An excellent bridesmaids costume, a walking talking skirt!

I'd be good at that
Many moons ago, when I had to work for a living in an office....... I was known as the Tortoise lady as my desk was covered in model tortoises . People would bring them back for me from their holidays and they were all shapes and sizes (the tortoises, not the people!).
We were moving office to another building and had to pack all our desk belongings (including the tortoises) into large plastic crates for the removal men. I thought that I could hide under one of these crates and crawl around the floor pretending to be a tortoise. So, when nobody was looking, I crouched down on hands and knees and pulled a crate over my back and proceeded to crawl across the floor. I couldn't see where I was going as my head was in the crate.
Suddenly, there was a knock on my "shell" and I heard my name. Sticking my head out of my shell in my best tortoise fashion, I looked up, and there was my Boss, of all people!
To his credit, he didn't bat an eyelid or mention it again. Which is more than I can say for the rest of the office who were clutching their sides laughing!!

I've never been a bridesmaid and I'm sure I'd look stunning in one of those crinoline style dresses that they put over toilet rolls.
haha I know exactly what you mean! I could crochet you the dresses

You'll need a matching one Sarriss - and Can would like a crocheted tuxedo.
Anyone else like a crocheted outfit for the big day? Place your orders now.
RE: What keeps you busy - SarrissUK - 03-07-2020
And send more yarn!
RE: What keeps you busy - JJB - 03-07-2020
I have found in the past that crochet swimsuits are a it of a disaster so I hope it's not a pool party!
RE: What keeps you busy - Veggie - 03-07-2020
That brings back memories, JJB
Ones I'd rather forget.I remember the crocheted skirts and dresses fashion too - ?70s. I never had one as the swimsuit embarrassment was still there. A friend was always crocheting and, because she'd made it, felt obliged to wear it on every occasion. She had a crocheted dress which seemed to have "holes" in all the wrong places and left little to the imagination!
Would we need crocheted underwear too to cover our modesty?
RE: What keeps you busy - SarrissUK - 03-07-2020
Definitely need underwear Veggie, but no need for them to be crocheted, but most definitely self-supplied haha
