Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Temu Ladies Clothes Sets I spent hours looking at different sets, styles, colours. For my summer holiday, holidays, this year, next year, forever. What I was originally looking for was this, a long dress with a long matching coat, to make me look co-ordinated, elegant. And taller. Jacket Length Thickness and Weight I knew from previous experience that short jackets would be matching fabric to the dress. The long jackets, however were not even as thick as duster coats, but an ultra-thin, almost see-through fabric. Never mind. The sleeves are too long. That leaves me with several options. The simplest and quickest is to turn them back into a cuff. I like the jacket left open. It shows the lively pattern of the dress. The Dress Style - Spaghetti Straps I had not wanted spaghetti straps. You need something to hold bra straps out of the way, or a co-ordinating vest. The straps slip off. You expose too much around the arm pits for elegance, showing bits of bras, or breasts. No protecti...

  I had been hunting for 'dress and jacket', and 'two piece'. This popped up.  Handy for summer, although I would have liked a longer sleeve. However, the price was tempting, only seven pounds plus 2.90 second class royal mail, not tracked. I paid on Dec 5 late afternoon and it arrived on the afternoon of Dec 10th.  Size and Fit It is large size, so the shoulders and upper arms are big enough. However, it was a bit tight  and therefore reevaling over my tummy - which was showing the effect of too many pre-Christmas parties. I thought a scarf added might help hide bulges. I tried tying that around the waist.  However, it seemed a distraction. I later removed the scarf for a family fashion show.  Verdict My husband did not comment on the cut or fit. He said he liked the colour. Success! Photo Editing Tips As in previous photos, I have cut out the kitchen clutter by editing on my Samsung mobile phone, using the lassoo to separate myself from the background. It...

  An Anthony Sicari outfit, black and white dress and jacket. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The Dress and Jacket Dress with pleated skirt. Size 14.  Jacket with knitted cuffs. Swamps me now I have lost weight.  The buttons are large white pearly discs with four holes You can undo the two buttons on the edge but the other two are sewn on. It is a pull over your head jacket because the dropped waistline knitted band has no opening. The cuffs and waistband are a little bit stretchy. What looks like a horizontally striped false front is the top half of the sleeveless underdress. The breast pocket is yet another illusion, designed to make the item look smart. The cuff of the pocket is sewn on and the triangle of the handkerchief goes down only as far as the cuff of the non-existent pocket. Sewn in place. If you ever have a tiny scrap of material left over and are wondering what to do with it, you can make a false pocket and a false handkerchief apparently peeping out. A black and wh...
