Re: A bargain (of sorts) - tennis skort

Since skorts have interior shorts - the need for underwear/gear is optional - - - The skorts with belt loops fly and frontal detailing are very limited compared to rest of the market. Most skorts having lifted the outer skirt have enough fabric stretch to allow for pulling the leg hem aside and doin...

Re: Leggings

hat LOOP under the foot makes the tights/leggings/pants = "Stirrup Pants" - commonly found in ski wear. Exactly, "ski pants", they were form fitting and quite thick, sometimes fleece lined. This may seem strange, but snow is actually cold, skis don't work so well in summer. Stev...

Re: Leggings

I have always thought of leggings as thick tights, where the thickness gives the user the option of not wearing a skirt to cover the interesting bits. Whether the garment covers the foot, or there is just a loop under the foot, or nothing, is just a detail of a particular pair. That LOOP under the ...

Re: Skirt with men's size on label.

Once upon a time there was the RULE OF 20 - - - I.E. take 20 away from the size and voila the result was the size number of the waist measured clothing. Waist of 34 - 20 = 14 Of course rules like laws were made to be ignored voided and subject to whim adjustments of the user/wearer The inch/centimet...

Re: Are we engaging in fashion freedom?

Question: You may not like the skirt below but is it too much. When do clothes become too girly? http://www.skirtcafe.org/forums/download/file.php?id=16148&t=1 When you believe that the majority of viewers think it is too girly. If you don't care what others think then it will not be too girly....

Re: Mechanics of wearing a skirt

Difference between a dress donned over the head and a skirt which usually is a step in. Remember the waist of said dress/skirt has to fit somewhere around the waist and must be flexible enough to get to that point. Dresses don't depend on firm fitting at the waist as the shoulders/upper torso bears ...

Re: Quoting Procedures Etiquette - A Trend

An alternative - consider copy and paste ONLY the necessary portion - and then perhaps highlight in BOLD print.
It gets the crux of the subject matter across without a lot of further to do or fan fare.
Egads how I hate to reread the entire text all over again !

Re: Intimate Medical Issues

Doctors are someone you don't want to see until you do!! I use the local VA clinic for my general health check-ups and I have had nothing but females doing the work. This includes the prostate exams. I was asked when I first started going there if I had a preference, I said I did not. I do not get ...

Re: When you're asked why do you wear skirts?

Simply put --- "Because I can" ! Shocking statement that may or may not continue the conversation with more discussion of the serious merits of wearing the skirt. No dresses for me. That noted - I wear mostly mini kilts (14-16 inch hem length) and skirts with pleated tartan plaid patterns....

Re: Leopard print clothing Female Clothing?

I would guess that only in the movies (videos-dvds-etc.) would a male be seen wearing leopard print (skins).

And then on another token wearing leopard print clothing may be frown upon by endangered species organizations ?

Re: Tarzan the Ape Man

I remember when this was a Saturday afternoon TV show, in the mid 1950's. I was around 4 or 5 years old when it was on air. In the movie, Tarzan's "skirt" was more a loin cloth than a skirt. It didn't have a 'waist band' but a string or rope(vine?) holding it to his waist. No one ever con...
