Not a bad idea for a challenge. Might try a hand at that since a maternity dress has to be so different from my preferred silhouette with a defined waist, making it something that helps get me out of my comfort zone.
DESIGN CHALLENGE:
We go to a gala themed Christmas party every year. I will be about 20 weeks pregnant this year. One year when I was pregnant I wore an off the shoulder long sleeve red velvet dress.
If you were to design a maternity Christmas gala gown, what would it look like?

Only like half the comments on my posts even show up in notifications despite me not having the quality filter on. This is just one of the small things that makes this site less interactive.
I’ve found that I may follow and like someone big, but if I comment a few times and they don’t interact, I stop commenting.
Not that I’m big, but I try not to do that here. I like the interaction.
Those people irritate me, tbh. Idk why.

Not really? Demand would almost surely create more availability since fabric isn’t something that’s an actual limited resource in any way, and people would be more likely to open fabric stores or grow their already existing small fabric stores if there was money to be made, there. What you need is fabric store competition if you want prices to go down, not one big chain like Joann. Plus Michael’s is integrating Joann’s fabric stock into their stores, anyways.
But either way you can only keep stores like that around if there is a demand for fabric in the first place, a demand for fabric means more fabric sales which means that you don’t need to charge as much to make a profit because you are selling more of it. Though if there’s no competition, then there’s no incentive to lower prices if they are still getting sales. But if there is competition then it gives stores a reason to sell fabric at lower prices.
I don’t want to bring back Joann as much as I want to bring back the more fun local fabric shops. Denver Fabrics was my go-to until it closed. Joann Fabrics was convenient but a sort of… last resort.
Prices and availability can only improve if someone funds the re-creation of Joann's or something equivalent

I really hope this game actually prompts some more people to start actually sewing. And not just because more people sewing = better fabric availability and prices.
The new dressmaker game has instilled me with the false confidence that I could go out into the world and make a dress from scratch

Just had a fascinating idea for a gown design and I don’t know of anything like it that exists. They’re probably something I just do know of it, but I should probably write down the idea so I don’t forget it.

I like the idea of this dressmaking game because it’s a fun way for people to experiment with making their own designs and thinking through what actually works. Much nicer alternative to people generating nonsensical dress designs with AI.

I know I said I was going to ignore him but this tweet is so goofy. Is he trying to hate on their looks? Because this says nothing about the character of his detractors.

Instead of monitoring and supervising your wife’s social media and social interactions to make sure sure’s not sharing or absorbing bad ideas, what if you just discussed views and ideas and thoughts with your wife like a normal husband to stay on the same page?
