#Not entirely a dream skirt tbh it has no pockets and I'd have preferred more of a circle skirt shape than whatever this hell with gores is

Ah yes, the dream £10 vintage Laura Ashley skirt (made in Great Britain), in good quality corduroy
The dream skirt that requires a fucking PHD in ironing
#I just don't understand how the gores are meant to work#It probably isn't actually very difficult to iron but this is 2023 nobody irons regularly anymore#I do not have the practise and even though I intend to start ironing more often this is not a beginner's project#Not entirely a dream skirt tbh it has no pockets and I'd have preferred more of a circle skirt shape than whatever this hell with gores is#A circle skirt also would be better for when my weight fluctuates as it only has one measurement#And I'm going to have to attach some hooks and eyes and give it a deep clean as it is#But for £10 secondhand in a really nice colour that I can wear with shirts I already own I'm not going to complain#At least not more than I have already#Anyway I'm supposed to be doing like actual work and instead I'm sitting here looking at the pleat/gore situation thing like ??????#I'm actually not a huge Laura Ashley fan generally tbh it's a bit too flowery and floofy for me#But whenever this skirt was made was obviously when they were making really good quality stuff#The corduroy is just miles better than the shit that John Lewis are selling now#And because it's corduroy it's a lot less pre-Raphaelite than it could have been THANK GOD#So yes we are celebrating#No offence to lovers of flowery and floofy fashion btw it's just not me#Other than the calf-length skirt fascination I would be in menswear to the end of time#But that requires so many more measurements and I'm cheap so skirts it is
