My First Skirt (that I Made Myself)

I have wanted for a while to make my own skirt to wear. It was a pretty fun project and I had some direction from my wife but I did it 100% on my own. It feels very good to wear it today after spending the time to make it. What do you all think? (The photos were taken with my iPhone, so sorry about the quality. I tried to clean them up to make them presentable).

Why thank you for the kind comments! I hurt to stand on my 4" heels because I am recovering from an avulsion fracture to my ankle. But the pics wouldn't look the same with my air cast on. :)

The dress is absolutely beautiful, you did a wonderful job on it. I want to get a sewing machine so I can start designing and making my own clothes. Also you do have a great set of legs that I would kill for. B)

Take care and keep up the good sewing

I totally agree with my sisters. The skirt is adorable, Diana. Just the right length.

I love your shoes too! And those legs, wow!

Looking great, sis!

Omg, that is a wonderful skirt! It looks so pretty and so good feeling! I love the stockings that you put with it, and those shoes!

To die for!

Awesome work!

I think that someday soon I may be browsing at the mall and a "Diana Prince" will catch my attention out of the corner of my eye from the storefront window. I believe I would then pivot on a 4-inch heel to a 90-degree turn and start reaching for my purse (with whiplash, of course)!

Well done!

Diana,

The ability to sew and create clothes for yourself is a great gift, which I expect you will continue to do in the future. I have to have everything made for me at considerable expense, and I envy you your freedom.

That's a great pleated skirt. Enjoy !

Yes, I do plan on continuing to do so in the future. It was nice to have the skirt as the result, but it also felt very good making it. I am not certain which pattern I am going to work on next. Perhaps all of you can help me decide. Here are the options (these are the pattern pics, so I will probably choose a different color).

Diana, I really love both of the long skirts (the first and third pics). Just my personal preference, but

I've always thought the longer pencil skirts are so elegant and feminine.

Ok! Top one it is! I am going to use a dark red satin-like fabric.

Hi Diana.

Very professional job!

I have started sewing lessons myself and my first project was to make my 8 years old daughter some summer Pyjamas.

I plan on making her a floral summer dress next and then am going to make myself a nice blouse.

I like both the first and third skirt as I think the second skirt whilst sexy is way too young for me. :D

That looks really nice Diana. Good luck with the next one, can't wait to see it. I have thought about making my own clothing before but I don't know where to start. Can we look forward to the "Diana Prince" range of fine female clothing for the discerning male? :D

      I still eat 1/2C of old fashioned oats a few days a week.  Not so into that steel cut stuff.  I always mix it with rice.  If I screw up and make the oats and don't have any rice, then I typically throw the cooked oats away.  I guess I have my picky routines that I've developed over the decades.   I've been exposed to a lot of transgender people in the last year with many of them living with me.  This wasn't even on my radar years ago.  It sure is interesting, but I don't know how representative of the larger culture it is.

      America needs new leadership, but the House seems a bit laid back on that idea, being a President in any position takes a lot of responsibilities and keeping world peace at the same time.

      Thank you so much @Willow.

      Good morning everyone   well I think it is official, I picked up a rhinovirus at work no doubt.  I do try to be careful but you can’t always.  I hate wearing a mask. And I can only wash my hands or use sanitizer just so many times.   headache, plugged up nose, lots of phlegm even my ears are plugged up.  I’m doing everything I can but I’m afraid this one’s just going to have to run its course.  Too late for zinc or vitamin C although I will add some to my daily regimen.     I’ve got a lot to do today.  I even have to teach my wife how to drive the new car so she can get my son and daughter-in-law on Tuesday while I’m at work.  Yes it’s that different!  And the first time she’s been behind the wheel since February.  Hard to believe it’s June!   Happy Pride Month.  I had a really nice picture to post but it wouldn’t allow me to copy it.     Willow   “yes I’m old fashion, I still sign my letters”

      Good morning   @April Marie my condolences and prayers for your family.  I realize how difficult it is to process when a family member passes especially when it happen so quickly.  Sending special hugs your way.   Willow

      Happy Pride, everyone! Get out and march and show your colors and show your pictures here! Everywhere around the world. LGBTQ+ Pride Month is starting to show its colors around the world.  Pride Month, the worldwide celebration of LGBTQ+ culture and rights, kicks off Saturday with events around the globe. But this year’s festivities in the U.S. will unfold against a backdrop of dozens of new state laws targeting LGBTQ+ rights, particularly transgender young people. https://apnews.com/article/pride-month-lgbtq-2024-1abf80d0cf1026b60b47f565e9953fec

      I am also sorry for your loss.

      The age thing applies to both of them, and I say this as someone in my own mid 70's. As for being "businessmen," I don't consider the government to be a business.  That might be part of our problem now.  But this might not be the place to open that can of worms. I would like to be able to keep my personal freedom to live as myself, and the social security that I worked most of my life for.

      Although the right to care has been affirmed, I still find it disheartening that so many of the treatments that are available and beneficial to someone who is trans, is consequently barred by insurance companies who claim that anything beyond HRT and vaginoplasty, are cosmetic. I believe that any procedure that can help to make one passable as their desired gender, has the potential to be lifesaving. Is being able to just blend in as our desired gender so abhorrent to the insurance companies?    I also believe that the transgender communities are taken advantage of in many ways. Look at the number of healthcare providers who will provide care, but want up front payment, which in many cases, is way above what an insurance company will pay. It is very expensive paying out of pocket, yet many of us become so desperate to transition that we just pony up the money.

      Thank you so very much. The prayers are much appreciated.
