Re: The Dressing Room
Did you not want the ones I got Lils? They go up to size 5.5.

I'm a size 6 :clodhopper: I also have to be very careful with shoes because of my foot problems. I will enjoy yours vicariously.

Re: The Dressing Room
I received a 20% discount from Baukjen and have ordered this. I'm trying to adopt Livilla's way of shopping: a few quality pieces once in a while. I don't have a summery blouse, and I really love the look, feel and quality of this.

I've also ordered a pair of these to see what they're like:

Re: The Dressing Room
I found a pair of trousers I’d forgotten I have this morning when digging out some shorts to wear. I popped them on straight from the shower and they fit beautifully and are like a pair I’d been looking at online in khaki or pale pink (mine are beige). Obviously I then took them off and realised I’d stained them with body oil.
ETA: some fairy liquid and a second run through the machine and they’re fine. Free clothes!

Re: The Dressing Room
Excellent work! I've got a horrid feeling I am not going to fit into any my shorts. I'm living in some tie-dye dresses I bought in Ibiza at the moment.

Re: The Dressing Room
I love the blouse Lils. In my experience, palazzo pants are hard to pull off.

Re: The Dressing Room
I hoped they would be cool for work, whenever I go back there. Anyway they're not due in until the end of the month so I've cancelled the order and will try again when I get paid.

Re: The Dressing Room
A couple of eBay purchases that I’m waiting on. I need to stop the late night browsing after watching Sewing Bee though. :toot:

I have made this thrilling purchase (the jeans, not the tops)

Re: The Dressing Room
Very nice items,Pip.
I like those jeans, Smal.
I have ordered a smock dress from O Boners as befits my new shape. I'm going to add my own pockets to it, because a dress like this should absolutely have pockets. I will tell them this.

Re: The Dressing Room
Sort of I think, they're jeggings though. I am quite prepared to hate them and send them back (I don't often do well with paler trousers)
That's a lovely dress Marth!

Re: The Dressing Room
Is it easy to add your own pockets Marth? I’d love to be able to do that on so many of my clothes.
I like those jeggings Smal, but know what you mean about paler denims.

Re: The Dressing Room
That dress absolutely needs pockets! I was quite miffed that my Madewell dress upthread didn't have them.

Re: The Dressing Room
I haven't done it before but I've found a few you tube videos and it absolutely can be done. I'll take a pattern from another dress and use and old black slip that I never wear.Pippedydeadeye wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 12:21 pm Is it easy to add your own pockets Marth?

Re: The Dressing Room
I was idly wondering about inserting pockets into something I was wearing the other day. I wish I could sew well.

Re: The Dressing Room
Have you got a machine? I think it's pretty simple. I would actually hand sew them in some things.Pippedydeadeye wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 1:40 pm I was idly wondering about inserting pockets into something I was wearing the other day. I wish I could sew well.

Re: The Dressing Room
I generally don't buy stuff now unless it has pockets, dresses are bad enough but I have no idea why anyone would make trousers without them
