UA: wrote: Since January 2024 until now, I've lost 80lbs. That means I've gone from a 2X/3X down to an XL, and maybe down to an L in size. My khaki linen skirt (3X) MUST be worn with a belt because if I slightly suck in my tummy, it hits the floor :oops: Wow, that is great; averaged about the perfe...

Another unanswerable question -- so I'll skirt the question.... "Favorite" is a horrible word -- it implies exclusivity. My skirts run from short enough one must have undergarments, and even those may still show; to floor dragging; with the preponderance somewhere between mid thigh and mid...

I got my first compliment today whilst walking through the university grounds going to town. I wore black rigger boots with black tights and my short pinafore dress with burgundy waistcoat and a long black trenchcoat and a young woman in her 20s passed by and smiled at me and told me she likes what...

A silly aside. I have been asked numerous times if what I am wearing is a kilt, by both men and women; but today I was asked if what is was wearing was a skirt! I answered in the affirmative, and the youngish woman complimented me on it, emphasizing she liked it, the whole outfit and that was about ...

After all these years (my first post in Skirtcafe, 2015, was inquiring about Levi Strauss skirts) I'm only interested in knee-length (or thereabouts) utilitarian skirts I can wear anywhere and live in, with a full complement of pockets, belt loops, front closure and zip. Why impose such constraints...

I've shopped and touted charity shops; Goodwill and consignment shop for a long while -- it would have been my first thought for a denim skirt --so often there is a bunch of them. Let go of your pride/snob sense and think 'recycle', savings for you and the planet, and an easy way to fill a closet an...

But I defy convention in my own subtle ways, and hair decoration is one of them. I grow my hair long, which hasn't been a big deal since 1970, Recently, on line, I came across an attempt-in Arkansas-to legislate gender conformity for males. To summarize, dictate by law that a man's hair must be sho...

These "Very Short Shorts" are what I remember as a child and young adult. They were NORMAL at that time. The "New" shorts are longer than Bermuda Shorts. Yuck :!: Bring Them Back :!: Uncle Al :mrgreen: :ugeek: :mrgreen: Yes, I remember them too, and as the standard fare of the d...

Noticed a woman wearing a skirted rig in a gas station, talking to the employee. Looked like a short dress worn over black tights. Or would the term be "tunic" :?: Is the woman's world really that barren of skirts that one wearing a dress, tunic, skirt --at a gas station is worthy of note...

i think we are at the point that humans will prefer ai girlfriends soon bc its easier Perhaps for one's fantasy world; but I doubt a blue screen is going to replace any genuine companionship, and it is extraordinarily lacking in sensorial benefits unless you also like rubber dolls. It might be usef...

I don’t know if this qualifies as an “item” to wear, but, I’ve experimented from time to time with perfume, currently I’m using Obsession by Calvin Klein, and I’ve liked it, the smell is delightful and it works for me. Jeff; many in the circles I travel in request "scent free" offices and...

And what a great and easy place for bright colors & skirts. Glad you are enjoying and finding what most regular skirt wearers have found, some second glances of course, that is natural -- and the world just keeps chugging along! Having somebody with you also seems to help put in people's mind th...

That argument works for those ‘undergoing transition’, although what that amounts to is variously defined. The judgment was really about self identification as whatever (woman, dog ape, dining table etc) without any change, physical or otherwise. These people then claim the right to use female only...
