I agree, and it seems to be one of the few places where you can still can get reasonably priced natural fibre clothing (cotton, linen, viscose). And every now and then they'll have a really cute dress or top or pair of shorts; like one per season, maybe, but in good fabric that will last forever.

I don't think any Sunday school teachers actually get paid.
Dress normally. I'm so glad I'm not in the US, I would be constantly cringing if I had to see this ad campaign every day.
It's like instead of lifting her tits into the corset she's tucked her nipples into the corset.

It's amazing. Fucking trolls. And also fucking women's magazines for no longer having embroidery patterns.
I have fond memories of that magazine. As a preteen in the late 60s, I actually looked forward to going with my mother to visit her aunt every few months. While they talked in the kitchen in hushed tones about adult subjects - who was having marital issues, fertility issues, menopause etc. - I'd be sitting quietly in…
