I tried it on, it fit, everything looked fine. When I wore it to work, it turned out that the dress was see-through and anyone and everyone could see my yellow underwear underneath! I couldn't see how sheer it was in the dressing room. Luckily I had a shirt undeneath and just pulled that out. But on the way home to the bus station, the wind was so strong that the jumper kept doing the Marilyn Monroe. I never wore that thing again. I had bought a jumper dress at Ross last summer.

I step out and close the door and Wooosh! My skirt was pooled on the ground around my ankles. The elastic in the waistband had just given out. Fortunately, there wasn't too much traffic passing by since this was a side street. A safety pin lent to me by one of my co-workers kept the skirt up for the rest of the day.

I am a well-endowned woman, and in the middle of one of my animated responses to the students, my front-hook bra came entirely undone. I hid behind the podium. I'm not sure if they noticed--all well-mannered Virginians they were--but I sure noticed.

I wear a lot of knit tops for a reason. I also have had problems with wrap dresses. I remember one in I had in college that looked perfect as long as I was standing up, but would fall completely open every time I sat down unless I kept my knees locked together--and heaven forbid I cross my legs. Aiee. More recently, I bought a pair of Doc Martens I found at a thrift store. What I didn't know was that the price was written on the bottom in grease pencil--not just on the one sole (which I washed off) but BOTH of them. Since I also have a tendency to sit in the rather unladylike ankle-on-knee position, it wasn't long before one of my friends pointedly asked, "So, how much DID you pay for those shoes?" "Why, I--" *looks at bottom of shoe* "Oh, $%*&!" As a busty gal with a nipped in waist, I’ve had buttons come undone more times than I care to remember. I wear a lot of knit tops for a reason.

Check. Walking round the office with shirt buttons undone? Check. Low decolleté top being pushed down by heavy handbag strap, exposing bra? Check. Wrap dress gaping, exposing legs and panties for anyone who cared to look, near the main street of my town? Check - as a matter of fact I'd safety pinned the thing to keep that from happening, but obviously not near enough! Now I safety pin the h*** out of the silly dress, or wear a slip under it. Shirt/dress on inside out? Check - fortunately that's only happened in my house so far. Judo gi trousers becoming untied and loose? Check - in a class full of guys, aargh. Walking around with zipper down? Check check check. That's a recurring one. Perhaps I have a deep unacknowledge desired to become a nudist, and I subconsciously sabotage myself thus - that would explain the embarrasing frequency and variety of wardrobe malfunctions.

A colleague of mine stepped into her first class of the morning and asked her students to hand in their homework. Only two students had completed it. She wound up to give the class a big talking-to when Mr. Class Clown raises his hand. "Not now, Jimmy." She brushed him off and launched into a speech about responsibility ("Not now, Jimmy,") and planning ahead ("Not now, Jimmy!") and most of all, PAYING ATTENTION to what you're doing. "Yes, Jimmy? I hope you were PAYING ATTENTION!" "Excuse me, miss," said Jimmy, "but I believe you have your dress on back to front."

I had an hour to kill so I decided to walk around the area. As I was crossing the street (WALK sign still lit), a huge truck comes right at me! I jump to the curb--and fall flat on my butt. The black wool knee-length skirt was fine but my nylons were shot and I had scrapes along my thigh. No drug store near by. I go into a Victoria's Secret, hoping for relief. The salesladies felt sorry for me and found me some replacement nylons (didn't cost me too much) and let me use the changing area. I got to the interview and thought I was doomed--I was wearing a bright yellow sweater and skirt (hey, it WAS the late 1980s) and all the other interviewees were in suits. All that and a group interview-ack! Substance prevailed over style that day. I had experience as a lab assistant and the others were about to graduate from college. I got the job.
