Back brace for round shoulders and slipped disc, outfit 452

 


I ordered a Percko garment second hand from ebay.

When It arrived I was upset. I never thought I would be able to wear it. The item looked tiny.

I looked up the manufacturers website.

What was their size?

What did other customers say?

For some reason I decided to try it on.

I pulled it down gradually. With their logo on the centre front, the neck was up , pulling against my neck. I looked at the back. It was low. I thought, that can't be right. i must have it on back to front.

Let's at least try it the other way around.

What does it do?

it does sort of strighten me up a bit.

It isn't a corset. My tummy looks large today.

How does it differ from a swimsuit? It has the built in heavy elastic strips.

What's to like?

It does the work of a bra plus vest.

What doesn't work?

The clips don't reach, meet, when you pull the garment down over your hips.

It's not ideal for the hottest day of the year. However, my legs and arms are free.My bust is not drooping forward and making me hunch.

I shall try wearing it out later. First, I shall sleep in it for half an hour. I can't be bothered to keep taking it off and on.

Frankly, it is not doing much for my round shoulders and the slipped disc in my neck, except keeping me in a kind of sauna which reminds me to sit up

Not perfect. Not expected. Not what I wanted. But at least I can wear it. Good enough.

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
