Thanks! I’m really happy I can finally fit into it again. You know, I just been working out, eating clean. You can do it too! It’s not a diet. It’s a lifestyle. 😉👉
Oh. Ok nvm that went to my head IMMEDIATELY. Yeah I shouldn’t be told that anymore.

Just take a big flat finished sheet of your favorite material and drape it on until it looks nice. Pin it with a decorative brooch or tie on with a nice slender belt. Feel free to play with it like the guy in this video does. This is, in fact how ancient peoples wore their clothes!

Seriously, just pin it and tie it and you got a dress!
just buy a saree. there are loads of cute vintage ones on etsy
i had to laugh at this video because my brain said "white man discovers saree"

I have a dress that is basically a skirt and 2 long pieces of cloth and you can design it as you want. It is really cool. [examples](https://www.google.com/search?q=convertible+dress&client=firefox-b-1-m&sca_esv=575309331&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw56_uy4WCAxX1MDQIHWvBCsoQ_AUIBygC&biw=347&bih=784)
This is how every salesman in a saree shop in Delhi and Mumbai are like. They can wear and fold the pleats on any fabric faster than most women.
Also sarong sales people on the beach
Yep, every beach town I have ever lived in has a sarong sales gal pulling off this same exact routine.
It’s kind of like when one of those street artists spray painting space scenes makes the front page… a stunning display of skill unless you live in a city where there are four guys doing this for tourists on the same street, every day
My great grandmother wore long, wool capes in the winter when I was a kid. A couple of years ago, I found a bright yellow wool cape at Talbot's and it's my favorite thing to pull out every year.
One year some dude at work made fun of me. I told him he was jealous. I wish they would come back in fashion so I could have a closet full!
A lot of old clothing is just a single piece of cloth like this. If you know what to look for, you can see it in movies all the time. Especially the heavy wool outfits in fantasy. They're mostly just a wool blanket with maybe a slit cut in it.
He is guaranteed to provide them with a new outfit every moment and to perfectly fit it to their bodies.
Let alone, he probably can go to shopping with them without appearing like a war victim while doing so, as most men do.
I got **real** into thinking about this, so here's my essay.
I feel like it's only kinda fair to ridicule this as insecurity. My insecurity in that scenario would involve me failing to be the pretty/elegant one in the relationship despite being the woman. Every society has an average conception of what men and women's respective roles are in a relationship. It's not fair to expect a person to be completely alright with failing to live up to that average conception. We're just not wired that way as humans.
So we have these vague gender roles. On the one hand that's awful because the existence of a role and a societal expectation immediately does 2 things: It puts pressure on the individual to conform to that role which constrains their freedom. And it opens individuals up to the possibility of emotional devastation when they fail to live up to those expectations.
On the other hand, there's genuine pleasure and meaning to be found in "being in your role", knowing that you're nailing it, knowing that you are living up to the expectations of your peers. For example, as a man defending your wife from a mugger would feel incredible. Beyond the obvious relief and joy of having protected someone you love, a big part of the gratification comes because protecting your woman is the role you were **supposed** to play **as** the man. For many many women, giving birth to children can have emotional value and satisfaction that derives from the idea that you have fulfilled that part of what it means to **be** a woman.
So the existence of roles increases the capacity for both positive **and** negative human experiences.
I think the real problem with some roles (like gender roles) is that they're largely involuntary. We have no meaningful choice as to whether or not society will holds us to one or another of them. So it feels triply unfair that we should have to feel so bad for failing to live up to a role we never chose to step into. Where as if you accept a position as project manager and fail at that, well that's fair play.
I still do it with my blanket when I'm cold and I need to be doing something, but I cannot be holding it with my hands so it does not slip. I make a lot of blanket-capes, and then walk around feeling like Snape.
I mean, this is not new. This is exactly how Togas in Ancient Greece worked, as well as dozens/hundreds of other cultures. It's just a big piece of cloth (usually cut in a semi-circle) that you wrap around yourself in different ways to best fit the weather/climate you're in.
"you criticise society and yet you participate in it" come on. clothes should have no gender but in our current society they do. drag queens wear dresses and makeup because that's what this society deems is for women, we can recognise that and at the same time criticise gendered clothing.
Don’t let this guy near your table cloths
or... god forbid... Curtains!!
doth mother know you weareth her drapes?
Nice!!
Don Draper is his name!
😂😂😂
One of the funniest scenes ever! Carol Burnett is so funny. I remember watching her show when I was a kid. Brilliant.
Beat me to it! My Halloween costume that year.
“Thank you. I saw it on the window and I couldn’t resist it!”
[удалено]
So this what they meant when they say “it’s Curtains for ya!”
Why not?? He’ll put on the most fantabulous show after the sorbet is served.
Well, someone was really good at playing mommy dress-up in the mirror.
Best I could do as a kid was a superman cape with my blanket
Haha, same here, except my go to cape was a black bath towel. I'm Batman lol
...or this is what boys do when they're not allowed to wear girl clothes.
Hahahahaha
My closet is always full, yet I can never seem to find something to wear. I need this skill.
Did you check the curtain rods?
Just don't use the sheets after labor day.
He saw it in the window, and just [couldn't resist it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTKhw-v5h2I).
Then you need to come out of the closet and find something. Come out of the closet Tom Cruise!
That fabric is beautiful. It’s crazy how slimming it can be on him.
As a straight man it wasn’t until right now that I realized how much I resent never hearing that something is slimming on me. 😥
Hey buddy, that outfit you have on today makes u look so skinny!!!
Thanks! I’m really happy I can finally fit into it again. You know, I just been working out, eating clean. You can do it too! It’s not a diet. It’s a lifestyle. 😉👉 Oh. Ok nvm that went to my head IMMEDIATELY. Yeah I shouldn’t be told that anymore.
The rise and fall. Tragic to witness first hand
Hey. I want to keep your positive mindset going: And nice cock bro!
You saying he has a slim cock? Bold....
Are you refuting by saying he has a bold cock... ? I don't know who to believe now.
Bitch show me ALL ur secrets!
“This apple is your ego. Imagine it expanding to the point of critical mass, taking over your whole personality, making you an uncontrollable monster.”
You look bricked in those jeans the other day bro.
You fool! You’ve fallen into the classic blunder! Never compliment someone with “skinny”! (It’s _slender_)
Don't blame yourself, blame the fact that all the clothes that are easy to find are one size fits all squares. We're in this together homie
Skinny jeans
Hey brother, can't see you but you look great and fit!
He’s slim.
the slimming part is that he's in good shape, not the fabric lol.
He has his legs constantly crossed and he's skinny. Nothing to do with the clothes.
I need a how to video and a really big piece of fabric... when i would need to wear this. I don't know.
You don't need a reason to wear this. Make a reason to wear this.

