My Untamed Dress

Most of the time I successfully resist my exhibitionistic wanna be stripper inner self with great success. Though several years ago, I did go clubbing in not enough clothing, those days are long over for me and I strive to be as modest as a Nun, or more. It seems my Muslim days left a permanent mark on me.

So it was that last Sunday I wore a Macy's pale pink and white full shirt dress to church and got many complements. It is mid calf length and with suitable slip, I thought there could not be an issue with it. I also do not wear panty hose and chose instead to wear stockings with suspender belt with white lace shoes. One woman said I looked quite demure.

So, uncharacteristically for Oregon, the day was bright and sunny. As I walked out to the car, I ran into the Bishop's wife and several others so we stood and chatted for a few minutes. Suddenly a stiff breeze came up and before i knew it the hem of the dress was around my neck! Wallah ! By the time I fought the errant fabric back into place, I was quite humiliated and the guys were piously leering at me. I quickly put said skirt between my knees and before any thing could be said I scampered off to my car.

When next I saw the Bishop's wife, I apologised and she said, "Don't worry, it happens to us all".

It is still embarrassing

What the Bishop's wife said is true. That doesn't make it any less embarrassing when it happens to you though.

All of us?

Well, admittedly I haven't gone outside in a dress. Yet. :')

Still, that was some mighty powerful wind! =(

Hmm,

Extravagance's picture

you could probably see the tip. More, if the back of the skirt lifted up. ;)

Next thing you want to know? = )

could be worse

I once saw a very stupid girl in a short flared bright white skirt in a scrapyard with her boyfriend and yep her skirt went up. Since scrapyards are typically full of men, well lets just say I was glad I wasn't in her shoes.

Who says she was stupid?

Maybe she did it on purpose. What would have been really interesting would be if she had gone commando.

I have no idea what she wore under it I wasn't looking when it happened.

Glad you weren't in her Shoes:

Is that because you wouldn't have seen as much as you did?

I guess it depends on your point of 'view'!

Embarrassing, I know.

Be happy that you're leer-worthy. ;-)

I remember a story about that happening to Princess Diana. The queen informed her that she has lead weights sewn into her skirts to prevent such scandalous incidents. lol

(Admit it. Part of you really loved it. That deep inner self that you try to suppress leapt for joy.)

After teasing you mercilessly, I'll have to say that I admire the way that you are exploring yourself and facing whatever life throws at you.

I think that's a terrible way -

To use Phillip and Charles!

Bright side

Just remember, just a few years ago, you would have been in a suit and tie, and unable to experience, something that only a well dressed woman could. Would you rather have the wind in your dress or the suit and tie?

Thanks for reminding me

You reminded me of a famous picture of Marilyn Monroe standing on a subway air grate holding the skirt of her dress as the air of a train pushed it up.

Also as I was exiting synagogue recently in a flared skirted dress I needed to hold on to my purse, a bag holding my prayerbook and talleet and onto my hat with one hand and my cane and the side of the skirt with the other as the wind went by. Not dignified, but I prefer skirts to slacks or jeans.

Welcome to the world of women. For me most of it great. But as you mentioned, some we have to accept.

Oh Gwen!!

I can see you sowing pennies into the hem of all your dresses next. Tut, tut and outside the church an' all.
Still, the bishop's wife accepts you and that's a fabulous ego boost. Go for it guu-uurl!!
Skype you soon.
