Product Review

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

Product Review

Post by Uncle Al »

Hi all :D

I needed to "update" my wardrobe a bit due losing 85lbs.
I love a "Sale" (who doesn't :?: ) :D

Found these on Walmart.com and love the brand of clothing. Time and Tru Women's Midi Shirtdress with Short Sleeves
Image

The material is suited more for warmer weather but I couldn't beat the price. :D Very light and airy.
The material has greater stretch than I expected but, still ordered an XL(Extra Large). I should've ordered
the L(Large) as the cut, and style, of the fabric is quite generous. Perfect length for my 6' 2" height. I've
only worn one, as pictured above. I have the other color as well. The functional side-seam pockets are very
deep. My hand goes into them, well beyond my wrist.

I may re-order them in the next size smaller, just hope they stay around for a few weeks.
I must realize that I no longer fit in the Plus-Sized arena of clothing choices.

The dress is nice; but the big news -- sounds like the weight loss has continued steadily and over such a long period now that you've adapted the new habits. Great on both scores!

I am pleased both weight and dress buying are going well.

I have to say and this is no criticism on Al, but the picture Walmart are using to sell this dress is IMHO poor. The model's legs look all wrong, there must of been a better picture in the set taken to use?

Mouse the picture quality is poor because they have hung the dress on the model in the same way you could hang clothes on a paper model with folded over paper tags.
You can "choose your model" with figures ranging from small to large. No option to hang the dress on a man though. Of course not! What a ridiculous thought.

My apologies, I just looked at the picture. Now I have used the Walmart link I understand the concept.

I like the dress. I don't own any dresses yet, for me its a whole different area from skirts, but it looks like it would be great to wear.

Trust me on this, dresses ARE great to wear, as evidenced by my wearing one in my avatar. Like with me, you might find that once you start wearing dresses, you’ll find them hard to resist.

I’m sure I will find them very hard to resist. Hopefully I’ve got plenty of time to dive into this lifestyle. When my wife goes away end of April my plan is to have at least one dress to wear at home and then try and think of somewhere to wear it. Hopefully I’ll have a couple by then.

I’m driving my wife to Bristol Airport on 30th April and planning a trip into Bristol before returning home. That will be a skirted or a dress outing depending on what I’ve found to wear. Ive then got 9-10 days of wearing skirts at home and hopefully out and about before she comes home.

I second that! The only time I don't wear a dress when I sometimes wear a man's coat and tie outfit on Sunday mornings for a change,

I had the opposite situation occur. One time on a chilly morning I wore a plaid shirt and jeans instead of my usual dress. My wife said, "Why are you wearing that f*cking shirt?"

A side note: Going back to "The Product".

The light weight material is great is summer heat but I'ld recommend wearing
a half-slip, at least, with the dress. Depending on lighting, SOME ONE would
think you're exposing your self to others. Per a well know member of Skirt Cafe',
this happened to him, being called into H.R. to qualify his intentions. From then on,
he wore a slip/half-slip with his skirts made with light weight(see through) material.

Better to be safe than sorry, with questionable(perverted) mind-sets of those around you :!:
