I always have a new blingy top for Christmas day......this year's was black of course......sleeveless.....the under layer a sheer black fabric and the outer layer horizontal strips of black splashed with gold.......about a dozen or so all sewn along the top of each layer....but free and slightly crimped at the bottom....
Guests smiled whenever they looked at me.....they like it too, I thought....
Til someone took me to a mirror..... :-0!
Every time I moved....took a deep breath.....raised my arms.....I talk with my hands so that was lots.....the horizontal strips did a sort of Mexican wave....
They rippled up and down the front of my body and when I stopped....they stopped where they were....if they were up...they were up.....exposing the diaphanous under layer.....and most of what was under that.......☺
So.....bin it....or charity shop it with a warning?......x
