Bargain Basement Angelic Dress 607

I like to describe myself as Angelic Angela. I think it helps people to remember my name. I saw the word Angelic above a rack of clothes and had to stop. The clothes included some at bargain prices. A rack of clothes at prices from 5 Singapore dollars ninety cents in the basement of Singapore's Bupit Panjang Plaza shopping mall atrium, near the MRT railway station, at the end of the line. 

The bargain rack had four prices. The lowest was angelic at $5.90. That was the price in my mind.

The next price was Blossom at $9.90. The third was C at $14.90.  The next was Divine at 19.90,  Only when I got home and looked at the photo did I realise that the letter were in alphabetic order. A angelic, B blossom, c , D divine.


Noona clothes racks. The clothes are not arranged by price. The price is on the ticket, as explained in a card above the rack. Photo by Angela Lansbury.

This is the dress I bought, at $5.90 - Singapore dollars. Photo by Trevor Sharot.

The garments were not sorted into different rails by price. The prices were mixed up on the rails. I wanted a dress. It is easier to wear one dress than to keep stressing yourself out fining tops which match bottoms. A dress at a lower price is more of a bargain than a t-shirt or top. First because you are getting more fabric. Secondly because you have a whole outfit, not just half.

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
