First off, I apologize for taking so long to respond. I typed this response out last week, but the site was down for maintenance. I saved this and forgot about it.

She doesn't wear heels out much, so I think that any that ended up in the shower/tub/whatever will most likely never be worn outside our apartment again. That means it doesn't matter if they start looking worse for wear, until they start falling apart, or they lose my interest. I found a pair on clearance for $2 today, so I'm hoping they'll last a while. Nothing fancy, but something for her to try out.

She rarely goes to any fancy parties, and nothing formal, so I'm thinking that any dresses I buy her will pretty much only be for "private use." So, again, it won't matter if they do fade or otherwise lose their wearability. But considering my financial situation, I hope they last a long time!

Thanks a lot for the advice and info!

As a side note, I really like your site. I'm generally a fan of the more spontaneous, candid wetlook, but your photography, models, and most of the clothing styles put your site as one of my favorites.

Most clothes and heels will survive being soaked. Just make sure to dry them out really well. During a year of producing, we go thru dozens of heels and most have been used several times. Of all the heels that got wet, only one pair fell apart 'right out of the box' but it was an exception rather than a rule. Funny but material doesn't seem to matter. We've had leather heels and 'man made materials' heels both hold up. Sometimes they need a bit of glue after a few times getting wet, but we do replace them after they look worse for wear.

You can usually find heels for little money by shopping at second hand stores, on eBay, or flea markets, and yard sales.

Most clothes also hold up well. We have had business suits which were marked 'dry clean only' used during a pool set. Just dry them and they are good the next time out. Few clothes are made with dyes that run, if they did, the wearer would have a problem if they began to sweat. The worse thing to happen is that clothes can begin to fade after numerous dunkings.

As for jewelry, Many are made with pot metal. Some will rust and some will discolor, unless you find plastic or non-metallic jewelry, which could still fall apart or break.

Looking for advice

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I'll ask anyways.

I've been visiting this forum for a long time, but I don't think I've ever posted before. Until recently, this wetlook stuff has just been a fantasy for me, just something I looked at online and hoped to someday find a woman who likes it as much as me. My girlfriend, although not a fan of wetlook, enjoys the effect it has on me when she wears clothes into the shower for me. She's a casual girl, mostly wears jeans, nice tops, and athletic shoes and while I really like that look, wet or dry, I'm very much into the dressy wetlook (formal dresses, skirts, halter tops, heels, long gloves, jewelry, etc). Unfortunately, neither of us know much about the fancy clothes and materials, and do not have the money to just try stuff and see what happens, so I thought I'd give this forum a shot with a few questions. I know some of you have a lot of experience with this stuff.

1 - High heels are a major turn-on for me, even moreso once they get wet, but I've read on numerous forums and sites that they don't often last through repeated soakings. Is there a style or material that will last longer than others? Are there any inexpensive brands that will last through a few soakings? (She only showers fully-dressed on rare occasions, so this isn't for daily activities, but I don't want to spend money on heels that will fall apart after the first time.) Also, any tips on care for these heels after they get wet that will help prolong their useability?

2 - She doesn't own much dressy stuff and is rather attached to what she does own. Anything I want her to wear, I'll have to buy for her. Is there anything I should avoid? Will dyes run or will the fabric be damaged? Will dry-clean-only dresses (as many formal dresses are) be damaged by plain, hot water? Will shampoo/bodywash/etc damage clothing?

3 - My girlfriend has only worn cheap glass/crystal/whatever studs in the shower, and they sometimes leave greenish marks on her ears around the piercing. I'm assuming that the metal of the earrings are corroding. Which kinds of jewelry do this, and is there a way to prevent it? Or do I just need to save up and buy her some real earrings, necklaces, etc (as opposed to the $2 Walmart stuff)?

I know I'm really overthinking this, but I have a very limited budget and don't want to buy stuff that won't last a reasonable amount of time. I'm not into brand names or destruction. All I'm interested in is the way she looks when she's wet. Sorry for the long post and for asking so many questions. I'd really appreciate any information or advice.

Thanks in advance!
