A dress with a pattern of shelves of books.

A pattern of books, from Popsy Clothes. 

The first thing to make yourself happy when travelling is the right clothes which make you proud of who you are and pleased about where you are going. Conversation-starting clothes can which express your interests. You can buy clothes with patterns such as: books, old fashioned phones, sewing machines, flowers and, for children, other interests such as dinosaurs 

Just the thing for a writers' conference, or book group. Blaze. Thirty nine pounds on shopify, from Popsy clothes in the UK. Two pockets and tie front.

(A jumpsuit is ankle length.)

Dresses with two pockets

Popsy Clothing in the UK makes dresses with two pockets, as you see from their garment photos on models with hands in pockets. Also other clothes, with two pockets (in a range of sizes of clothing) and bags, for women and children. 

On Facebook they welcome suggestions for new styles and patterns.

The American company, Scottevest, started by Scott Jordan and his wife, goes for pockets, many pockets, big pockets, and hidden pockets for security.

The Daisy dress, cap sleeves, above the knee, by SCOTTeVEST, has eight pockets. It costs over 100 US dollars.

1000 pocket points gives you a ten dollar discount coupon.

You could buy book pattern fabric and make your own garment, I thought. Spotlight is selling it at $30 a metre and a metre is only 3 feet, so you need to spend 60 plus postage plus the time in making. Cheaper to buy a garment readymade. If you just want a tote bag and scarf, or dickey or shawl and headband, this could be for you.

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.

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.
