Quote from: ChrissyRyan on March 25, 2026, 02:04:14 PMBib style, picture bib overalls.  The two shoulder straps button or fasten in front above the breast line.

Ahh that makes a lot of sense now that you've described it.

No its definitely not that style.

What a lovely story Phillipa. Thank you for sharing that.
My first dress purchase was in a store late in the evening also. It was such excitement at the time.
Now I buy my clothes online and collect them at a local store so the don't need to come in the post.
I do love a nice new dress though ❤️.

Quote from: PhilippaRees on March 25, 2026, 01:47:32 PMYes they are a bit inconvenient. It was quite a novel experience sitting practically naked in a public restroom for the first time. Nothing, however, could dull my excitement at owning one.

I'm not sure what you mean by bib style. This one is elasticated and you have to step into it from the very top.

I'll try and post a picture of it when I get picture hosting set up
I don't like jumpers or 5he like because I have to strip down to pee

Quote from: ChrissyRyan on March 25, 2026, 01:33:44 PMI kind of like the look of some of the bib jumpers/jumpsuits (or overalls too).  They may be a bit inconvenient when going to the restroom though.  Are they?  I have not shopped for these, some may have zippers I suppose or easy ways to open up.

If they were that bib style but like a dress, not as a big of deal for sure.


These bib jumpers are not to be confused with jumpers which are sweaters!
I find jump suites can be annoying  when go to the toilet because you have drop the hole thing down and if you wear a cardigan over the top you have to take that off as well  .. not that I go to the toilet when I'm out dressed up as it freaks me out if others are in there  so I dont

Sometimes I wish I was traditional college age again so I could wear some of the cute clothes without standing out as a silly middle aged woman.  But you are what you are!
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I'd love to be able to pull off micro skirts and sky high heels.
Get my drinks for free.

Oi! You're only seven years older than me! I still want free drinks! Not willing to subject anyone to me in a micro skirt though, the world is not ready for that abomination!

It's all down to how you carry yourself and how you feel having multiple eyes drilling into you!

I can say it's an adrenaline rush having gone out there in many very extreme outfits!

Right now I carry a gut that no one would want to see in a short skirt. It would look like I'm wearing sausage casing.😐�

Guess I'm little younger but still 44 is pushing it according to some. I've got tiny hot pants to wear at the furry convention 😺 Anything goes there!
