OK, my intention at the moment is to go for it on Wednesday on a different site to what I work on, and Thursday in my normal site. Hopefully on Thursday it will be very quiet so I can get used to it first. I have spoken with my immediate colleagues (bar 4) about it, they are all supportive, but when...

I do prefer fuller skirts. It's not that it happens a lot, but it is just at the back of my mind.

I'm sure it will be OK once I finally do it!

I've got a friend who has offered to take me shopping, so hopefully in the next few weeks I will see what she suggests. I do have more in the way of skirts than trousers, but I feel just not appropriate. I have to admit my biggest fear isn't really about wearing skirts in public, I have done that in...

Thanks for all the tips and advice. I spoke with my manager with a colleague the other day, he has changed his tune a little. So hopefully, I will be able to do it soon. I was away on a course for a week, so it wasn't really possible to sort anything out last week. I just need to sort my pain medica...

Software design, yeah that is a little more relaxed. But with engineering because where I had worked at we deal with contractors and clients a lot hence it wasn't the same as just being stuck out in the back office looking pretty. I have a meeting scheduled with my LM on Monday with my confidant, so...

That's amazing. If you don't mind, what kind of work and what location are we talking about? I'm an Engineer, I have worked in several places from broadcasters to government departments. At present I am Software Engineering which is a little different. Writing code, so don't really interact with th...

Really? Who goes suit and tie when they don't have to? Everywhere I have worked so far it's been the same no dress code, but still get those in suits. I do occasionally but only when I have meetings. That's usually the case, but take your lead from the men and lean towards business-formal, even if ...

I'm not really asking for "permission", I just thought it would be a good idea to let people know so it wasn't a huge shock to them. I have worn skirts and dresses since I was able to dress myself. But growing up in the 80's I was always told it was "wrong". Hence I am a little w...

Thanks for all your replies. Did you ever wear a skirt to your previous job in London? Reading your older posts I see that you were all geared up to do it, but then things went quiet. The intentin was there, but then where I was working started going downhill, change in personell, eventually the dep...

It's a casual office, I tend to wear jeans in the Winter and Shorts in the summer. The skirts I have are pleated, one red, one pastel pink. Both are pretty long. I do have other skirts as well, but that is all they have seen so far. Just a question as to how to discuss it and get the support of my l...

I should point out that I have shown my colleagues who know pictures of what I have, they say it should be OK. But would prefer something a little more suitable for an office environment.

re-introduce myself. The last time I came on here, I was working in London, living in Berkshire, UK. I have since moved jobs and now based in Wiltshire. It is a rather rural area that I live in. Even though my job is no longer in London, I still do travel to London on work meetings. So... I am still...

It's not a conventional prosthesis, it is implanted so none of the normal problems you get with the suction.

I tend to wear shorts a lot, very rarely do I wear long trousers, even in the mid of winter so that shouldn't be a problem

pencil skirts are no good. I have never worn one, but if it is a case of using the knees to much I will struggle. I only have one leg, hence anything that restricts movement will be a problem.

I will wonder into M&S and see what they have, maybe even click and collect.

thanks for all the responses, I already own a number of skirts/dresses, I think I probably have more skirts than what I have trousers. But they are all very girly. I do have a red pleated one which is ankle length. I am just thinking about going out in public now, I would like to progress to flowery...
