Believe it or not, there's a product called Sock Glue that is supposed to hold socks and stockings in position for an extended time and even during high activity periods. I haven't tried it yet; but, it has a 4.9 out of 5 star rating from 100 reviewers. A score that high from so many people is promi...

r.m.anderson said It is a wicked world out there all those strange sizes Juniors; Misses; Petites; Average; Tall; Women; Plus and One Size Fits All. Fortunately the Half Sizes have been retired. Then the sizes have NUMBERS - OMG what's a person to do ? Odd numbers for Juniors - Even for Misses - Lar...

Folks absolutely do notice and I only recently became convinced of this fact. I always checked my outfits in a mirror before venturing out of the house and I was firmly of the opinion that my skirts, most of which were converted cargo shorts, still resembled the cargo shorts from which they were der...

crfriend wrote: Secondly, and I cannot really comment on this with any sort of accuracy, there may not be any sort of tradition of skirts being a year-round garment there so they'd look really alien on anybody, especially a man. Good point! I think that, irrespective of the season, a skirt of any t...

I wore skirts (all converted men's pants and shorts) in northern Virginia during warm weather for many years without notable incident and I firmly believed that nobody cared what I wore. Two years ago, I retired in South Carolina where the climate is more temperate and one of my goals was to wear th...

The restaurants around here do not take reservations, so you normally have to spend 15 to 30 minutes standing around until your name is called from a waiting list. To avoid blocking the main entrance in one restaurant, we normally stand in the corridor leading to the rest rooms where we can still he...

Hemitom, I assume that you mean converting a pair of men's shorts such as cargo shorts. In my opinion, the short conversion will give you a better and more presentable skirt if you use wide leg cargo shorts (which are getting more difficult to find in recent years) and you have some sewing abilities...

For instance, I would not even contemplate showing up in court without a jacket and tie. Having recently moved from the Washington DC area, that was my first thought also. On the Friday before my jury duty I drove to the courthouse to make sure I knew where it was located. I specifically asked the ...

I spent Monday through Wednesday of this week serving as a jury member at a South Carolina Judicial Center where both civil and criminal cases are processed. The written dress code states that "BY ORDER OF THE COURT YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE COURTROOM IF YOU ARE WEARING SHORTS, TANK TOPS, ...

I don't. One of the primary reasons I wear skirts is because they are crotchless. Placing a pair of tights, in lieu of loose fitting briefs, under a skirt would defeat this purpose. In the winter, I wear long skirts around the house to keep my legs warm. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a long skir...

This topic persuaded me to finally register in the forum. I flew from South Carolina to New York on the 28th of October. I believe that this was the first day of the enhanced pat-downs, although I did not realize it at the time. I was wearing a top of the knee cap length black skirt which was conver...

I'm a 64 year old married male who retired last summer and recently moved to South Carolina. I've been a guest at this forum since its inception and, before that, frequented Tom's Cafe. I started wearing skirts around the house in the summer of 2000 and have now graduated to full time skirting (at l...
