i<3LSOP Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 [quote name='Papist' timestamp='1328108019' post='2378912'] It was a friend of hers that she got the idea from. The above picture is not the one she made. I got it on the internet just for an example. My wife picked a better fabric that this example. There are sites with instructions on how to do this. The problem is that most are instructions to make a mini-skirts b/c these days a skirt is de facto mini-skirt. [/quote] I know! I can not stand mini skirts! They are so immodest and that is what girls/ladies consider to be skirts nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go into Walmart and Target and see little mini-skirts for toddlers and preschoolers. No wonder little girls become tarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hermanita Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I usually wear skirts and dresses. When I wear "trousers" they are accompanied by a tunic-like top. Muslim modesty sites have some lovely things but they are pricey . Also in the winter, ski underwear, tights and/or leggings keep me warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarysLittleFlower Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 I agree that it's so difficult to find modest skirts. I've found some but you really have to look around, maybe in second hand stores. Sewing is very useful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never go sleeveless. When I was in college the nuns instilled in us that sleeveless was immodest and that we should always cover our shoulders and I have never abandoned this, though it certainly is no longer cultural. These same nuns said the same about jeans/pantaloons or 'trousers'. I started to wear same in my mid twenties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbTherese Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I have a black, a brown and a moroon long and three quarter length skirts for "best". Blouses to tone in. Also a good pair of black slacks or pantaloons, trousers. We call them slacks in Australia. I recently purchased in a Red Cross Second Hand clothing shop a brand new "Maggie" brand linen shirt/tunic in a lovely muted pink. It cost me $9. When I checked out the cost on the net, since mine was new, the price tag was $196!!!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immanuel Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 [quote name='TheresaThoma' timestamp='1327895047' post='2377406'] I wear long skirts over long underwear and I have found I actually stay warmer than with just pantaloons.

Once I found them, I grabbed one in each color-- tan, brown, cranberry and dark green. I love them. Sooooo comfy, and warm. My denim skirts do, too. I hardly ever wear my skirts that don't have pockets. I love pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresaThoma Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 So as far as the pocket issue, I have decided that I am just going to make a couple of my own skirts. (Yay for being able to sew!)
