Milfmog, as usual (Please feel free to take a bow, Ian.) offers sage advice on the matter. Another thing that may be worth noting, is that the plain A-line skirts don't usually get a lot of press or advertising; these are timeless designs that are staples of a well put-together wardrobe, and as such...

Now that's a serious bit of cogent social comment, Skip. You posted it under 'a little humour', which it is, but it hits far harder than that. Yes, it is a biting bit of social satire, but comparing the early part of the middle of the last century to modern times is frought with peril. Most of the ...

As I recall it [Beckham] was ridiculed for days by the UK Red Top press. I'm not surprised he did not do it again. I don't know about that; my take on it would have been that if tomorrow's cat-box liner ridiculed me for something, I'd use it as an excuse to make a show out of it and ratchet things ...

Miss out the waistcoat and I could go for something like that! Have you posted any pics of such an outift? Imagery may be found in my thread in the "Pics and Looks" forum. It's full of lots of commentary, but the imagery therein speaks pretty well to what I'm up to at the moment. Don't di...

If the pricetags at MIDAS leave your wallet in shock there's always the old standby of a plain, unadorned, A-line women's (or misses, depending on your particular form-factor) skirt in rather sombre colours. It's almost impossible to go wrong with black or a dark navy blue, and that was the first st...

Perhaps you are just further down the skirted road than me, crfriend. I don't view this as a "road" at all, but rather a sometimes remarkably random meandering exploration of what I perceive my own aesthetic to be. Describing it as "road" encourages far too many comparisons and,...

Judging by the photos posted on this site, the men's dept would still not have anything frilly, flouncy, shiny or flowery - I for one wouldn't want anything like that. I believe this is a matter of personal taste. I have several skirts in all of the categories listed above, some of which have more ...

Its the wording that 'winds me up'. Anything any-way any-time for women, usual restrictions apply for blokes. I feel the need to mention that this was not always the case, and that we may not be in a "better place" than we, generally, were before. Recall that for quite a while women were ...

I often search the women's skirt section looking for skirts and overall looks that would be believable for a guy. This company is helping us out whether they realize it or not. Don't let it "wind you up", rather, learn from it and plan your next outfit from it if it suits you... Indeed th...

What is confusing? While growing up, having an interest in trying unbifurcated garments - the unstated assumption being that boys cannot be interested in such things. (One thing that was never actually explained was why unbifurcated garments are unacceptable for males). That's the wonderful thing w...

I have wondered if one could make a simple garment, sewing with a pattern. Don't wonder, get started. I wholeheartedly concur with this assertion! Skirts are amongst the simplest garments to make, and if one starts with very basic types patterns are not even necessary; I've made two from scratch wi...

I would guess that the person who put this> ''{A person of words and not of deeds}{ is like a garden full of weeds}.''< in the cookie was not an English speaking person. That's in an approximation of meter, so it qualifies as poetry and is hence not beholden to the rules of strict grammar. An alter...

CD or TV? I suppose the question is whether one only desires aural stimulation or whether one desires both aural and visual stimulation. :twisted: We must consider the possibility that some individuals are actually DC. ( Dazed and Confused ) Indeed we might also consider "Attention Challenged&q...

By the way, if you'd seen what those crocs could do to a big stick and joints of raw meat, you too would be glad to get home alive! That's why the crocs are kept at a safe distance from the crowd and distracted by the food! The granddaughters are the ones that tell me, when I complain of feeling co...

But recall that in all of this, the PRIMARY propulsion of the yacht is canvas. We often make an entire trip without recourse to the motor at all, sailing from anchor-up to anchor-down. Nice! I sail with an opportunist who is desperately sick of tacking for 2 hours to get out into open water from Bo...
