Yeah, but at least you can have it trimmed. I can't make up material out of thin air!

[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.

Whereas I looked at it and said "Huh. Very pretty, except it looks like the pleats are stitched down too far for me to fit a petticoat (or three) under it. Oh well."
ION, holy crap, it's cold outside! We hiked up to a local cafe for lunch, and then went to the grocery store for some supplies. My ears are still numb. However, ankle-length skirts petticoats, and wool tights kept my legs warm.

You can get a tailor to add a wide band (or ruffle) of lace to the hem. 5" wide lace is easy to find on eBay ...

The status is NOT quo.

That particular one could be professionally altered, I suppose, but angled pleats are way too complicated for my feeble sewing skills. And actually, most of the things I want to buy that are too long for me can't be altered because they are not just too long on my legs, but also on my waist and hips. Most irking.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
38" long skirts hit me right at my ankle, provided that they are fitted to the waist. However, since I have the Short Waist O' Dooooooooom, fitted waists tend to be very uncomfortable. (Seriously, the jacket I lent Jilli goes to mid-hip. It's insane. No off-the-rack bustiers for me!)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's almost like juliana and I are the same person.

Heh.
Yes, cold outside. High of 33 today. Low of 18. This + ice + hills = bloody tricky travelling.
