Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Dressing Gown With Zip Hand Sewn. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. I added a zip to a dressing gown from Debenhams. Red Wrap From New Zealand This dressing gown has the Label Intimo. From New Zealand. Maybe I bought it from a charity shop there when on holiday. It is 100 per cent polyester, so no bleach, no tumbling. This red wrap-around dressing gown had been hanging up on the back of an over the door hanger in the shower room for goodness knows how many months. Others which are similar have been unworn for years. I don't wear wrap arounds. They look pretty. Light. But impractical. Untidy. Show too much leg to strangers if I have to answer the front door to a postal delivery. Flap open and trip me up. Chilly in winter and mid season. Reduce self-respect and status because they shout, I haven't been bothered to get dressed. Lop-sided. Lose the belt.  What a shame that lovely silky satin fabric garment did not come with a zip. But what if I decide to add a x#zip. I looked...

  Season Xmas jumper with santa, snowmen and trees. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Her sister bought it for her this eye-catching seasonal jumper one Xmas. It comes out every year. The pattern is green trees, red Santa hats, white snowmen - with fluffy white. Plus the sparkles. Seasonal Knitting Pattern Ideas If you are a knitter, or have a knitting machine, or a friend who knits, you could copy the idea of a row of green trees, or a row of white snowmen, or a row or red Santa hats, on a neutral colour background. Or just one big tree, or three in a row, or a triangle of three trees. They could be small like on this jumper, or one large one. or one left and one right, or three in a horizontal or vertical line. Sequins and Braids Add some rows of sequins. I find sequins fiddly and tedious to sew on. You could buy a braid of sequins.  Sew horizontal lines, or a frame for your design, oblong or oval, or heart shape. Add Pearl buttons or Brooches Another idea is to add pearl buttons, f...

  Red Anthony Sicari top and scarf with white blouse. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Red Anthony Sicari top and scarf with white blouse. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Anthony Sicari Red Suit Outfit Worn In Winter I added a thick skirt for warmth when travelling in the British winter.  only when I did a search for a picture of the outfit on this blog did I discover that the outfit came with a thin pleated skirt, which had become detached from the top. Slips for Warmth I added a red satin half slip. It had a zip. It was converted from a pair of red satin wide leg trousers I had never worn. Jolly red. Pretty. Elegant. Then I added another slip in black. Bulky, admittedly. I was more concerned about getting cold walking to and from a station, sitting on a station platform, and walking to my destination from the central London underground train station. Blouse For Warmth The white blouse also adds another layer for warmth. They say, dress in layers. If I got too hot, I could remove one or b...

  Black Top With Roses, label Klass, worn by Monica. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. Black Top With Roses, label Klass, worn by Monica. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. Klass is sold in shops and department stores. Monica is her English name. In Greek it would Monika with a K. The Word Klass I wondered whether Klass was German for class. Klasse is German for class, meaning quality, or a school or evening class. Without the e, Klass is a German surname, or, as we say nowadays family name.   The Clothing Company Klass Their website says they are a family business with 150 stores in England and northern Ireland. Established back in 1988. How did I miss them for so long.! Anyway, I have now discovered them. They also have a collection called Anna Rose.  Reductions From Klass Clothes 1 Their website says free delivery on items over £30.  2 They currently, I am writing on Sunday December 7th 2025, have a sale on. 3 You also get a discount offer if you sign up...
