When I travelled to the US last week there was a woman on the plane wearing only a pair of thickish, glossy see through to your underwear tights and a top that barely reached her hips. Every time she bent over you could see the pink thong she was wearing. I found this a bit ofensive but as you can imagine hubby was fascinated. In contrast the guy she was with was a bit of a slob, scruffy top and baggy track suit bottoms. Would you or could you go out dressed like this?

I have a bit of a washing instruction dilema.

I bought a top for work, which seemed like a good idea at the time. Its a long black cardigan, quite thin, and stitched into it is a white broderie anglais (don't think thats spelt right, is it?) sort of blouse kind of thing. Its only the front of the blouse, its stitched into the cardigan, hope you know what kind of thing I mean.

Anyway, the washing instructions just say "wash with similar colours" - but similar to what? The black? Or the white?

I don't really want to wash it with other whites, in case I send all daughters school shirts grey? I don't want to wash it with the darks, in case it turns the white part of it grey?

Remind me next time to think of washing instructions next time I feel like buying something like this. What would you wash it with? All advice will be gratefully recieved.

I have a short black skirt with pockets on the hips that's age 15 from Tammy Girl!!! Bought it about 10 years ago and it still fits cos I'm not particularly tall and the clothing sizes are based on height. I still wear it now occasionally, but with thick tights instead of bare legs and it's in pretty good condition for being so old. What about you???
