I've never bought any as I didn't know what it's like. Sorry that doesn't help you @Silver Rose but I'm curious how you get on

In the wardrobe / Re: Heeelllllllppppp!!!!! Advice needed.
« on: March 19, 2019, 09:34:52 AM »
Why not wear the bird top with your black skirt....I doubt anybody would even mention or ask you about it. What does it really matter anyway, I pair things together that probably a lot of people wouldn't even wear in their own home, I consider it slight eccentricity. If I do catch anybody looking I just look right back at them, it's amusing.
Years ago I once - only once - left for work one morning in a black shoe and a navy blue shoe, I had an identical pair to match up with black skirt and tights or navy skirt and tights. It was in winter so was dark when I was getting dressed and I didn't notice until it got lighter. Nobody said a word but I was mortified, I was about 20, see how you relax with the advancing years

I agree with t'other suggestions, match the top with something in one of the bird colours. Sorted. The top is lovely BTW

@b15erk it looks ok to me - some would say to take no notice of that! - unless it looks worse on you than the hanger? I would be happy with that

Fun with Fabric / Re: Dye help please
« on: March 16, 2019, 12:46:34 PM »
@jintie you could try a dye remover or colour run remover, no idea how it will turn out I've never done it. Probably best to give it a good wash, hot as it can take, maybe a squirt of bleach? Sorry, all ifs and buts, just got to risk something radical

In the wardrobe / My snazzy new frock
« on: March 14, 2019, 14:56:25 PM »
A short while ago, my oldest most creative friend gave me an article from her newspaper showing outfits by a designer - can't remember - who had conjured up dresses using two different fabrics. We both liked. I really liked. So here's my version.
I have a pair of slouchy trousers made up in the grey polyester 'triangles' print, and plenty of the cotton lawn left over. More trousers?
I appreciate it won't be to everybody's taste but, just like the sassy lady in the Jaguar, I don't always do popular choices. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
