perfect wet , suit

Thank you! After spending 45 years in crisp uniforms and business suits, they are by far my favorite to get wet. This was yesterday!

when I was really young, just swimming with my underwear on under my swim trunks was a thrill. Eventually to regular shorts, t-shrits, then pants, button up shirts, over the years it has built up to where dry-clean-only suits are the thing I like to soak the most. As much fun as it is, I'd rather watch you do it

Thank you SB! And let me say this carefully... my first experience reset my brain as a very young girl and involved wet underwear under a dress in summertime. I definitely understand!

Just a wonderful woman.

Thank you for the love Mr. B!

I always thought that silk simply could not survive being wet - is that true?

I have had that jacket since the 80's and I have gotten it wet many, many times since then. Once in a while I have to use this battery operated fuzz remover on it but the trick is to get it wet, line dry it under or over a vent, and toss it in the dryer for about 10 minutes when it is about 90% dry. So far it has help up better than expected but this is a very thick, very well made jacket. The skirt was tossed many years ago as it was thinner.

Now I will tell you this... it was a very fine soft print jacket back in the day and I only used it on special occasions, mostly to off Broadway shows and the symphony. Today, after years of use in the shower, it could still hold it's own in such a setting but the quality is a bit off. As for the blouses, they fall apart pretty quickly and are pretty much throw aways after a few soakings. That's when I rely on the sales department on Amazon

I'll use this jacket again soon, I'm thinking of pairing it with a very short skirt and another silk blouse.
