Oh ! I never saw Maria's reply ... only 2 years later do I find it !
I like that idea about the pockets on blouses. 2 of them better than 1, I quite agree.
I don't think I have any blouses with pockets. Very difficult to find in ready-made clothes anymore.
I have to say that I always feel I MUST wear a sweater over any blouse to be modest. I always am at a loss
during hot weather, therefore. One solution is wearing a long scarf around the neck.
But my standard one is real wool, from near Kashmir. You can imagine how cooling THAT is in 100 degree weather !
The Pocket Solution to this dilemma we women face is a good thought which all of us can incorporate into our attire to look more appropriate whether out and about in the world, or in Church services.
It's great you are able to sew such versatile outfits, Maria !
I am sure your mother appreciated your custom sewing for her.
I know what you mean about the elastic. Thanks for reminding me that I need to change the elastic in a new skirt.
It's perfect except for the elastic is too tight. I don't care for that stifling feeling around the middle.
I change many elastic waistbands, as they wear out over time with washing.
