Re: Skirts you like but scared to wear in public
I’m really proud of myself. I managed to wear my brown snake print skirt again today. I was really nervous but I just did it and walked confidently with a smile on my face and got no reactions in public and everyone passed me by as if I was dressed normal. However, I walked towards two workmen who stared at me with a baffled expression on their faces but they then looked at each other and continued their work. This has given me confidence to wear my red midi skirt with black hem tomorrow at sewing group. 

My name is Arty. I’m a guy with a passion for wearing skirts, dresses and tights and a hobbiest musician and artist.

I have a crocheted mini sweater dress with deliberate half-inch holes in places. My underwear, or lack thereof, would show through. But I like it.
My tutu has a similar problem of not being opaque, but I'm not sure if I like it much.

That shouldn't be a problem where it is OK to be naked ......... perhaps you might be considered overdressed.
I think that Tutus need something like leotards underneath . or certainly some sort of underwear. I like Tutus as I think they are a complementary decoration for the human body.

Maybe wear the tutu under your sweater dress as a petticoat?

I would love to wear a soft pink tulle, knee length, multi layer skirt out and about.

Again sounds good. Could you show the outfit on? Cut the head off the photo if you want to. Or just lay them out together?Max wrote: ↑Sat Oct 04, 2025 6:54 pmI am thinking a white pull over shirt and low white shoes.Barleymower wrote: ↑Sat Oct 04, 2025 8:44 am Sounds really good Max.

Pics and look is the ideal place. It would end in a image search by people browsing the web. If you cut the head off as well you are safe.

No need to post yourself max. You could just lay the clothes together on a table.Max wrote: ↑Sun Oct 05, 2025 7:26 pmI am declining posting a picture at this time.Barleymower wrote: ↑Sun Oct 05, 2025 7:13 am Could you show the outfit on? Or just lay them out together?

Well, Dr F, did you wear it? I really hope so. And how did it go?
Keep on skirting,

Re: Skirts you like but scared to wear in public
I haven’t worn my red skirt yet. However with the colder weather coming I’ll have to wear an underskirt with it as the read skirt is a bit see through. Anyway, when I’ve worn the skirt I’ll mention my experiences on the cafe.skirtyscot wrote: ↑Fri Oct 17, 2025 8:10 am Well, Dr F, did you wear it? I really hope so. And how did it go?
