Hee! I want to put you in 50s dresses with full skirts and petticoats. Don't ask me why, but that's what the you that lives in my head is always wearing.
I ADORE that look. Seriously. I would wear them all the time if I had them.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Have no time until... mid-October. Grump.
Time or money? Cause I missed the thrifting expedition in May, and, as far as I know, the Saturday I'm up there is clear.
Unless that was when we were planning to go make out with Chris Isaak, which hey, I'm still up for.
(TWO WEEKS!! bounce bounce bounce)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Netnanny is blocking the pic--can I get a description of your lovely, Jilli?
Today I'm dressed in clothes that are "me." But I do need to get a longer crinoline to wear with this lovely pink shirtwaist dress with a lace front. The crinoline I have only works for my other shirtwaist dresses.
It's weird--I can put together more than one work week of vintage, between 50s and 60s. I never would have guessed.
And then there's my perkygoth outfit, finished up by the masterful Jilli with stripey tights. Boy, does it ever make people stare at my knees.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Unless that was when we were planning to go make out with Chris Isaak,
TOTALLY this. :)
Seriously, money's factor, but I'm also figuring that you'll want to wander the Wharf and Chinatown instead of musty thrift shops in the Mission and the Haight.

The Wharf, yes. Chinatown I saw and, well, I've never been so claustrophobic in my life. :) What's that park across the street from the Full House house thingies?

(I saved the picture to my LJ scrapbook.)
The dress the usual sort of JilliDress (fitted through the torso, full knee-length skirt with ruffles), but is short-sleeved, and has a high collar and lace "bib" effect, in white, while the body of the dress is black.

Alamo Square, I think.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
in about three weeks, this should be turning up. Custom-made to my measurements, no less.
