Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

A black belt or a black clutch maybe, or perhaps a black necklace; something anything to say "these shoes aren't alone".
I tried a belt but the waist line is too high . I see what you mean about helping the shoes not to be lonely Ill work on that. . I got the dress from amazon I liked it so much that I ordered another in a different color.
I really got these dresses to just throw them a little.on when I am around the house. But when I put them on I feel that I have to dress them up

While you are at ebay - you can do a search for elastic belt and see a bunch more.
Thing I like about these belts is the smooth snug form fit with no dangling ends/ends needing to be tucked away.
"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 !
I like the long sleeves OS. It seems finding a dress with good long sleeves is difficult. As stated earlier I normally wind up gravitating towards jumpers where I can pair with a under-top of my choice for this reason. But I'd love to find one like that... just a tad longer for me though.

Yes indeed finding a dress with long sleeves that actually reach the wrist is a challenge.
The norm is a tunic with 3/4 length sleeves - rather awkward until you get the hang of
it sort of like capri pants or sleeveless blouses - cheap skates cutting the corners out of
clothing. This is akin to making mini-skirts so short that they make two at a time when
making them.
With the jumpers I can envision wearing a turtle-neck or mock turtle-neck dickie creating
an all in one garment - and then it could very well be a long sleeve "T" shirt worn underneath !
