Dress Of The Day with Angela

 I was looking for something summery and light to wear when giving a speech to Harrovians Speakers Club in London. Not red - too hot. Warm orange.  My basic piece was my colourful skirt. I love the colours, the flowiness, the feeling of luxury. The Silk Skirt, Multi-colour Light weight. Pure silk. Label Patra. UK. Half length black underskirt.  Patra Skirt Style Cut diagonally in forward slash and backlash in several pieces. Blows upwards in the wind Patra Skirt Pattern Black background. Large  sand smaller white moon shapes  on a stalk with a leaf.  Small disc shapes like baĺloons on teeny curved green stalks. Some are dark orange. . The others are pale salmon pink. In electric light at night indoors they look yellow. The Silk Mix Orange Top From Patra Also from Patra. Lace up centre front. 8 loops. Size large. 55 % silk, 45% cotton.  A bit too casual for the skirt. But the colour matches. I had lots of tops with patterns which clashed with the patter...

 Small Size - Suppositions I have a size small red velvet Indigo Moon Jacket which I wear nearly every day. I love it.  The sleeves are slightly tight, will not go over anything thick underneath, but okay with a blouse. What about the XS offered? Would it be wearable? Size Success Angela Lansbury wearing XS jacket, label Indigo Moon. I ordered an Indigo Moon jacket in a pinky colour, size XS. I thought it might be too tight to wear. So I would have to slit the side seams, maybe insert a ribbon, or two widths of wide ribbon to hold it in place. That was not the problem. Summer Weight The jacket is summer weight, very light, unlined. I knew the garment was light before I opened the light package. It came packed in a folded black bin liner, taped up with wide sticky back tape, with its own transparent plastic bag underneath. It survived the rain. Did not go through the letterbox but sat on the doorstep, found when I opened the front door. The fabric is thin, flimsy and unsuitable...

  I bought this Indigo Moon tee shirt on ebay. The Ebay website has loads of Indigo Moon items. I love the bright colours, the sparkly sequins, shiny fabric pieces appliqued on, the teeny tubular beads,, the big , bold lozense shaped beans. The patterns are great. Swirls and curls. Leaves and petals. This one has a butterfly in the middle. It has short sleeves. It was sold as part of a two piece set, with an orange jacket. As the tee-shirt was not photographed separately, I was suspected it was not a matching colour. I was afriad it might just be an odd tee shirt of another brand, but was pleased that it was indeed Indigo Moon.
