Inexpensive navy blue fitted bodice dress - a success Post 349

 The brand name is Moyabo. I found it when I did a search for dress with two pockets.

It doesn't look that special but it has four or five features which make it a must wear everyday dress.
1 Inexpensive to buy.
2 Two pockets. At the waist.
3 Soft and comfortable to wear. Lightweight and stretchy.

I did a search for the label to see whether I could find more about the company and maybe find co-ordinating clothes or similar styles. My search took me straight back to the original listing.

The dress was offered twice at different prices. But the cheaper price added extra for postage, and the dearer price had postage included.
My first thought was maybe a con trick.
 My second thought was maybe they were doing test marketing. 
My third thought was, it's to attract both of two kinds of searches, those wanting cheaper prices and those specifying postage included. 
My fourth thought was maybe they tried it one way and changed their mind. 
My fifth thought was it's to double the number of listings to maximize either publicity or market share or position in listings. 
My sixth thought was they realized they pay tax on earnings but not on money taken for postage. 
My 7th thought was stop worrying about this
You were happy with your price and purchase.

I wore this dress three days running. It was so comfortable for travelling. Quick and easy to pull on over your head when racing to breakfast or for transport.

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

  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 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.

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.
