It’s nice to hear from others who wear pantyhose. I always feel kinda naked without them in a business or church setting.

But really one of the biggest reasons why I wear them (and knee highs with my business pants) is because I CAN’T STAND TO FEEL MY SWEATY FEET MAKE DIRECT CONTACT INSIDE MY SHOES !!! All that sweat must make the shoes stink over time. Sorry for you girls with hot summers — I still wear pantyhose in our 90 degree July days.

Comment on About These American Girl Dolls…. by Heather

She makes pattern for AG dolls that are actually fashionable — skinny jeans, leggings, cocoon cardigans. Normal looking tees. My nieces LOVE them. She also now does girl clothes.

There’s also a 1 year old book out. I think written by Joan Hinds and someone else at Barnes & Noble or online. Each pattern has a matching one for doll & girl, but I thought some were a bit ill-fitting on the girl.

Probably too late to help, but…

Hi Cidell. Regarding jersey fabric, have you looked at Tia Knight’s shop on Ebay UK? She has an amazing range of jersey fabrics and colours available. I don’t know about shipping to the US, but it would be worth enquiring. I’ve ordered from her and the service and quality are fantastic. Good luck!

That is one cute “frequent companion”!
Your dress is great. I’m impressed. I may have to think about this one.
Remember: If you do make a 1.5 inch swayback alteration, add the length back at the hem. The same goes for me when I tuck up the chest area for a small bust adjustment.

Living in Florida has spoiled me, so I still won’t wear panty hose. I see Welmoed is in your picture, too!

Oh! I bought lime green double knit at fabric.com about a week ago. Just look under double knit in the knit apparel fabric section. It’s called Sophia.

I agree on pantyhose – I’m practically translucent, so I like my legs not looking blue-ish. And they do give a more polished professional look, IMHO. And they keep me from getting blisters from wearing shoes w/out any socks, etc.

My legs have little dark marks and scars all over them. Pantyhose definitely keep them looking smooth. I would *never* leave the house without foundation on my face! It seems kind of the same concept.

Yes! I don’t wear support garments. That’s what pantyhose have always done for me. Especially in a dress that could use a slip to smooth things out.

Yes, people generally make a bit of a face when I say I’m looking for pantyhose or need to change because of a run, etc. I also don’t even find them hot. Maybe because I’m always a little cold? I dont’ wear them with casual outfits though. But, almost always for work!

Sometimes pantyhose are simply appropriate for the situation-they make clothes fit more smoothly,not to mention that they protect ones shoes from ones skin, and vice versa, which is why I always wore them. Few people have such perfect skin on their legs that they won’t benefit from evening out the skin tone and color and providing a little cover up for scars and flaky dry skin, etc. I have legs so white they glow in the dark, and a tich of color definitely helps, but finding the RIGHT color can be so difficult. Often you get shades of red or orange, which surely doesn’t match anyone on the planet? I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you find another brand or shade that suits you as well!

Oh, and I’m sincerely wishing I could have gone on the fabric crawl, one of these days I WILL get to Gus Woolens!

Love the picture! There are some folks I haven’t seen in years there (Hi Nikki!). I’m glad pantyhose are making a comeback. Since I have Irish-white legs, I have had to either use spray-on leg cover ($$$) or self tanner (can’t stand the smell). So I’m one who is gladly embracing their return.
