Anti-fashion

I wear what I think looks good on me. I often wear pants with dresses and skirts.

oh I do that too

Good for u, I like wearing wot the hell I like too, why not, if you are happy and comfortable in it then I don't see the problem, anyone that does have a problem with wearing what the hell they like are too self conscious about conforming to social groups (in my opinion!!)

GO YOU!!! I like your style

Go you!

I would like to do that, but it's kinda hard when I can't find anything in the shops that fits the style I like, but I can always make it now =]

making clothes is awesome

i have considered taking up dressmaking as a hobby.
i dont want to join any classes, as im at school full time, and i dont really like classes because i'll soon get bored, as i like to work on things at my own pace (:
so i was just wondering if anyone would give me tips and advice on what i need to get and little hints on what to do and what not to do

thankss (:

I love London, but I can go there in clothes that are a little mad/odd and no one mocks you cause its a big place but where i live its all odd 'cause its considered a chavvvvy place.
On and leslaay! Im 12 and don't you have textile classes at school? I do and they're realllly helpful, but if not order some patterns online and you get instructions and you get really good vintage ones. You can make them in any fabric you like. I started making little monsters for friends out of really cool printed cotton. My mum a professional dressmaker so I will ask her later and gets some tips. Oh, and if you want to sell try etsy rather than ebay because it like a dressmakers/odd/mad/cool/fasiony person's haven! They sell vintage clothes and homemade stuff, like a handmade jewelery and clothes. I have gone off the point now

London is pretty chavvy... but that shouldn't stop you... you do have random places like Camden in London, or Brighton where anything goes... I wear what I like, I've given up caring what people think because you can never please everybody.

I'd love to do dressmaking as a hobby... I've found some lovely fabric I'd love to use...

I work with someone who has the wackiest dress sense but because she truely loves her clothes everything looks so amazing. She's become a bit of a hero since she started working with me (a couple of years ago) as she definitely isn't size 10, she's very curvy and its her confidence and sense of fun is what you see, not whether she's got a few wobbly bits (like all of us). I think that there are two things you need to consider when you buy something 1. Do I genuinely like it and 2. Does it fit. Other than that I don't think much else matters. I also tend to think that skinny isn't real and in terms of fashion its a pretty new and western ideal. If you go back to the 50s and look at women like Marilyn Monroe she was and still is considered gorgeous and she was about a size 16.

hey ,its america, you can wear wahtever you like

i think i conform to fashion too much at the moment clothes-wise, so i really want to shake up my style. however i do a ton of jewellery making, which i love, and the stuff i do is quite individual so i guess thats different. i havent worn a skirt in years i dont think so I want to change that and get a skirt. or even make one!!! (bad idea last time I did it turned out a sparkly, starry puffball mess. but not in a good way lol!) i need to stop being so much of a tomboy!!

I think it's terrible that people feel they have to dress a certain way because of what they think other people will say. Who cares about other people? You are living your life, not theirs.
I grew up in a Northern working class seaside town, very ordinary, but I used to dress very flambouyantly and yeah, people would say stuff, but you find that wearing outrageous stuff makes you more confident and you just say stuff right back. My family hated the way I dressed, still do, but I still don't care.
