Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?

Mid calf for me. Knee length just acceptable. I feel too exposed if wearing above the knee.

Re: A pencil skirt

1. Make the skirt fuller and rapidly tapered in at the waist by means of pleats or darts. That little extra bit of fullness gets rid of the problem at the "wrong spot" but doesn't ruin the overall straight-long silhouette effect. You can afford to add a slight taper inwards once past the ...

If you like science fiction/horror, I can recommend that you see Rebirth on the big screen.

Re: UFOs

The last point is that earth-like planets are vanishingly rare. We are incredibly lucky to be on a planet that’s just where it is. I just wish we took better care of it. Multiple conditions had to be just right for the Earth to be the life bearing planet that it is. Like squeezing through a series ...

Re: Bespoke skirts for men

[*]Getting rid of the horizontal line formed between the top and bottom garment can notably improve visual harmony and reduce the 'dumpy' look. That can be done either with curved hem tops, or combining the skirt and top into a 'dress'.[/*] [/list] Some dress styles could almost be described as ver...

Yes the cost is prohibitive for most
I can imagine someone splurging for a bespoke garment, if he has a very strong interest in a particular design...that he can't find.

Re: Bespoke skirts for men

The form of the garment should follow the form of the body pretty tightly. Only if you're really interested in the "body-con" look, which very few can properly pull off. I think that you will find that, generally, those who can pull off the body-con look tend to be quite young, and toward...

Re: Stealth Skirt trick

To elaborate, there is the concept of two pleats, one in front, one in back, hinting at shorts legs. The end result being a garment that resembles baggy shorts.

As I recall, someone elaborated on this by adding a fastener, so the hem in front and the hem in back could be connected between the legs.
