TGIF
I dropped Eddie off at work this morning, and since the highway was jammed heading into the city I decided to walk around the store. I got no less than 4 comments on my homemade dress, and only one of those was from my mother. I walked through the fabric and craft department and found a fuckload of black stretch velvet that I think I could use if it wasn’t too bulky (I didn’t pull it down to really look at other than checking the price), and ended up buying another sheet set - this time in lavender - to make another dress tomorrow. I also picked up some slightly-shiny capri-length leggings, because I’m still a fat chick who doesn’t like her thighs to rub together, and they look pretty snazzy under the dress. Very 80’s.
The car got fixed this morning. Eddie walked up to the gas station shortly after their service center opened and got them to put some new terminals on. Cost us $26, and most of that was labor.

that is a killer dress! Good on you for making it!
And i HEAR you on the leggings thing. The worst nightmare of the ‘pleanty’ are red bumps on the thighs. GAH.

I tend to just use a pair of cotton bike shorts, but they’re about 5 years old and have lost a lot of stretch over time, so they don’t stay where I’d like. I figure the leggings would be an upgrade, as well as stylish

The dress rocks and I’m glad the car got fixed.
