Rather decent-looking dress made for men

Post by Jerevo »

If my wardrobe were not already overfull I'd most probably order one of these. It's nice to see an everyday design rather than designers trying too hard.

It's OK I suppose. I just prefer at least short sleeves on all the garments I wear. But then I burn easily so I don't like to expose more skin than I need to.

Everything is just fine EXCEPT gotta do something about the WAIST line.
I don't have an "A" frame waist - more like a "D".
Thus need a prop - a large belt - cummerbund - sash - maybe even a fly plaid anchored at the waist instead of the shoulder.
But egads my kingdom for the waist reduction implement !

Well maybe it is not all that bad - but the waist has to start outward from the empire waist instead of the hips.
Omar the tent maker is going to hands full with this ! LOL !

OH and nice dress - I like it !
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

It's relatively expensive for a house dress (75 € with a 10 € surcharge if you want it long).
I'll stick to the women's clothing catalogs or if I want to be creative, I'll go a fabric store and buy some cloth and a pattern. Dresses are not that hard to make. :D

I agree it's nice to see a practical men's dress that has not been messed up by overly creative designers.
