'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Even if the bottom is lace, it could be removed, the slip shortened and the lace put back on.
At which point I'll have to go to a seamstress, so I'm thinking I'll just go to a seamstress and ask her where one buys slips. I mean, she should know, right?
ita, how about something like this? [link]
or this-- [link]
There are a bunch at Nordstrom, look for "chemise". Also, look in more old school stores, like saks or Lord and Taylor.
Chemises are too short. I'm looking for a straight up old school full slip. I asked at Nordies, and they told me they didn't carry them.
ah, I see. did you look at the second link? it looked much more like a traditional slip.

Give or take a few inches, yeah.
I'm just terribly anal. I want that thing like my mother used to wear when I was little. I figure the seamstress that I'm seeking out (hopefully I'll have the time next weekend) will be able to help me. I had no idea they'd disappeared off the map so cleanly. But the old ladies shop somewhere (that's not Nordstrom or Sears or Ross or Marshall) and I will find them.

That's crazy! Have you tried Victoria's Secret: [link]
ita, looks like the old ladies may shop at JC Penney: [link]
The Victoria's Secret ones are all short.
And ChiKat has the inside track on the aged woman! Looks like there's a JC Penney not too far from me. I'll try that on the weekend. Thanks.
Man, I hope I'm not allergic to this mistake lipstick. I can already tell the scent will be a problem when I'm having a migraine, but hopefully it won't be a trigger in and of itself. It's a weird rust colour that is making my lips look more like the colour they normally are, plus shine.
Of course, now I remember I have to sniff lipstick before buying them too. I've been lucky--it's at least two years since the mint-Aveda-lipgloss fiasco.
And now, with fashion disasters in hand, I off to work.
Tommyrot, Venture Brothers just made me laugh out loud as Dr. Venture talked about "the LiveJournal" and his "prison sculpted abs" and "teh Sex."
Oh my god -- the whole episode was hilarious, but, in particular, "the LiveJournal" and "teh Sex" had me doing the loud embarassing donkey laugh.
Also, I love Phantom Limb. LOVE.
