With a wide or small elastic band, the crinkle effect will be the same.

You don't have to hide under the chair. It takes me more than 130 hours driving time to get to you on my bike.

That sounds like good engineering from the members. I'm afraid the elastic band will leave a slightly crinkled waist. I like to get a more fitting appearance with about 1/2" clearance around the waist section. A back zipper is not really an option. With 75 my joints are showing some stiffness w...

Hey B.L. :D This is just a SUGGESTION for you to try. On the next 'dress', add a 2 inch(3 inch before sewing) wide black 'band' between the top and bottom portions of "The Dress". This would enhance the waistline and yet allow the freedom of movement you're looking for, without the constr...

Great work, bl. What if you loosen the belt a notch or two, so it does little more than draw attention to the waist? The belt was added just to see the effect. It is a heavy belt made from the same material as harnesses for horses. I had to tighten it to prevent it sliding of and exposing the seam ...

That camo mini looks like Stevie Wonder and Andrea Bocelli came together and made it for Rambo.

I think the absolute numbers of cases with the virus are more telling than the numbers per capita. I also disagree.  The only thing the number of cases tells you is the number of cases; it is far more telling to know the size of the population they came from. Supposing I told you that my weedkiller...

Between tolerating and accepting, she still is nearer tolerating than accepting. BL I suspect a LOT of guys in this forum would be tickled pink (or blue) to have a S.O. that tolerates. Accepting more oft seem to be friends; and the Endorsing woman is a rare wonder! Sounds like you've a pretty decen...

I still don't give up. I will start some wrap skirts that have some kilt-like properties. Maybe that will ease the situation.

Welcome to this forum. I lived for 65 year in the Netherlands and passed Charleroi many times on my way to France but never visited it. I'm sure I missed a nice city looking at Google Streetview to Place Charles II and beyond. There is a lot of expertise on this forum so if you have any questions, f...

Take the USA as is today, take the USA with a rigorous enforced protection with distancing, face masks, quarantaining and testing in place and a third USA where the same population is evenly spread over the surface of the USA, how do you think the numbers will develop on a day to day case? Case #1 w...

I think the absolute numbers of cases with the virus are more telling than the numbers per capita. The infection is spread from human to human. From patient "zero" the spreading depends on the way people behave. If they take all the measures like distancing, face masks and cleaning surface...

In the 6 years I'm into skirts, my wife has not changed her view. Between tolerating and accepting, she still is nearer tolerating than accepting. The flowy circle skirt I wore yesterday she hated just because she find it flaunting. I'm afraid we are stuck in our ways with no hope of improvement.

Try some "masculine" skirts such as kilts. They don't need to be authentic. There are a lot of plaid pleated skirts online and are inexpensive. Try camouflage skirts. Kohl's has some nice ones very cheap. Tarnista, Shein, are some others. Get a khaki skirt from Dickie's. I shortened mine ...

Last year I started a second stealth dress but I lost confidence in the concept and stopped almost at the end. A week ago I stumbled upon the dress because a pin pricked my finger when I browsed through some fabric. I finished the last stitches and tried it on. I made two slits to the sides of the n...

My wife is still way off when it comes to accepting my choise of clothing. Whit the temperature quite high today (at last), I started the day with a circle skirt of 360 degrees about 2 inches above the knee. So it has a lot of drape. According to her it moves too much in a girly way when I walk. Tha...
