Dress Of The Day with Angela

White cap with sewn on straps. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Why did my cap need straps?  1 It kept falling off. When I looked down. Or when the wind blew. I worried about losing it, leaving it behind on a train. 2 It twisted sideways, looking odd in photos. What should I add? White ribbons? No. They would get dirty quickly, with all the handling.  I sewed pink straps on this white cap. What kind of straps could I add. I hunted in my stache of ribbons. I found what I wanted. The pink in the straps echoed the pink motif. The pink ribbon fabric is matt, matching the hat fabric's look.  The pink ribbon is narrow. But wide enough.  White cap with added red bow. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. The White Cap From Daiso I added wide black ribbon straps to a white cap. The black ribbon is wide. The White Cap (Baseball cap style) The white cap is from Daiso in Singapore. The Japanese chain. One of my favourite cut price chains. Light weight cap, easy to stow in a pocket. But...

  Angela Lansbury wearing a lilac colour towelling robe. Dress of the day 222. Photo by Trevor Sharot. This towelling dress is light, soft and comfortable. I highly recommend it. The edging is a diagonally stripped or indented or spiralled white strip. You know it is a sewn on strip because a small section of it is used to make a bow on the single pocket. I hunted online to see which colour it came in. I saw that this design came with a single pocket. Mine did not seem to have a pocket. I felt down it to see if there was one inside. Sure enough there was. With a bow. I was wearing my robe inside out! If you want to hide the pocket you can wear it inside out.  It does up with two heavy-duty, large white poppers.

Useful Websites Lazada has numerous styles at prices around ten dollars, in several colours. Websites in Chinese for QZYAM include my lilac colour, pink, red. ...

I bought this top on Ebay. I love the pink colour. Perfect pink. Pink goes wonderfully well with white, summer white, clean innocent white. Light-hearted white and pink. Images of candyfloss. (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...
