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. 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...
