Though her memory is seriously deteriorating...Pat,<br /><br />Though her memory is seriously deteriorating, my mother has always been fairly tolerant of pictures of me dressed. Not sure when this year;s Halloween party will be, whether she will be doing well that day, and whether the new administration at the nursing home would tolerate my "new costume." But the current thought process is to dress there... Time will tell if it works out. <br /><br />I'm not sure the approach that worked for you would work for me...since I mostly wear long dresses around the house and they are tolerated. But even an expressed thought of any other item of female clothing gets the "evil eye."<br /><br />Except the "kilt" idea. For some reason, that did not. And I admit I haven't done much to move it forward, other than to do some very basic research. The concept should be workable, but the summer has been too busy to get very far.<br /><br />MandyMandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-30990495743013770932017-07-18T02:55:58.491-07:002017-07-18T02:55:58.491-07:00Marian,

Once the situation stabilizes I'll post more...<br /><br />But if it eventually works out, I may be able to proceed as planned.<br /><br />MMandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-78384351782102986402017-07-17T20:11:32.844-07:002017-07-17T20:11:32.844-07:00Mandy -

This may enable you to buy a few more dresses and 'give them to your mother' for the home to label and then provide storage in her closet. Then when you want to take the dress out for a spin you just reborrow your own dress from your mother. I am sure neither your mother nor the home will notice a missing dress, especially if there is a small collection of dresses hanging in her closet.<br /><br />In my situation my wife became more tolerant of me being dressed at home if I spent my dress up time cooking or cutting up food for dinner or even cleaning around the place. It enabled her to pick up an appreciation that there are some plusses to having a husband who likes to dress as a woman. In your case perhaps the plus side of your presentation becomes more palatable to your wife if it save a few bucks on a dinner out.<br /><br />You are likely correct that some folks simply have no experience with skorts. Live and learn.<br /><br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.com
