Ladies, Do You Like to Wear Dresses or Pants?

[Lara]

...I also think it’s healthier in the summertime, so is wearing odour resistant materials like rayon ( bamboo, linen, merino wool etc)

Wait. You wear bamboo? Do tell. You mean Garden of Eden style? Those bamboo leaves are so skinny, you must be a tiny little thing. Seriously, I never heard of wearing bamboo.

Lara didn't you know that Bamboo is a very popular material now particularly for bed linens ?

No! Lol. Rayon is made from bamboo fibre thats bacterial and fungus resistant making it almost odour proof. So is merino wool , hemp and some other natural materials .

Many women have used diaper covers made from merino wool and have claimed they only had to be washed once a month. Not that I m planning on not doing laundry. It’s just that I’m athletic so sweat in the summer months , making this moisture wicking material perfect for my use. The materials are cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

The other day I got a five pack of bamboo fibre made seamless underwear which are the most comfortable things I’ve ever worn in my life. I’ll never go back to cotton.

It has nothing to do with weight or shape Lara. Plus all these materials are from sustainable source leaving less of a carbon foot print and the fabric is ‘the’ most comfortable ever.

Cool! No I never heard of Bamboo material. I need to watch more TV. I cancelled AT&T and just use Roku on rare occasions. I've just been too busy but I finally have a contract on my house. I digress. The sheets look so soft in the photos. I'm used to crispy white sheets though.

Oh I just saw your post Keesha! The things you learn in SF lol. Who knew.

i'm far from runway material but not immense. fat is fairly evenly distributed. BUT any dress/skirt just looks silly on me... either that or we're always harsher on ourselves. otherwise, i'd make several skirts... soft denims, khaki, etc.

I've always been so hard on myself...

Reading Keesha's and your posts helped put a smile on my face and pick my spirits up.

Thanks, WC.

really cute stuff... if you HAVE that shape. like i said, i'm not massive but haven't had a waist like that in over 40 years.

I think most of us are hard on ourselves.

Gosh, once a month.

That’s what I thought but in the thread I’d made there were 3 individuals that mentioned how the material repels odours. A man said that his wife’s got a nose like an ant eater and can smell a mosquito fart yet can’t tell he’s worn his merino wool shirt for 10 days in a row without washing it.

I realize this is starting to sound like I’m ultra lazy . I’m not. I’ll still do laundry like I normally do. I just like the idea of moisture and odour wicking fabrics. Another thing is that if you are traveling these clothes don’t wrinkle and you can take less items. Many claim they are perfect fabrics for traveling and any sports actIvity like hiking, biking, canoeing etc

Oh these clothes aren’t just made for skinny girls. They come in all sizes and styles and I have no doubt if you looked you’d find something suitable for you.

I’m not normally a granny panty lover but bought these granny style ones made from bamboo fabric. Seriously they are THE MOST COMFORTABLE underwear ever. The price was perfect too. I’m chucking out all my other panties and wearing these exclusively. It’s best to wash them on gentle cycle if you don’t want them all bent out of shape.

Oh, those do like nice.

I'm still living in the past with my nylon-antron jobbies! LOL!

Old habits are hard to break, but I'm definitely going to look closer at the bamboo option.

Thanks for posting about, Keesha!

I never heard of Bamboo fabric....anyway, I like jeans....Because when I worked for 25 years...we mostly wore dresses.
No Jeans aloud....In the winter I wear slacks....and sweaters....I love shoes....I just pulled out some of the shoes I use to
wear...I kept some and put the other's in the bins by the Lakeside....I'm now getting rid of some clothes I don't wear...
I'll give them away to the used clothing store in our town....

 

[Jules]

In the winter it’s jeans.

As soon as the weather is nice it’s skirts & dresses. Absolutely never shorts.

If it’s cool, then it’s time for my jeans. The poor things are getting so thread bare that I look poor. No matter what I spend, I just can’t find a pair that fit as well or feel as good.

I do have nicer pants for all seasons. They rarely come out of the closet. Lately, there’s no place to wear anything nicer.

Don’t think I’ve known this information all along. I’m 60 and just discovered it this year. I hadn’t a clue until recently. It’s expensive stuff that I certainly can’t afford a new wardrobe of it but can afford personal items that are closest to my skin like underwear, socks , shoes and bed sheets.

Not only is this great for active people but those getting older who want extra comfort and confidence. The only reason that I discovered this information is that I belong to a tiny site of people who have the same disorder I have and this is what they suggested and they were spot on. It’s not something I’ve ever learned off television so you aren’t as clued out as you suggest. I don’t think most people know about this except perhaps the very wealthy, of which I’m not.
