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. 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. You can also buy leakproof swimwear with the brand name WUKA. Wikipedia has useful worldwide reviews of practices. Wiki picture.
