Dress Codes In Clubs And What To Wear For Sport, Outdoor Sports bars at the Tanglin Club, and at night

 Ah - dress codes. If you are wearing shorts after sports, a suitable place to stop for a cold drink is the outdoors Sports bar on the ground floor of the Tanglin Club sports centre. Across the road from the main house with the fancy restaurants with their dress codes.

I have been going to the Tanglin for ages and never knew about this Sports bar. I knew about the upstairs indoor eating area. But not the outdoors one.

Just the place if you are a Singaporean used to tropical weather, or an Ozzzie who likes the outdoors and informal, casual clothing. Or a Brit who likes escaping from winter weather in the UK with year round summer clothing and outdoor dining and drinking.

I see tables and dining chairs, high tables and bar stools with backs, a canopy, and green parasols and greenery.

The Balut group's section of the club website refers to The Fireplace and The Wet Bar.

Over the road on the lower ground floor, is another restaurant, a poolside restaurant, The Wheelhouse, reminiscent of a ship's wheel, with a relaxed dress code. Families with children are welcome.

Upstairs, on the ground floor, is the Tavern, which has an old English pub theme, no children are allowed because of the bar's licensing laws.  You will find a more restrictive dress code. Clearly displayed at the entrance. One person's restriction is another person\s freedom. You are free from torn and stained clothing.

For more formality, birthdays and anniversaries, The Churchill Room restaurant, with its white tablecloths, and domes over the main course, is more suited to formal clothes.

For the ultimate in privacy, upstairs is the Chinese Restaurant, which has private rooms behind sliding doors.

You can arrive and divest yourself of your jacket, wearing whatever you like underneath, hidden from view.

Expect a cloth napkin with a button hole so you can attach it to your top shirt or blouse button in The Tavern, Tang Yun Chinese restaurant and the Churchill Room restaurant.

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
