My best boots - ankle length, leather, burgundy wine colour, and other colours and fabrics. Real leather? Genuine leather? Post 567.

Wine leather. My favourite boots. Soft and supple. Look smart. Better than boring boots. Good roomy wide toe.

My boots - I wear them every day. They cost about twenty five or thirty five pounds in the sale. They were the cheapest of many attractive styles. 

From ebay, like mine, says synthetic. Named moccasin. Shown in yellow but only available in three colours. 45 pounds sterling to buy.

I hunted everywhere on the internet with all sorts of word searches without luck. I did a reverse image search.

I found these.




Yellow with green. Side zip. 41.50 pounds sterling, but briefly in Dec 22 2022 reduced to 37.50 with code FUN10, and free postage.

On ebay from seller twinkle168

I am 'watching' on the ebay website so they should send me updates on sales or price reductions.

Wine  Leather

Check the seller's latest spec (specification or description) before buying.

I also found silver leather look ankle boots

Types of leather
Leather is from animal skin, the thickest and strongest from cows, but also sheepskin, calfskin, pigskin, goatskin, snake, crocodile
Top grain - sanded to remove imperfections, looks great, but not as durable
Bonded leather - bits stuck together

Patent leather
Shiny surface like vanish. In my experience, looks great when new but on shoes liable to crease and finally crack

Genuine leather tells you nothing except that it real leather, nothing about the quality, so it is the most basic and could be from any animal.

Synthetics
Yes, some people don't mind synthetic instead of leather. Some people actually prefer synthetics. A synthetic boot is better for you if you are vegan and want to avoid leather

PU leather
Synthetic, polyurethane
faux leather (faux is French for false)

Genuine pu leather (who are they kidding! It's PU, not genuine leather.)

Useful Websites

A company which produces leather wallets gives useful information. More from their website is in my Pinterest page labelled dress of the day. Pinterest automatically links from the picture back to their website. No need for me to hunt for the attribution.

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 Marks & Spencer & More, post 345

Image
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. Useful search words (alphabetically):  A-D absorbent, absorbency adult diapers briefs,  cloth menstrual pads diapers E-K full briefs,  heavy absorbency,  heavy flow,  i...
