So I'm on my way to a wedding. Looking forward to all of it.

But I got a new dress for it and it requires a strapless bra and I couldn't find my normal bustier I wear in such occasions and to make a long story short, I'm strapped into a corset so tight I can barely freaking BREATHE!! I don't know how women of the past wore these every single day, I'm actually worried about getting through the next 10 hours.

But the good news is, I look effing HOT! My waist looks, well, not tiny, but the smallest it's every been. My boobs are practically shoved up to my neck. But all to fabulous effect.

What's the most uncomfortable thing you've done in the name of fashion?

I'd do you for nothing.

Shoes, I love em but some weren't made for dancing for 5+ hours

errrrr hellooooo this thread means nothing without pictures

Shoes...they're my weakness. I love them. Most of them unfortunately are not comfortable. They're made for making your feet look pretty. NOT for providing comfort.

My wedding dress weighed a ton and had a ridiculously long train. Just getting into it required the help of several people. I was always making sure that whenever I turned I didn't injure someone with the swooshing of the train.

It had a million little buttons all down the back and it was tight. So, that was a day that I really suffered to look pretty.

And now look. I'm getting a divorce.

All that beautification for nothing.

If I get married again it will be simplistic all the way....

Probably shoes, I'm really into heels lately despite the fact that I don't wear them enough to truly get used to walking in them I have a pair of KILLER leather stiletto boots that hurt like hell (only 4") but I absolutely refuse to give them up.

Brazilian waxes aren't cozy, but that's not really fashion fashion. More like body fashion

I am trying to work up the courage for this...

Yeah, let's see pics Carrie! I'm sure you do look great!

Get one, there's nothing like being soft & smooth for weeks

CalhounSq said:

OK, how many weeks are we talking? And, does it hurt less the more you do it? Do you have to do it less often as time goes by?

i dont think i could handle the pain, I can barely deal with getting my eyebrows done

I'm currently wearing a mullet because my stylist thinks it's makes me look more fashionably Euro-centric chic.

You are confusing Euro-centric chic with hick

thread of the year

Shoes/boots. Some of them hurt like hell but they look amazing so I'll never give them up. I don't wear anything lower than a 3 1/2" heel - except for kicking around shoes. Most of my shoes/boots are 4" high.

It's got to be shoes the higher the heel the better.

High heels have probably caused me the most pain but I don't wear them on the regular. Once I also made a strapless bra out of packing tape because I didn't have one that went with the outfit I was wearing at the time.

Once, around the age of 16, was forced to wear a pink shirt with white pants and a white bowtie -- all for a junior ushers anniversary function. Those junior ushers' senior advisers were ruthless, man... Couldn't be satisfied with basic usher black. Those old ladies had to get "an anniversary uniform."

Just like just about everyone on this thread, I'm going to go with high heels. I like looking a bit taller since I'm so petite . Yeah, they can hurt, but I don't care

That wasn't of your own volition so I don't think that counts.

I don't think that most men (Prince excluded) do very uncomfortable things for fashion. In fact it seems like designers know that the only way a man will even consider looking good is if his outfit is comfortable.

Although I did know this one guy who used to wear those nylon socks that make your fet smell because he thought they looked good. I was like, "But they make your feet smell!" and he said, "Yeah, but they look real good with my shoes"

Most of my pain isn't fashion related, it's a sacrifice to the theatre gods.

I just finished a run of A Christmas Carol in which I wore a very tight corset, a heavy petticoat, a full wig, and a fully lined wool dress for 11 performances in two weeks - all while dancing and singing.

It was hell...and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

1. Sportin' Waves (probably the stuff that made me go bald...)
2. Shaving. I hate it, can barely skip a day.



Um, that's it.

i'm not seen in public in anything less than a 6inch heel.

i've done entire parades in 9inch ones.

ehuffnsd said:

OUCH!

MoniGram said:

actully it's not that bad. men have a higher center of gravity than women so it's easier for us to walk in heels.

ehuffnsd said:

Really? I did not know that.

JasmineFire said:

That had to have hurt terribly coming off! I'm cringing as I'm typing this...

SHOES! Definitely shoes...
I wear heels just about every day, and go to the podiatrist once a month!
I'm so bad I wear the big, ugly flat shoes into his office, then change in the car after my appt.!

chocolate1 said:

that is bad

hokie1 said:

Depends on how fast or slow your hair grows really, I think the standard is 3-6 weeks unless the waxer is bad & the hair doesn't pull from the root. I pretty much go once a month

& no, it never gets easier We're talking vagina lips, that shit hurts But it's so brief & so worth it I haven't been doing it long enough to see a longer time period between waxes, I've only done it steadily for about 4 months now
