Dress 175 Red Heavy Comfy Cotton Skirt Suit with Elephant Decoration and China Elephant Prop.
Secrets Of The Red Skirt
The red skirt has a red drawstring waist. Elastic is at the back of the waist.
The side slits, as you can see, enable me to move my legs to climb steps. The gap is filled by my full length black slip from Marks & Spencer.
The skirt has two large side pockets.
The Red Sleeveless Top with Metal Elephant Embellishments
I love the elephants.
The Blue Short-Sleeved 'Silk' top
The blue short-sleeved top is from Patra of London, England. I think of it as a silk top. The top is not actually one hundred per cent silk but 55% silk and 45% cotton. I have several of these in assorted colours. They feel soft. I prefer the ones in deeper colours.Adjustable SandalsThe red sandals have three adjustable straps. They are Free-Step by Grosby, size 5. Adjustable straps are useful when travelling if you have to remove shoes and replace them at security. On the plane your feet often swell up.In tropical countries, when you move from the heat outside to the air-conditioned indoors your feet and ankles are likely to chance shape.
The China Elephants - Singapore
The China elephant in Singapore was bought from a China supplier who had a field filled with hundreds of them at assorted prices.
In the UK every now and then the China Elephants appear in home and DIY stores. I bought from Homebase in Harrow and Wealdstone. The china elephants appeared two or three years running at sale time.
Charms To Buy
I am still hunting for the sew-on metal elephants. I looked on amazon and ebay and etsy. I found gold-plated charms. I saw one set of 60 or more charms offering several designs which could be used as a group to decorate a top or skirt or dress or handbag:
Hears - Several different designs of hearts
Cats - seven back view cats
Food - apple, grapes, cherry, strawberry, carrot
Religious Symbols - one six point star of David and one cross
Animals and water life - 2 seahorses, 2 swans, 1 flamingo.