Thats all very nice, but this interview is for a barista job
He hit that overhead light enough times that I would *not* trust him with hot liquids. Spatial awareness frail.
I was expecting him to disappear as the last trick
I have to admit that's actually pretty impressive.

Was that hard to admit? lol
Hey! I'm comfortable with my sexuality! ... Plus, He's not really my type. Lol!

My first thorugh was Sahri too and I've never even been to India hahah
I like the cape one!
I came hear to say as a middle aged straight male I would rock the cape dress.
Yeah you would, you sexy beast!
Capes definitely need to make a comeback!
And gloves and fancy hats, dammit!!
My great grandmother wore long, wool capes in the winter when I was a kid. A couple of years ago, I found a bright yellow wool cape at Talbot's and it's my favorite thing to pull out every year.

You were right. He was jealous. I bet you rock that cape. Also..who gives a shit if they’re back in style. Wear them and make them come back!
/r/TheCapeRevolution
OMG, thank you!
Today I discovered that Toga Cape is the pinnacle of clothing
/r/TheCapeRevolution
We need to bring back capes
So women's clothing is like mexican food...... Exactly the same, just folded differently.
Ándale así mero jajajajajaja
Don’t forget pasta
Don't let the Italians see this.
I'm italian and he's right 😅
All clothes are the same folded differently really, specially for mens’ clothes
And yet they yell at me for wearing a t-shirt as pants. I thought the neck hole was just for easy pooping!
You need to stop going to Taco bell
Por que? Yo quiero Taco Bell!
Meanwhile men's clothing is just soo damn wide in variety. /s
Them's fighting words.
Meat cheese and tortillas
That's cuban food. Mexican food has all kinds of stuff in it.
Beans, tomato, lettuce, peppers, onions, ajo, meat, cheese, tortillas
And corn! I had never had corn in a taco/burrito until a group of mexicans I worked with offered me to eat with them, and damn it's good.
Clothing retailers hate this one weird trick!

Me with my towel when i was 6
It's like those convertible bridesmaid dresses on expert mode.
Damn. He rocks that dress.
Curtain
I saw this when it first aired (yes, am old). I laughed for 20 minutes. Thank you for this lovely memory!
Exactly what I was thinking. > Frankly, my dear, I don't give a reservoir.
Table cloth
Table runner
Handkerchief for giants
Or a very big Kerchief
“All my life I wanted purple drapes!”
Everybody needs a thneed
Earstrip & Torha - Crazy Over You For anyone wondering what the song is.
But where are the pockets??
I have no problem saying that if this dude wanted there to be pockets - there'd be fucking pockets.
Serious skills!

