The Magic Skirt

Posted by admin
November 23rd, 2009

There was once a lady, sober in mind and sedate in manner, whose plain dress exactly represented her desire to be inconspicuous, to do good, to improve every day of her life in actions that should benefit her kind. She was a serious person, and she had a distaste for the gay society which was mainly a flutter of ribbons and talk and pretty faces; and when she meditated, as she did in her spare moments, her heart was sore over the frivolity of life and the emptiness of fashion. She longed to make the world better, and without any priggishness she set it an example of simplicity and sobriety, of cheerful acquiescence in plainness and inconspicuousness.

Definition of Skirt

Posted by admin
October 16th, 2009

A skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped garment that hangs from the waist and covers all or part of the legs.

In European culture,skirts are usually considered women’s clothing. However, there are exceptions. The kilt is a traditional men’s garment in Scotland, and some fashion designers, such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, have shown men’s skirts.

At its simplest, a skirt can be a draped garment made out of a single piece of material (such as pareos), but most skirts are fitted to the body at the waist and fuller below, with the fullness introduced by means of dart, gores, pleats, or panels. Modern skirts are usually made of light to mid-weight fabrics, such as denim, jersey, worsted, or poplin. Skirts of thin or clingy fabrics are often worn with slips to make the material of the skirt drape better and for modesty.

The hemline of skirts can be as high as the upper thigh or as low as the ground, depending on the whims of fashion and the modesty or personal taste of the wearer.

Some medieval upper-class women wore skirts over 3 metres in diameter at the bottom. At the other extreme, the miniskirts of the 1960s were minimal garments that may have barely covered the underwear when seated.

Costume historians typically use the word “petticoat” to describe skirt-like garments of the 18th century or earlier.

September 19th, 2009

Many women dream of fitting into that sexy mini skirt or mini dress and having guys gawk over them. Other women dream of just getting a compliment that they look great in that mini skirt. Whatever your dreams or desires may be this little tip could be the deciding difference between mini skirt success or mini skirt failure. Don’t let these sometimes hidden and subconscious calories ruin your mini skirt dreams. This mini skirt weight loss tip is easy to follow and can make a world of difference with your weight loss.

Avoid soft drinks, juices and other drinks loaded with sugar. Drinks of this type are very high in calories. A twelve ounce soda can contain 150 calories of almost all sugar. Now you may be saying to yourself I drink diet soft drinks. It isn’t just soft drinks that lead to extra calories. Juices, fancy coffees, ice teas, lemonades, etc can all lead to hidden calories that are just sugar. A standard serving size of orange juice is 4 ounces. That is only half a cup of juice. Most people’s glasses are 12-16 ounce glasses and they fill them up. This could mean an extra 250 calories to your daily calorie intake just from one drink. This will sabotage your sexy little mini skirt plans in a hurry. Look at your other beverages and think outside soft drink realm for beverages that you may be drinking that contain hidden calories that are sabotaging your mini skirt goals.

August 18th, 2009

Many women choose to sew their own poodle skirt outfits. For those of us without the time or inclination to find a pattern, buy material, and do the hard labor ourselves, we can, of course, purchase ready-made, sized-to-fit poodle skirts and entire poodle skirt outfits and have them shipped to us in no time.

But how does a fifties fan go about finding places that sell such clothing? Online is the natural place to start. There are hundreds of web sites that specialize in fifties clothes. Clearly, you don’t want to spend more than you have to, but you also don’t want to end up with poor-quality items that break or wear out too soon. Most skirts have elastic waistbands, but very few incorporate a drawstring that you can tie to ensure all that heavy felt doesn’t cause an embarrasing “wardrobe malfunction.” Many shops will ship the clothing for free, which of course is desirable.

But isn’t it risky to order a poodle skirt from the Internet? It certainly can be. You’ll reduce your chances of regret if you look for a company that has been selling 50’s clothes for many years. Pay attention to any return policies in case you’re not satisfied. If you do your homework, there’s no reason you can’t be as pleased as the following real customers who ordered from a Hip Hop 50s Shop online store.
