I much prefer trousers (or pants - I live in England and pants mean underpants to us) to skirts and I hate dresses. I'm hoping to loose enough weight before the summer to feel more comfy in skirts this year though. I’m completely the opposite.

Finally, on my last magazine your clover camisole caught my eye. Heather Zoppetti - name sounds familiar. Of course, I made the Dahlia cardigan this winter.

Do 20 minutes of WORK, then 10-20 of whatever you want. It works! I know it sounds trite and stupid, but the timer thing relly does work. Do 20 minutes of WORK, then 10-20 of whatever you want.

Bike shorts* are usually the cheapest, easiest-to-find solution. There are also pettipants that have been making a comeback. Some girls wear Spanx, but that can cause issues with the compression. If you're not into an extra layer, I've heard good things about Body Glide, but I can't personally attest to it. *Not the kind professionals wear, 'cause those are pricy. Think more like a cotton/spandex or poly/spandex knit, with tapered legs, without pockets, and with a thin elastic waist band. Chub rub, chafing, yup: been there, done that.

My favorite type of skirt is a reversible one made of two different georgette or other lightweight sheer fabric with an elasticized waist. And faced with another excessively hot and humid central Florida summer, declaring a pants-free summer of 2012 sounds like a GREAT idea to me!

I haven't looked for it, but isn't there a sort of culotte like undergarment? Could be inspired by the 1920s or so. Like s slip but it goes around each leg. That might help? And if made from a lovely silk or satin it would make you feel really elegant wearing them. Been there. I haven’t looked for it, but isn’t there a sort of culotte like undergarment?

I found your blog so inspiring that, half way through, I jumped up and went looking at my fabric stash. I desperately need to use some of it up! Unfortunately I realised that I have a lot of stuff suitable for quilting but not as much for a skirt. Still, I won't let that hold me back: I'll either find something (my stash is spread all over, boohoo) or I'll piece some shorter pieces together. I even found three fabric pieces that would be great together! Thank you so very much for the inspiration! I can't promise when I'll start but I would definitely like to. Very much. Brilliant!

I used to hate dresses and skirts, but somewhere in there my brain went and got all girly on me. I'd love to give this a try, and I'm wanting to learn how ot sew as well. Thank you for the excuse!

My thighs rubs together a lot, so I can't wear skirts/dresses two days in a row with bare legs. :( But I'd love to make at least one skirt this year so I'll try to join in on the sewing fun anyway. :D I like the idea of just wearing skirts and dresses, but I have a slight problem.