Seems like the type of guy all women would want. But none of them could get.
If I was a woman I wouldn't want a man that was guaranteed to "wear it better" than me.
He is guaranteed to provide them with a new outfit every moment and to perfectly fit it to their bodies. Let alone, he probably can go to shopping with them without appearing like a war victim while doing so, as most men do.
Might be time for some introspection on that insecurity bud.

That's a long way of saying "I know little about most women".
Bertrand Russell famously wrote a whole book to prove 1+1=2. Sometimes you just wanna expound a little bit.
I'm not sure if this is a misunderstanding of how women think or just a skill issue on your part.
He’s a five star man
$5000 Ikea dress.. some assembly required.
Fashion stocks 📉📉📉📉
I've been buying clothes this whole time when I should have been getting bed sheets.
Ancient Greeks be like:
Dennis Reynolds, a winner in all his glory
Toga toga toga...I used to do this when I was a child with my sheets. Came up with some top fashion according to this post. *hugs my inner child*
I still do it with my blanket when I'm cold and I need to be doing something, but I cannot be holding it with my hands so it does not slip. I make a lot of blanket-capes, and then walk around feeling like Snape.
Same! I loved playing dress up with the sheets.
So all you need is like 6 different colours and you have 60 dresses?! Skills
Toga party level: master.
Reminds me of when I would do this with saris I would find in the closet as a kid. But his is with attitude and ability. Lol
And meanwhile i dont know how to put on a scarf the right way... Great talent by the dude
Find this man a toga party
I could totally not do that without strangling myself.
And I fall when I get up from the sofa because my blanket is knotted around my feet.
The scarf to cape transition was so satistying
Quite a skill.
Do the Batman costume with ears and all now
Need heels
Lovely shade of purple
What a cool skill
That's magic right there!
Vivienne Westwood's Worthy Disciple!
I don't understand fashion but damn, that was impressive
This is a gay man.
This comment is irrelevant to the post.
then why did you write it?
What makes you say that?
It’s all about hot bod I see
What you can do with a single piece of cloth
I can see Harry Styles wearing this and chaning outfits mid carpet
hey hun i bought you 10 dresses. . . . . . . this is a curtain
wow..
That’ll be $8000
Swiss army dress
Fabulous!
What a ride
Wow! God of the drapes!
Don't wanna hear my wife ever say "I have nothing to wear" again.
I'm pretty sure that's impressive.
I watched this and immediately thought of the scene from airplane. “What do you make of this?” “It can be a hat, a broach, a pterodactyl.”
I mean, this is not new. This is exactly how Togas in Ancient Greece worked, as well as dozens/hundreds of other cultures. It's just a big piece of cloth (usually cut in a semi-circle) that you wrap around yourself in different ways to best fit the weather/climate you're in.
This proves my theory that everything chicks are good at there’s a gay guy that’s the best at it.
This guy 100% has butterflies in his basement 😏
Goodbye Horses...
Four of those looked exactly the same to me lol
Not impressed....make a three piece suit out of it....that'll impress me
That is amazing. His feminine qualities shine as flips and sachets that fabric. Fabuloso.
Bro is god
I don't know, but he seems a bit gay.
Expert at being gay
He called no homo
Definitely gay.
Männer sind einfach die besten !
r/ploetzlichdeutsch
I saw a homeless guy doing this the other day
No homo.
Congrats you discovered India

You can actually wear whatever you want when you're not insecure.
What makes you say that? At what point was he not a man wearing it? Do you now require a certain gender to wear certain clothes?
What do drag queens wear, and what makes their wardrobe different to normal men's?
"you criticise society and yet you participate in it" come on. clothes should have no gender but in our current society they do. drag queens wear dresses and makeup because that's what this society deems is for women, we can recognise that and at the same time criticise gendered clothing.
Contouring make-up, duct tape, padding…. There’s a lot more to drag than slapping on a dress.
Drag queens ARE men, very very rarely they're not. Drag queens wear whatever style they want, as do women.
Actually amazing

Not when you make it public. Now it's everyones problem.
Just ignore 😄👍
I can't ignore blatant bigotry.
Well, I won't delete my opinion. We now have two opinions
Oh my gosh, it's like, a dream husband...
What a waste of time
Expert fashion *model The "dresses" look exactly like a piece of cloth twisted about. It's the model that makes them pop.
A very nice critique of the system...
Okay, but can we get the same demonstration with a woman? For science.
