A while back Eve found an article about haramaki. This is a type of old-fashioned underwear worn in Japan - the name means 'belly warmer'. They have been languishing in obscurity because they have the same coolness factor as granny pants do here - but now they are experiencing a renaissance, and are being made in funky patterns and colours. They look quite fun - people are shown wearing them over jeans, like a little mini-skirt but higher, or under long tops, like another layer. I could see myself wearing one.
Here is the original article, and here is a tutorial written by someone else (though I think the result looks a bit skimpier than I'd like).
I have camouflage-pattern stretch fleece. I think I know what I'm doing with it.

Date: Tuesday, 16 October 2007 07:58 pm (UTC)Ever since the advent of low-rise jeans, women have been stuck with a little cold gap between the bottom of our shirts and the top of our jeans.
I think everyone I know in fact manages to find clothes that meet in the middle one way or another...

Date: Monday, 22 October 2007 11:55 am (UTC)I thought I'd let you know that we're looking for markers from 27th November - 7th December, at the usual rate of £10/hour. If you're looking for Christmas work and your term has finished, then please contact Jill (the project administrator) for further details on 01753 637222 or email j.ware@nfer.ac.uk, or see my LJ post today.
