The Numbering of Dress of the Day and Posts. This is post 385b.

 I started numbering my dress of the day when I found I was listing two posts of the same colour. Blue dress of the day. But if I numbered the second blue dress as blue dress 2 and the second red dress as red dress 2 I would have all the outfits out of sequence.

 The simplest system was to number each post in sequence. However, I did not necessarily have an entire outfit for every post. This numbering sequence would be useful to find out how many posts I had written. 

Comic Poems Numbering

(I do this in my comic poems to find out the number of poems so I can see how many readers per post, and are the numbers of posts matching one a day. 

But I try to add a poem any time I write a generic post such as how to write a poem for a Xmas card.)

In the dress of the day, I do not want to give the misleading impression that I had 400 outfits when I had only 300. I need to know how many outfits I have because that is a question which readers ask. 

The statistics compiled by the website show me the number of posts altogether, and the number of readers per month and year and all time.

In Dress of the Day might show one post on the entire outfit. The next post might amplify information, current suppliers of red evening shoes, the history of the company which makes the dress. So instead of calling that dress 3, I would call it post 2b or 3b, depending on where it is. Look for dress of the day 2 and you might find a post 2b, or even 3b, amplifying information about the dress of the day with that number.

How to repair a torn Mark & Spencer slip and make the hem wider, Post 294

Image
What is this? My repair.  I have a lovely shiny, smart black slip, from Marks & Spencers. It has a slit with pretty lace edging.  But it is slightly tight. It tore from the top of the slit, diagonally.  I looked for another slip. The ones I found onlin were twice the price and not in a satiny fabric. I wore it torn. I repaired it several times. It tore again.  I gave up. I wore it torn. Nobody sees. My husband saw. He complained. What could I do? It is useless to keep stitching it. It just tears again. I needed a new solution. I thought of adding a godet, a triangle of black fabric. I did not have anything to match. tht doesn't matter a godet is often a contrasting material. But that's when you have several godets and they look deliberate. I hunted in my sewing box. Boxes. All I had was teeny scraps of cloth in unsuitable fabrics. And ribbons. I thought about what I could do with the ribbons. They were not wide enough. But I could sew one each side of the slit. that would m

What to wear for a funeral? A black funeral coat from Marks & Spencers Outfit 291

Angela Lansbury, wearing black for the funeral and funeral tea for Stephen Kennard. Photo by Angela Lansbury. This week I went to a funeral. I wore black.  Everybody else wore all black. The invitation said nothing about the dress code.  I know lots of funerals nowadays people were mixed colours. Some specify wearing jolly colours. My friend at the funeral told me, "Always wer black. Unles it specifies otherwise, the rule is, wear black." I had my usual blue anorak with the hood with me. I left it in the car. In the boot of the car, in case anybody broke into the car hoping to find money in the pockets or because they wanted a coat to wear or sell. The safest thing is to leave a completely empty car. At least everything in the boot so the car looks empty. I could have kept the blue anorak in my black tote bag. As soon as we drove into the chapel driveway, I looked at the other guests and their clothes. I saw all black. Off came my blue anorak. Thank goodness I had a black coa
