I can't wear skirts but.

I bought three anyway.

I cannot wear anything round my waist, or what passes for a waist in my case.

This is because of various medical issues.

But I saw a online vintage shop selling Indian cotton skirts, they had six, they were £10 each including postage, I ordered three.

They all have drawstring or elasticated waistbands and the three I ordered all have  dark red or petrol blue in the colour scheme. My plan is to raid the charity shops and find some tee shirts that go with the skirts. I shall then stitch the skirts to the tee shirts to turn them into dresses.

Crafty red fox, love that expression “Hoick them over your chest” 😂. It’s so nice when you find good cotton clothing. I find the older I get, the more I appreciate cotton. Most things are made from polyester which means I may as well be wearing a plastic black bin bag🙄.
Have a good week Hester xx

Twiggymoon, I find that not wearing manmade materials makes for easy shopping: I set one foot into a shop, see that they only sell plastic clothing, and am out again :)
