Apologies to L.Cohen

The pants I bought
When I was fifteen pounds heavier,
I can wear them now.
It is never too late
(even for the gauchos my sister gave me in 1992)
I advise you all
To upgrade your sewing skills so the pants you usually wear no longer fall down.

(Am using safety pins because the now-fitting trousers are all summer. Must learn to take in elastic.)

Safety pins are practical and adjustable.

Braces can be fun. (That statement may not travel. Red braces)

Braces are neat but they have trouble co-existing with boobs. Especially for those of us who wear sports bras and wouldn't look at underwire if you paid us.

Ohhh wow! That's so cool! go you. (on losing the pounds that is)

Ahahaha I've had to learn to sew from an early age. I *ahem* 'inherited' big hips from my mother BUT I used to have a small waist. So I've always had to take in the waist at least an inch and a half each side. Depending on the cut of the skirt or trousers (sometimes I take in two inches in the middle at the back) Nowadays the take in isn't so much heheheh but I still have to do it. ^_^.

And pins are wonderful creations.

I have no waist to speak of, even when not overweight. Thus have usually managed to wear guys' jeans no prob. Now it's all elastic tops, which should be easy enough to alter even with my non-existent sewing skills.

*HIGH FIVE*
And <3 for the verse XD

I wore a skirt today because I'm tired of my jeans falling down.

Of course some of those pants are still unwearable and may remain so unless I lose another 30 pounds. It's the clingy polyester fabric. Pants fit fine everywhere, but the crotch area is-- let us say, if I were a guy you could tell whether I was circumcised or not.

Yeah!! Go you!

Of course *keeping* it off is the problem.
