That's a shame. Maybe you could have a dress up Friday.

Dress Down Fridays make me smile. It acknowledges how bloody dull wearing a shirt and tie every day is.

i don't see what the problem is - in "scooby doo" the school janitor always looked like that anyway

I'm a fashion student, and I make almost everything I wear. Which is useful, nay essential, as I have a style that could kindly be described as original, and I'm much too skinny for anything in the shops to fit me. Bastard sizing! I don't particularly enjoy the process of making something - sewing just bores the hell out of me and I can't use ready-made patterns like most people do, because they don't come in a small enough size. I have to draft everything from modelling on a dummy - which I also had to make myself because the ones on sale are all too big!!! What I do enjoy is designing, and the fact that I can make all my daft ideas a reality.
I've had many a comment from complete strangers asking "where did you get that?", and I always smile very smugly as I tell them I done it all by myself.
On a 'style' note, if you ever see anyone walking around Glasgow with their drainpipe trousers tucked into a pair of cowboy boots a la , come up and say hi!

Hee hee hee - I've just purchased a digital camera, so we're in the process of figuring out how to upload stuff... if you're sure you can take it.....

oh back to the thread. I used to go LRP'ing and made all my own costumes but I'd never wear any of it to work. I mean studded leather armour, leg plate armour, spikey fingerless gloves, lots of big chunky belts and long black cloak

Born Late 58 - Mott The Hoople

Pants was a bad word that only someone like Alf Garnett would use in them days
