn't normally choose and get feedback. Remember that you possibly can get clothes tailored--Waist ingested, Pants and skirts hemmed AdiZero Rose 3.5, along with.--For not too much. So if something mostly fits and appeals to you it, The tailor can get you the rest of the way there. Just of which it's much easier to take things in than let them out, So err assisting too big. listed by elizeh at 7:37 PM on probably will 2 [2 favorites] I've never caused a shopper at Macy's, But I've found the non-public shoppers at Nordstrom to be great. They will also help you for free, And if you bring in stuff you love/think looks good on you, They'll support you in finding things that good with it, and thus. created by dotgirl at 7:37 PM on possibly will 2 Nordstrom's personal shoppers are wonderful. I doubt that your body shape and/or fashion requests are going to be something they haven't seen before, And their definitive goal is to sell clothes, So they'll go out of their way to accommodate you. If little else, It's a great pampering see for free. listed by xingcat at 7:47 PM on can certainly 2 I've also done the Nordstrom's personal shopper and I thought the whole event was fantastic. written by magnetsphere at 8:13 PM on could quite possibly 2 I think a personal shopper is an excellent idea, And while I'm sure the Macy's personal shoppers outstanding, My first deliberation was Nordstrom's, nicely. I don't know if higher end department stores are within your budget, But some place like Bloomingdale's or Saks generally excellent personal shoppers as well. identify image consultants that aren't tied to a specific store, But you must have to pay them for their time. My Mom has worked with a couple and usually they know their stuff and can know the difference between between personal taste and what works well. Try the free of charge services first, And if you realize your experience lacking consider hiring someone. all the best,enjoy! posted by katemcd at 8:16 PM on may 2 i've had a session with a personal shopper at Nordstrom, and he or she was great. still,but unfortunately, I discover that the plus-Size personal preference in-Store at Macys is way better (Assuming you're talking plus size) more than Nordstroms, So I bet a Macys personal shopper may even more options to suggest. Posted by Lulu's Pink talk at 8:20 PM on might 2 [2 favorites] have you ever tried stores devoted to urban/hip hop fashion? On my figure, My waist/torso is relatively small and my butt, Hips and thighs are remarkably big. I find most pants in general audience mall stores in the US are cut for "companies" - usually bigger in the waist/torso with relatively small/flat butts and narrower thighs. having said that I find that almost all womens' pants in hip hop shops fit me really well because the ideal there is a body closer to mine. |
