It’s time to feel free again! Forget about those constricting pencil skirts, and add a soft volume to your wardrobe with this spring’s huge trend - the full skirt.
What, is this 1940 again?
Incidentally, full skirts are very feminine and oh, what a contrast to the Skankwear that is in fashion.
Some of the teenagers in our church are wearing skirts like that this spring. It looks very pretty. And it’s classy, if they’re not practically topless :-).
My personal style is not as pouffy!
I think I’ll wait until they show up at Kohl’s or ...
Makes me look short...And I remember those old scratchy crinolins....yuk!! I’m slim and trim...and like the tall, slim look...Models are so darn tall, it doesn’t do harm.
Fashion baffles me.
Humans need to wear clothes because most of us don’t look that great naked and we need some protection against the elements for our own comfort.
This is GREAT! Where can I get skirts like this?
I’m a farmer and I don’t like to wear slacks; those skirts look so light and cool for the summer, driving the tractor and worming the animals.
Great to know that in my barn, I am so fashion-forward!
I like reading your great posts on IBC too Mister Ghost!
Just wear a light t-shirt thingy under the dress top and it’s perfect!
yes! Yes! YES!
I have an hour-glass shape with all the sand at the bottom — finally a style I can wear (again)
My butt is already too big...don’t need a skirt to help it look bigger. LOL
Those only look good on very thin women.
Yes, I often convert dresses to jumpers like that. Still not my favorite style of skirt, but one of our choir girls was wearing a skirt like that this morning, with a more substantial top, and she looked very nice.
I’m 5’5 at 105 ...I wear uniforms at work and slacks or jeans for play ... had dresses when I was a kid but not skirt and blouse ... I have a business suit but to me that doesn’t count ....
LOL. And they look great with galoshes for cleaning out the pig pen.
I love when women wear skirts, it is one of the pleasures in life.
I can’t help ya. I have good legs and like to show ‘em.
Lord above, I LOVE Kohl’s. Especially the 70% off rack.
I wish. Women were HOT, then. I love the 40’s styles and I was born in ‘66.
Vogue Vintage Patterns:
Here in Seattle we have Nordstrom ... a great place to shop and they have a “Rack” with great stuff .....inexpensive and top quality .... but it’s either too small or too large ...
I like to shop at Ann Taylor and their sale rack always has that problem. The sales staff says the size 10 and 12 stuff sells fastest, so I asked them why they don't get more of those sizes and fewer size 2 or 16 stuff. They told me they have no control over what stock they get; corporate just sends it.
(Tax-chick has already joined the thread.)
Cheers!
Hence the sale “on selected items” since everything is either too small or too large ....
I love the poofy skirts! All things girly. Of course, jeans and flip flops are equally as pleasing - just depends on the mood and occasion. Definitely a fan of fashion ...
Hooray. Pencil skirts are definitely not designed for us big girls.
I’ve been wearing a short-leeve flowered cotton shift after surgery (kind of full over my middle) and noticed how nice and airish it makes my legs and nether parts feel.
A definite plus in a Tennessee summer!
I wore big, loose dresses when we lived in Tennessee. It was so humid there! And I was pregnant.
hmm....would probably look good on my daughter.
A little too puffy for my taste.
I like a-line - but not that puffy.
