I once was a Housecoat


I once was a lonely Housecoat - unshapely and unloved.....but then I was rescued and given as a birthday gift.


Now I have a new lease on life.......with pockets (and after a few adjustments due to some undie flashing gaping moments)


I'm now perfectly suitable to be worn in public - phew!

    This is great! It's perfect as a skirt..though I must say, I have this strange fascination with housecoats of late...

    Definitely your colour scheme and a clever way to up cycle the housecoat!

    Were the undie-flashing gapey moments as timely as the gravity enhanced zipper moment I had? The skirt is gorgeous! Perfect for you.

    Well. That is rather a housecoat statement. BUT A FABULOSO SKIRT.

    (and excellent to hear Mum is on the mend).
