Reversible rings, opals or coloured stones, some set in silver Post 305



 I was first sent a video advertisment from Jewelrybyserendipity. I liked the idea of a reversible ring. thier website even showed you how to work out your ring size by winding a strip of peper around your finger, mraking the overlap point, then measuring it. They have a chart of ring sized.

I then looked online I wondered about other colours. Would the ring break. 

What about the price. And I did not want a ring which would irritate or turn my finger green, or tarnish, or have plating which flaked off leaving it shabby and catching on clothes.

I found other sites selling reverysble rings on etsy and esewhere. I also found reversible bracelets and necklaces.

When To Buy A Gift

Mother's Day has gone in the UK and so has Valentine's day. But you may have a birthday of wedding anniversary or holiday coming up. 

Gold, Silver, Plated, Or Costume Jewellery?

Frankly, I would go for sterling silver or gold.  Smarter. More durable. Have ongoing value.

Rings Or Other Things?

I tend to lose rings on holiday. I also find them a nusiance if you are swimming and washing hands and take them off at night.

Clever Clasps

 I also try to avoid T shape connectors on bracelets. They fall off constantly at home so I don't dare to wear them outside, when travelling or even in a restaurant.

For extra security, some people put a ring around their neck when travelling. You can hang a ring on a meatal chain. However, I always have concerns that one might damage the other by friction.

 I like a pendant which has a dual purpose. 

I prefer necklaces, or bracelets, to loose rings. Or a ring or necklace which doubles as a pendant or brooch. 

Travel With Reversible Items

A reversible necklace is a good idea when travelling. Less to lose. Quick to change when you are going from one place to another, or out all day. 

 If one side is dull and the other is brighter, I would wear the dull side for daytime, or under clothes, with the brighter side for evenings.

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

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.
