Classy panties, lady

I have this skirt.  I've had it since before I lost THE WEIGHT. 

It's from Jjill.  It's long and black and has inserts at the bottoms, so it flares into a tulip shape.  The fabric is some of that wonderful stuff that you can wad up, throw into a corner and sleep on, and when you unroll it, it's perfect.

I've had the skirt taken in twice.  It's still too big.  Currently, I wear it pinned on both sides.

I know, I KNOW, I should just go get another skirt, but they don't make it anymore and it is so comfy and it goes with everything.  I can wear it in the winter with boots and the summer with heels.  I have a jacket that goes with it, and a few camisole tops to wear under the jacket, as well as pants that coordinate - I can't wear those anymore.  They are just way too big.  I'd take both the skirt and pants to the tailor, but my favorite tailor moved and I tried another, and the jeans that I brought her ended up all wrong, and, oh, it's been a mess.

Sunday, we decided to go to early Mass - 7 a.m.  We were all groggy.  Wait, strike that - The Hubster goes to that Mass every week, along with the three oldest, so they were used to it.  I most emphatically was not used to it, and neither were my youngest three.  We sat and stood as directed, and then it came time to kneel.  I knelt along with the other worshippers, and rested my head in my hands, trying desperately not to doze off.  Bang, it was time to stand up, and I pulled my feet under me in preparation to rise.

When I stood, my skirt, which had gotten trapped between my foot and my shoe, slid down.  To rest just below my butt cheeks.

When I told this story to my girlfriend, she said, "Well, at least you had on your slip."  Um, no, I didn't.  I'm thankful at least I had on my panties.    And that it was so early that most everyone was asleep.

Oh my word! I hope you at least had on pretty panties :)

Am I bad for laughing at that? I could just picture it and, while I understand you were mortified, it made me laugh. I'm sorry if that hurts you.

ROTFL... Although I've also caught my skirt and had it 'pull down' I don't think anyone has ever caught sight of my panties when it happened.

Too funny. :) Ummm... sorry? LOL.

Hey someone has to make Mass interesting!

I don't think I even own a slip any more but then again I tend to buy lined skirts nowadays.

I know my Mom is rolling her eyes in heaven and telling the angels she taught me better than that, but I wear bike shorts under my skirts. (And I even own a full slip nicely folded away with a wardrobe of half slips!)

You must have been horrified! (It did make me chuckle, though not in a mean way.) At least they weren't the thong variety! When I was getting my wedding photos taken, the photographer thought she would "help" and grabbed the train of my dress and "whooshed" it into the air to spread the train on the ground for a lovely photo. Only she whooshed it too high and beacuse the dress was lined I had no slip on, only butt floss... We got a free portrait!

I hope they were cute panties too!

[Mimi]

Oh dear!

I'm sorry, but I had to chuckle. I wore a wrap dress to Mass not too long ago and my 5 year old was so tired he fell asleep in my lap, somehow the tie to the dress came loose and when I stood up (holding my Son) the dress tried to drape (thank goodness I was holding him!). After that I double tied the bow and DO every time I wear it now. *g* So, you're not alone!

Coldwater Creek has great knit clothing (especially basics) in what they call their Travel knit line. It sounds like your favorite skirt and pants.

I did the exact same thing during lent one year: stood up from a prostration with my skirt caught under my heel and voila, there were my panties! And I was venerating the icon in the FRONT of the nave when it happened.

Hey I'm sure you just made mass more interesting for someone. They should be grateful.

[Sarah]

Very funny! This is one of those situations where I find myself glad that I'm not a super-easily mortified teenager anymore (because I myself manage to do things like that on a regular basis! :)

See, that there is a good lesson about how wearing underwear is often a good idea.

A similar thing happened to my dad once. He'd been in the hospital for months (complications from heart surgery), and got permission to be taken out for a day to attend a family funeral. He decided he wanted to stop to pick up some Hot and Sour Soup from his favorite takeout place. Dad wanted to walk into the restaurant instead of taking his wheelchair. My cousin assisted him, but as soon as he was over the threshold, his pants fell down around his ankles--he'd lost so much weight in the hospital.

He just pulled up his pants, placed his order, and walked out with his head high (and his belt cinched).

[Amy]

Thanks for the chuckle- definitely needed one! Sorry that it had to happen to you, but look at it this way- if you hadn't lost all of the weight, then it would have never happened! Good for you! :)

[Maria C.]

I agree with Amy. :-)

[Paige]

So funny! And if that doesn't tell you it's time to invest in a new favorite skirt, nothing will.

[Blonde Chick]

OMG... I'm laughing WITH you of course, and not AT you! This is a great story, and I'm sure similar to what's happened to all of us at one time or another.

Wow

Oh my what an experience. I am 27 and had a similar one about a year ago at a restaurant ladies room. I was in the ladies room fixing my make up and wearing a fairly short satin skirt which was always sliding up against my stockings, also nice sheer panties and a garter belt and 3 1/2 inch pumps, first date stuff. Anyway I was alone in the ladies focusing on my lip stick and frankly a little charged up (aroused) by my date when two teen girls charged in and scared the you know what out of me I turned quick and my pumps slid on the tile floor and down I went on my rear end, satin skirt up around my waist only for them to see my wearing absolutely sheer white panties with a garter belt and stockings. This would not be so bad but I am a pre-op transsexual (another words I have breasts and also the thing is still there)so these teen girls are staring at an erection under sheer panties. Talk about being embarrassed.
