although i want the red one:





of course, the problem is that these kind of things look good even when one is oversized....

i used to be punk back in the days of REAL punks - not "skinheads". "skinheads" were basically the boot-stomp targets of "real" punks. a "real" punk didn't have to shave the head or wear pseudo-military or anything - a real punk wore whatever the heck they wanted, secure in the knowledge that they could.

me, i used to wear a really classy, corporate-type dress (which looks best on me, instead of the unfitted, loose structure type stuff) but with shredded pantyhose, big black high-heeled boots with lots of straps and buckles, and my hair and makeup completely "out there". another outfits i really liked was a "merrie olde englande bar wench" type getup - white puffy blouse with layers of lace on the sleeves, tight corset, but with laddered jeans instead of a skirt.

these days, looks like it's called steampunk - which i *adore*.

"dress your age" - make me! lol

Dude... that's a fabulous dress.

almost that far back, but not quite, lol - this was mid-70s in toronto.

these days, "punk" and "skinhead" are synonymous. they emphatically weren't back then - punks wouldn't have been caught dead with neo-****s (okay, that's a wierd word to get blotted out)

Where are you going to wear this dress ?

I love it! Though I confess I didn't wait for weightloss to wear skirts, corsets, and the like, they look better every pound I go down. I love it in red, in particular. When you get to yor goal and buy that dress I simply must see pictures!

where would i wear it? grocery shopping, of course!

with boots like these:



(cause i doubt i'll ever be able to wear high heels again)

a jacket like this:



and naturally a hat and gloves:







(hey, *somebody's* gotta liven up the joint around here!)
