Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I was reading in a magazine that ruffles are in. There was a time I loved ruffles and found them so feminine. Now I think they add pounds. Anyone wearing ruffles this fall? _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	I used to wear ruffles on my top - to get that busty look you really wanted in 9th grade. However, no more ruffles for me - I agree, Dotsie, they do add pounds. Have you heard about some countries banning super thin models from the runways? They are saying it's bad for the girls to grow up thinking that's the way they should be too - they are trying to get to more realistic sizing. So glad that is finally happening!! Kathy

If you already have a nice jacket, you might be able to add a military look by simply switching to brass military-style buttons. _________________________ My website http://www.carolynagosta.com

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	I'm not very big but I have broad shoulders and was told I should never wear ruffles or it will make them look even larger! I was thrilled to hear about the models on the runway. So glad someone finally realized what it does to young girls. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

Pam R. Member Registered: 03/10/06 Posts: 404	EEEWWWW...I never wore ruffles even in 7th grade when I was a size 4! Actually, I never care what's in style. I wear what I think looks good on me, and believe me...ruffles don't! _________________________ Pam

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	Ruffles? I thought that had to do with potato chips, not clothing. Never have, never will, but then I have never been a girlie, girl. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	To me, looking at some of those runway models is like looking at some of the concentration camp surveviors, and they didn't look that way on purpose. If thats sexy, I'll eat everybodys ruffles...and I don't mean potato chips. Hey Dotsie, nice to see your smiling face again!!
