Also known as a 'Greyhound Hem'. The reason why will be?answered off list only!! Angela, I haven't looked at your legs, but if they are as lovely as the visible parts, Betty Grable would be peeved!

Pelmet Skirts: It is apparently a euphemism for a mini skirt , never heard that one before, must be to young :-) Well sort off, but shorter than the width of some of the belts that females now wear. Least I say no more before being thrown off the list and into the compost heap?, or should that be the preverbal fan! Enjoy Life. Never promise, but will always try. Regards, Bob Sangster
