“MeMadeMay (2020) day 8. SPACEDRESS, because it’s freezing outside and I only have so many matching pairs of Sock Dreams‘ Very Tall Socks.

I’m having a super crap self-image day, I hate how round and flat and stupid my face looks when my hair isn’t done. I feel like the ugliest person on the planet today, so… the fact that I’m even posting these photos is kind of a miracle.

On the other hand, I think it’s very interesting how differently my dresses fit when I actually choose to wear foundation garments under them, even though they’re made to my unaltered measurements. Food for thought.”

You know, I never thought that I spent all that much time or energy thinking or talking about my appearance. And then I started transcribing my MMMay posts. And I really don’t know what to do with that information. It’s kind of disturbing, actually.

Getting down to brass tacks: One: I look like Little Edie, lol. Two: I never wear foundation garments anymore. I won’t say *never*, never. I’ve been known to whip out a girdle now and again. But I never wear corsets anymore. Truthfully, most of my dresses fit better without them, and I’ve opted for the much more low-maintenance option of just… wearing a vintage Playtex Cross Your Heart bra. It’s legitimately shocking how much just that will do. Three: girl, your face will look one thousand percent less like the goddamn moon if you just put on some makeup. That’s it. That’s the solution.

SPACEDRESS is New York 1057, which is apparently not on the Vintage Pattern Wiki. Brb, fixing that.
