here - it's a few years old, as you can tell from the size of the child. The jacket and waistcoat are vintage (1920s or 30s)
I ran into a guy wearing a kilt one day. I told him "Gotta love a man in a kilt."
He said: "You can if you want...."
(Very nice, btw. Men should show their legs more. Generally, they're better looking than ours.)

Me too - even though I am the most short-waisted woman on the planet! I guess it's supposed to skim over the old belleh.

Called away to another place
Payday tomorrow. I will buy all of the tings.
Every dress I buy these days seems to have a stupidly high waist. I was starting to think that I must have a low waist but just hadn't noticed before.
Does anyone know if Primark or other very cheap places have faux fur jackets at the moment? I have now got loads of cocktail type frocks from charity shops and ebay but don't like going sleeveless because of the lymphoedema plus old woman wrinkly arms 
Going out at night with a cardigan over my frocks isn't the look I'm after so I reckon a light cheap fur short jacket will do the trick. I don't want one from ebay because I want to try it on first. It has to be cheap because I'm skint

I do think they make dresses short in the waist and generally too short these days, however I also think that as one's assets move downwards over the years, that can affect fit in that respect.

can't see it on their site though
Not just short in the waist, but roughly where the natural waistline is assumed to be when making clothes for small children ie. just under the lowest rib.
As for *ahem* fallen assets, well, maybe a bit, but in that case a lot of tops are obscenely low if they're even too low cut to avoid showing my bra.
Outdoor activities shop, most of their clothing will be brightly coloured, but there's still some in darker shades for wildlife stalkers and rural workers. If it's good, it's unlikely to be cheap, but you might find something in one of their sales.
