Re: jury duty

Old thread - but I got called for Jury Duty service and wondered if there had been discussion on this one before. The court has this language on their website: "Please wear clothing that is conservative, clean and comfortable. Shorts, tank tops and bare midriffs are not appropriate." Which...

Any pattern suggestions?

I plan on making this skirt with some denim/canvas material for the summer: https://hartsfabric.com/tilly-and-the-buttons-ramona-skirt.html But I just picked up a couple of yards of silk (Dupioni Silk) in a mustard/gold and a striped teal/gold. Both are amazing, and I need an appropriate pattern. Th...

Re: Wool Skirts Art Exhibit

There are some nice skirts, but it seems a shame to break up the collection put together over three generations. That bugged me a bit as well - I guess my only thoughts were that the current owners have no conceivable way to store, preserve the collection, and may not even be that fond of most of t...

Wool Skirts Art Exhibit

Well, today is the last day, apparently: https://lasudestada.com/wool-skirts/ This might have been an interesting event to attend! I just heard about it last night. Also, a "shop" link for some egregiously overpriced wool skirts, I suspect the main purpose of the exhibition LOL. I think if...

Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?

Now I can't unsee this image - https://i.pinimg.com/736x/75/f3/71/75f3 ... 64bb15.jpg

Would make for a cool skirt - each tier would have a screen printed label - and each tier would be a different shade of tulle or organza.

Re: Newsweek: Bad Bunny Wearing Dress for Super Bowl Show Sparks Fury

I have a slightly more positive outlook. Not so much that one celebrity will turn the tides, or that an influencer's power will change people's opinions. What I hope comes from these sorts of things are discussions. Maybe conversations that happen at the dinner table. The cynic in me says those will...

Re: The Kilt that Isn't

I find it hilarious how pessimistic most of us are (myself included). Regardless of that, don’t people here think these types of changes are the small steps that will normalize MIS? I get that the cynical take is that this is being done for “virtue signaling”, but it is a very visible change - and i...

Re: Eliminating the waistline: avoiding an unflattering optical illusion in male skirts

I have mixed feelings about these discussions. I think it's helpful to reflect on what has come before us (historical clothing), how men/women differ generally (but not at an individual level), and what the current trend for proportions are and how to achieve them. However, I have a lot of trouble w...

Re: women bluring the gender lines

Note one thing in particular, those illustrations show women of a certain status. No low income working class females, more like starlets and avant-garde socialites. Like the medieval simptuary laws, one for the rich , another for the poor. How times may not have changed. Steve. The article mention...

Re: Cant get enough of Men's Skirts

Have you tried r/oldhagfashion? Some MIS post there. Some of those other groups are also present, but they are also minorities. No upskirts or other dodgy stuff; modesty remains the order of the say. I used to post my outfits there - it's one of the alt subs I was mentioning. But, there were very f...

Re: Cant get enough of Men's Skirts

I concur with Seb. I sent some messages to the mods several years ago, but little to nothing was done and I left the sub as well. I think the trouble is there is no one "right way for a man to wear a skirt" but I do think some gatekeeping is acceptable when a sub has a narrow definition of...

You have to use the mobile app, I think. I didn't see it on their website.

Re: Amazon "Style it on you" feature

Well, don't get me wrong - it might work well, my photo (with jeans) could have been the issue (although, I had it put a striped shirt on me and it was pretty bad, though not nearly as much so). It probably is best to start with a closely matching outfit, I think? I don't know how much time I want t...
