Complications: I have boobs, a job, and I don't like flowers.
Has in-person shopping always been this bad? I just spent two hours shopping and rejecting every dress I saw in real life and am now willing to consider online shopping. I'm looking for a dress to wear to work, but "work dresses" look like cosplay to me, with their brass buttons and pointy collars.

Here's a dress I'm considering, to give a point of reference: amera. This one isn't skin tight, nice fish design, no ruffles or flowers, slightly weird that they couldn't find a person to put it on for a pic but otherwise this is pretty good. Not 100% sure it accommodates boobs. It does look like it would hide bra straps which puts it in the 95th percentile of dresses I've evaluated today.

I am even willing to forego pockets.]]> https://ask.metafilter.com/389493/Dresses-Complications-I-have-boobs-a-job-and-I-dont-like-flowers tag:ask.metafilter.com,2026:site.389493 Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:15:54 GMT Vatnesine fishdress Summerdresses https://ask.metafilter.com/389493/Dresses-Complications-I-have-boobs-a-job-and-I-dont-like-flowers/rss Where did TLLD? https://ask.metafilter.com/389492/Where-did-TLLD tag:ask.metafilter.com,2026:site.389492 Sun, 19 Apr 2026 20:45:43 GMT pmaxwell books Genesis music https://ask.metafilter.com/389492/Where-did-TLLD/rss I can't get into my old hotmail/outlook and it's driving me crazy
Also, M suggests I make a new account to check if it is still there -- and it is but "someone else is using that name." So they haven't deleted it. A while back, according to my password manager, my FB was hacked and this was the account I used to sign in, I changed the FB but maybe I never changed the hotmail? (I've since used another name/email to log into FB)

So it doesn't exist, but it has not been deleted.

Thanks if you you got this far. I really am less tech savvy than most people you know. (If I ever get it back I am just going to delete it--after forwarding a few things)]]> https://ask.metafilter.com/389491/I-cant-get-into-my-old-hotmail-outlook-and-its-driving-me-crazy tag:ask.metafilter.com,2026:site.389491 Sun, 19 Apr 2026 19:50:04 GMT intrepid_simpleton computers Microsoft https://ask.metafilter.com/389491/I-cant-get-into-my-old-hotmail-outlook-and-its-driving-me-crazy/rss Noise from extended weekend of pruning behind my house https://ask.metafilter.com/389490/Noise-from-extended-weekend-of-pruning-behind-my-house tag:ask.metafilter.com,2026:site.389490 Sun, 19 Apr 2026 15:42:58 GMT caviar2d2 etiquette Noise resolved https://ask.metafilter.com/389490/Noise-from-extended-weekend-of-pruning-behind-my-house/rss
