Folding Umbrellas
This umbrella is orange and silver, folding, from Guardian drug store.
Other handy sources in rainy, tropical Singapore are 
1 The other drug stores, 
2 also Seven Eleven which is inside many approaches to the underground MRT stations, and 
3 Department stores such as Tangs which is on the corner of Orchard Road.

The Marks and Spencer night dress fills in the neck and provides a contrast hem. The fabric is cotton which is cool.

Red Quick Release Sandals
My trusty red sandals, as in previous posts. Free-Step. Quick release.

Props
Soft toy duck, label Dakin. The duck has a smaller duck on its back. The beak and feet are orange. 

Nigh Dress and Outfit Style
If you hold your finger over the hem of the night dress you will see the effect without it. The entirely plain coral colour, all the way up and down, from ankles to neck, makes me look taller. However, it's a bit boring. I think the addition of the contrast pattern is effective, adds interest.

Night dress suppliers
Shein has a huge number of night clothes at a range of prices, and fabrics and styles. If you want heart patterns on pyjamas, they have them in February 2023. To get cotton, and the style you want, you might do what I did eventually, specify cotton and price low to high.
Coral midi sleep shirt from Shein in polyester with spandex, for only 12 sing dollars plus about 3 dollars postage to Singapore. Many more similar for 9 to 12 dollars. handy for holidays.

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
