Re: [lace] Wrinkle-free
The rich are different from you and me. Far be it from me to impune the coolness of the queen, fashionwise or body temperaturewise, but the kinds of clothing that people like her wear are very different. I once went to an exhibit of Jackie Kennedy's clothing. There was a wrap skirt. I recall wrap skirts which I wore, and they inevitably were blown by a gust of wind and left you totally exposed to your waist in public. So, I was interested to see that Jackie's wrap skirt, which never behaved that way, was actually draped around an armature of stiff crinoline such as milliners use. It was pretty much an artifice on a very firm inner structure. There is no way it could ever open. It must have cost thousands to make, not the $50 I paid for my wrap skirt. I think that couturiers may know a few things about how to make a garment that doesn't wrinkle, ie, interfacing, linings, etc. Devon in NJ - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Wrinkle-free
There is that, definitely. Weighted hems keep matters in order, on most windy days, too.

[lace] Wrinkle-free mojo???
Adele, I once worked with a Miss Perfect. She could sit at her desk all day long in a 100% silk dress, and when she got up there was nary a wrinkle on it. Some people just have wrinkle-free mojo. That made me smile as I remembered back in the 70s in London and we were all heavily into astrology. Linda Goodman's Star Signs said that one of the signatures for a Cancer person is that the minute they wear new clothes it looks as though they've owned them for yerears. That's me to a tee!!! Definitely NOT a wrinkle-free mojo (whatever a mojo is???) LOL David in Ballarat, AUS - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Wrinkle-free
All this talk about the Queen's clothes always looking wrinkle free has finally rung faint bells in my head. I wsa reading an article about HM's clothes and I think it was said that the amount one's clothes wrinkle while worn reflects your inner body temperature. Cool people keep their garments wrinkle free while hot people, like me, wrinkle them quickly. Apparently the Queen is a cool person, in the literal meaning. I hope this memory of mine is correct; it isn't always! Patricia in Wales - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
