Sorry you guys, need to finish coloring in a drawing.

totally alright~ may i inquire as to what you are drawing?

Just now getting out of work, so I'm doing pretty good.
And I really like everything about this skirt except maybe the kind of texture/pattern it has to it. As for length, I prefer longer styles. Knee-length and longer.
Actually, other than the texture/pattern, this skirt is very similar to the style of a couple that I own irl.

not really digging the wide-knit woolishness but the rest is ok? XD gotcha~

Lol. The wide knit woolish thing is alright. But I generally think of woolen type skirts as a more heavy winter type skirt. And I think of winter skirts as being more mid-calf maxi skirts I guess?
For avis in general, it's alright, but for rl cosplay avis it's not quite right.
XD

rl cosplay?


it was supposed to be kinda schoolish, hahaha those things can be pretty thin and short regardless of weather

Chocobo: It's avatar art for a friend. :)

Rl cosplay = real life cosplay = making my avi look like myself
XD

Ohhh....I mean...it could have sort of the 60's-ish school vibe...?
I honestly haven't seen anyone wear a wool type skirt in...forever. Although I found a couple nice ones on Amazon that I want except the reviews on sizing are so inconsistent that I don't dare order one.

ooh, are you able to share? owo


really? X''D i am not nearly old enough for 60's anything and as far as i know the stuff from when i was a kid is still how it's done(of course i guess synthetics could just be more prevalent than they were ten years ago)

Oh believe me, my knowledge of the 60's is pretty much from movies and tv shows...so not 100% accurate at all.
I just seldom think of short-ish wool type skirts without thinking of the 60's and 70's.

i just checked and skirts are about what they were though there are a lot more options with nylon and polyester

pffft, to hear it from my motherinlaw it was all jumpers and daydresses in the wool department XD

Kind of wishing I had asked my mom about 60's fashion...but I missed out on that opportunity.

surely you have other family/friends who lived then?

None that I ever talk to or have contant info for.

well dang.... um, hve you considered looking for books from around that time that have a reason to comment on the contemporary fashions? both libraries and second-hand shops have them for sure
