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. t...

Blue H & M Dress, dress of the day 393

Image
  Angela Lansbury wearing a blue background dress from H &M. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The Blue H & M Dress Blue background dress has a white pattern. Blues are hard to match. But I had a white blouse, so I wore this. On the internet and on Facebook you can see lots of videos of how to tie a scarf, but mine is simply hanging, which partly obscures the cleavage.  Cleavage cover I had a choice. To insert a dickey or false front, also called a removable or detachable collar. I have one or two which are plain white.  The alternative which saves hunting for a matching dickey without distracting collar colours and embrodiery, is simply to add a fastening. I decided that a snap or press stud fastener in small size is qhich to fasten and unlikely to pull apart (as opposed to hook and eye. I like velcro but it can scratch your skin, so the press stud was the right andwer. You have to get the two sides exactly measured up from the point of the V neck otherwide you end up with...

Period pants from Savida. Pants, UK. In the USA they would be called underpants. They come in two colours, black or dark blue with a mottled effect. They are triple layer. Could be useful for hiking and travelling. Or when you have a cough.  A pack of three full briefs for fifteen pounds. I then googled period pants and found lots of results.  Marks Marks & Spencer do a pack of three containing three different colours, black, white and pink, for sixteen pounds.  They also do different absorbencies. The options range though light, heavy, and extra heavy. And more styles, such as pantaloon style, like short tight shorts coming half way down your thighs.
