Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

I was thinking of Deutonomy 22 in church this morning.

Verse 12 says to sew tassels on the corners of your garment. I may have been the only one there with tassels.

Re: Buying freedom

I have a few of the Time and Tru Women's Sleeveless Knit Swing Dress from Walmart . They are VERY comfortable and have 2 in-seam side pockets - that are deep. If you don't mind a 'crew' neckline, these are fabulous. They are tunic-like as they come just above my knee. (I'm 6' 2") No 'built-in'...

Re: very short shorts

Maybe we should be hollering for the default men's wear of the early Christians -- and dress more like Christ-- to bring the Western world of men around! Sounds like a good idea to return to that as a common style. I expect the fashion was almost universal then, with the exception of wearing loincl...

Re: Sizing

The sizes on the label mean almost nothing. I carry a tape measure in my belt pack next to my wallet. Skirt sizes that fit run from 4 to 14 or 16, small to XL. And dresses are worse. You need to know both your waist and chest measurements and check both. Of course, if you can try it on in the store,...

Re: very short shorts

I don't like being hot, nor consider air conditioning sustainable. So, before I graduated to skirts, my shorts were generally short. Normal shorts when growing up, but men's fashion changed to long shorts, so regular shorts became known as short shorts. When not homemade cut-offs, the shorts therefo...

Re: men in skirts t shirt idea

Just make the t-shirt almost knee-length; then it can serve as a dress.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"

Last night, my wife and I joined another couple we are friends with to go to the square/contra dance in Chillicothe, Illinois. Meg and I haven't done this for years, the first time since her brain injury. There was a man, 30ish, wearing a short black strapped dress over black and white leggings. I h...

Re: American Neighbour

As well as the word Indian having different meanings between US and UK, the same can be said of the term Asian. In the UK, that typically means someone from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka. If you describe someone as Asian in the US, it generally is used to describe people with heritage linked to China,...

Re: WARNING!!!

On calls, there is a real person calling. They are often obviously working in a large call center. The person calling may well have been driven to such a "job" by poverty. When I'm in a better mood, I try to be compassionate in urging the caller to get an honest job.

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

If you choose to follow a particular creed, all well and good, but keep it to yourself. Don’t shove it down someone else’s throat. In other words, this thread and others like it are offensive and should be shut down. Of course, don't shove it down someone else's throat. That would be offensive. The...

Re: interesting interaction

Thank you, Susie.

Part of my motivation in skirt-wearing is to battle sexism, which I believe hurts all of us, but statistically,y women have suffered from more than men.

We here need to listen to your viewpoint.

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

Steve, there are those of us here who take our faith and the Bible seriously. If this verse worries anyone who comes here, I would like to take their concern seriously and address it. If one is a Torah-following Jewish person, then the details of interpretation need to be examined. Anyone who makes ...

Re: ethnic mens dress on pernia's popup shop

Not sure if it's supposed to be inspired from some southeast asian garment of some kind, but it's an interesting idea. https://www.perniaspopupshop.com/siddartha-tytler-men-ivory-chanderi-thirty-kali-anarkali-set-stycm112375.html? They describe it as an "anarkali". You can see lots of the...
