Even now, when on formal parades, or at events involving dancing, underwear is required by the regulations .

At the time the kilt was adopted for Scottish soldiers in British regiments (usually with the Government tartan now known as "Black Watch"), underwear was not really worn under either kilts or breeches, so there was no need for an "order" to "go commando" (or as kilt-we...

... what amazed me was all the women making positive comments on it. That is a great dress: I would love to wear that kind of thing. I did order a strapless dress from Thrift+ once, but they really do need serious adaptation to the boobless figure. I had concluded that a halter neck might work best...

A Karen Millen zip front sleeveless black real leather midi dress. It’s a gorgeous dress that gives that “wow” feeling. I teamed it with 4” block heel knee boots.

Sounds enviable!

I have occasionally seen explicit age limits for cross-sex loos or changing rooms: the one I remember stated 7 as the oldest child allowed in the "other" changing room with a parent.

Drat! Went to check their website, discovered a sale, and now I've gone and bought another skirt!

I wore a dress to practice with the church music group and got no comment. (It is a very plain black knee-length dress, sleeveless and worn over a long-sleeved t-shirt, with a thick knitted cardigan on top.) On Sunday I'm planning to wear a near-ankle-length skirt in a dark tartan-like check. (Bough...

For me, the kilt was a huge part of gaining confidence in wearing what I liked. It was a socially acceptable way of wearing a skirt, and I started in my mid 20s. I later branched out into plain coloured kilts. It was decades before I realised that society was allowing me to wear skirts only of one p...

In Scotland, pleating to the stripe is reserved mainly for military kilts. Civilian kilts are generally pleated to continue the sett.

I love the poem, even though I can't tell the connotations of all the words and images in the original.

I have noticed that if I'm feeling down, I haven't the inner confidence that I need to go out in a skirt, and I resort to trousers.

In town today, I noticed that H&M are currently running an ad featuring women in suits.

I had a nice compliment on my outfit today: black/dark grey denim skirt, of the kind that starts as a sort of pencil-type but then breaks into pleats above the knee and finishes just below the knee. I wore it with a very male combination of navy pinstripe shirt and grey pinstripe waistcoat, wuth bla...

Many of the garments I see for sale with designs on have clearly been photographed separately and then had a design photoshopped on top. This is obvious in the more blatant examples because the design does not follow the shape of the garment.

I always like to support any retailer that is prepared to push the boundaries, so I bought one and it arrived today. I felt the same, and bought one. Although the weather is not suitable for trying it out as a running garment today, I have no problem with the snug fit. (Maybe I am less burdened in ...
