Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Angela Lansbury at the entrance door of Grisdyke Hotel, London, England. Photo by Trevor Sharot. Skirt Vintage Green suit skirt, label Ann Balon, of the UK. Warm in winter, in March in London where it is cold outdoors. The slit in the skirt is filled by a DIY black insert.  Boots Black and red leather with flower petal design. Low. Flat heel. Ankle length. Blouse White. Three jooly red embroidered lozenges on the front. I wore it because the red would cheer me up. Looking at the photo, I reckon the blouse might have looked better tucked in. But y husband was cold outdoors and impatient to leave.

The green goes well with my blonde hair. Sotthing yet lively.

(Americans call candy floss, cotton candy.) I love the style. Long sleeves. Roomy enough to be comfortable.  But it felt and looked as if it was wide, baggy over the bust. How to tighten it? I looked at the hanging ribbons. I looked in my sewing box. I had a similar thin pink ribbon. I thought, before I put the handy hanging ribbons, or  spend time sewing, I can pin on the ribbons with safety pins. i can slip the safety pins through the eyelets, without damaging the fabric. Come to think of it, I can slip the tiny ribbons through the eyelets, before doing any sewing. White Jacket  White cape blazer.  Missguided, size 8. Too small. The jacket does not meet across my chest.  I travel wearing a gilet with multiple pockets, so I have my travel card handy. The jacket reveals a...
