My first choice for partnering with a purple cardigan would be a grey. However, depending on the shade of purple, you could also use a navy. White and black are also safe choices, but again, it depends on the shade of purple.

How many yards do you need to make a skirt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the style of the skirt. A snug mini-skirt, for example, uses much less fabric than one of those full circle skirts that comes down past your knees and billows out around your waist when you spin in a circle.

The best way to figure this out is to find a pattern for the specific skirt that you want. Each pattern has a table telling you how much fabric you need.

You can see a table that summarizes data from hundreds of patterns on this blog: http://afterthedress.blogspot.com. Look for the skirt link in the right hand column, near the top of the page.

Good luck!

How much did a mini skirt cost in the 1960?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on which stores you go to shop for them.

I'd say about $10 bucks or less in the thrift shops and in the more wealthy stores it be about $15 bucks.

Take Forever 21 for example. Now that's a welathy store with pricey labels on there clothing.

But in thrift shops you get them for a bargain but also you have to wash them first before wearing them and i am sure you know that. lol

Why do the apostolic church wear long skirts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1 Timothy 2:9 "Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire." Apostolic women choose to dress modestly by wearing skirts for two main reasons. One, slacks, despite how loose or form-fitting they are still show more of the contours of the body than a skirt would. Skirts are inherently more modest for this reason. I believe the second reason is drawn from another verse.

“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God." People are quick to point out that long ago when these verses were written men's and women's garments both resembled those of long dresses, despite the fact that there were still differences between them. However, it is firmly believed by Christians that God's word is final and does not ever become outdated. It's actually quite simple, according to our culture today it is not "standard" to see a man in a dress. Men wear pants because that is what society deems a man's garment. Our social norms tell us that skirts are for women, therefore by wearing skirts, apostolic women are strictly wearing a woman's garment. So apostolic women choose to wear skirts for both modesty and obedience to God's word.

What color do Quinceanera dresses have to be?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually, white quinceanera dresses are used for wedding by some brides. Besides, sweet 16 dresses can be made in different colors. Any color is okay with you as long as you like. It is better for you to take your eye color, and skin tone. I think Red is perfect for girls.

Why does your girlfriend wear a thong under a really mini skirt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends. If she wants to wear one to show off her "stuff", I would say no. But if it is for something like panty lines, that's different, I'd say yes. Just tell her to make sure it does not show (don't want to look trampy).
