I have very particular requirements for summer wear ... as in, I want loose, boxy dresses that I can put a T-shirt under (to hide the floppy arms) and call it a day. Are they stylish? Don't care.
So I ordered three off a website because I cannot find the pattern I used to make my own (could be anywhere in my storage units) and can't find anything locally (doesn't help that a lot of stores are still closed). My store has something in that line, but it's $34 ... not a lot of money but it also has a slit up both sides that goes further than my 65-year-old body would like. Yes, I could easily sew a piece of cloth in there to avoid flashing people with my pasty-white legs, but why would I pay $34 for something that I then have to "fix"? IF they go on sale and IF they still have one in my size, I will get it.
Anyway, back to my story. My parcel arrived and I was thrilled. I decided to hold off even opening them until the day of MY FIRST HAIRCUT (in a long time).
Today was that day. So first I dithered over which new mask to wear, and then went to look at the dresses.
I opened one. WTF ...
Opened a second one. Second WTF ...
I could not get either one of them on in a way that didn't expose a LOT more than a length of leg. We're talking indecent exposure charge here.
Opened the third one. It was, thank the gods, a normal dress and I slipped it over my head. I went to my hairdresser carrying one of the "WTFs" with me to see if she could figure out how to ... put a dress on.
So after my much-welcomed haircut, I brought out the WTF.
It turns out that what I bought was actually one dress ... and two "pinnies." (I think that's spelled correctly.)
Basically, I bought one dress and two wrap-around aprons.
