A New ‘Tude

As a longtime practitioner of the ancient philosophy known as The Way of the Yo-Yo, you’re intimately acquainted with more than a few dress sizes.

To wit: In March, you were a size eight. In May, down to four. Now, you’re passing six on your way back up.

Instead of changing your love-hate relationship with the knife and fork, simply give your Skirtitude an adjustment. This genius idea from a local designer involves only one piece of skirt-like fabric with two long ties at one end.

Depending on how the pieces are arranged, the ready-to-wear Skirtitude transforms into ten skirts and dresses that fit sizes zero to 20.

Just pick your material (terrycloth, rayon, or cotton), select the color (solids or prints), and choose a length (short or long). Next, decide your mood. Feeling demure? Try tying it behind the neck. Sophisticated? Wear it as a front-tied skirt. Sexy? Sling it over the shoulder.

And if you gain or lose a few pounds, no sweat: When it comes to versatility, nothing stands in the Skirtitude’s way.

Kind of like you and a square meal.
