To answer yesterday’s question? It’s post like this one and the previous one (I’m still chuckling over “before I shaved above the knees”) is why y’all top my bookmarks.
You’ll have my handkerchief hem when you drag it off my cold dead carcass.
I love a handkerchief hem because one aspects of my current body type is that when I try on most straight-hem skirts or dresses, the back part of the skirt is about an inch or two higher than the front. I think it looks terrible, so I never buy a dress that does that. However, I find that a handkerchief hem often alleviates that effect. I have about two or three skirts with a handkerchief hem, and I love the way they look on me.

Ewww, that dress is terribly reminiscent of Ursula from “Little Mermaid”. Although Divine could make that look work!

It just screams “Help! I’m being attacked by a lion who hates fashion!”

Actually the dress evokes another big girl on the silver screen: Ursula in the Little Mermaid …

HAHahahHAH – I had to stifle a laugh big time on that one to not be found perusing fabulous fashion blogs at work.

I’m scrolling, scrolling…and WTF? GAH! Dark blood red color plus a hem that looks like it’s been chewed up. That is one shitastic dress.

Her smile is so beautific though! She almost makes it work. I just want to get an extra-large pair of shears and snip snip snip just above the calf.
