Underkilt

Post by Jim »

My employer has expressed being disturbed about me wearing a skirt at work, but has agreed that a kilt is acceptable. However, it was stated that I needed to wear underwear. For me, part of what makes a skirt comfortable is to not have something binding on some very sensitive skin where the legs join.

I have seen "underkilts" (essentially slips) advertized. I am very short between waist and knee, so the underkilts (and most slips) are too long for me, and cost a lot for a low income worker such as myself. So I decided to make a simple underkilt. I just took out the bottom seam of a few pairs of old men's boxers. I can even occasionally let the waistband show above the kilt belt to reassure my employer, but still have feeling of freedom.

So, what, is he going to make you do the old stand-over-the-mirror routine?

And is there a similar dress code for women wearing skirts?
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

Just ask ... and I am not a liar.

I think I successfully stopped that from being in a proposed dress code, at least for now.

Hey, I'm pleased a utility kilt is deemed acceptable. You can't have everything, all the time. If I were running the place, it would be clothing optional.

So true. And a Utilikilt isn´t that bad, compared to a regular skirt.

There ARE viable alternatives to trousers.
