Do you dress your top or bottom part first when getting dressed in the morning? Tried getting dressed the other way round this morning and it felt really odd. Just a lighthearted question for fun instead of doom and gloom.

Husband is usually enjoying Radio4 without interruptions.!

Not sure what you’re on about Rufus no performance from me my ablutions take about 15 minutes max
Don’t have anyone watching either, just me
Sounds as if you’re the one ‘performing’ Rufus poor carers do they get ‘damage to eyes’ pay-scale ?
Haha thongs in U.K. are ‘cheese cutter’ knickers

SirChenjin Mon 02-Mar-20 10:55:45

I think thongs are flip flops in Oz grin

Bottom half winter and summer.Same procedure if I have stripped for a shower later on.

Pants, bra, vest/cami-top, tights, trousers, jumper. Then I’m ready for makeup and jewellery.

polnan Mon 02-Mar-20 16:44:11

knickers, always first. then sort of .. bra or trousers, or socks.

Shower, then Knickers. Depending upon how cold it is, I then use deodorant, put on Bra. If wearing trousers, treat feet to either pedicure type cream, or a quick rub on hard skin areas, followed by smoothing /moisturising cream before donning tights, then a top, Trousers and jumper or cardigan. Last touches, - brush teeth, brush and comb hair, add perfume and jewellery if going out.

Knickers, bra, t-shirt, socks, jeans, jumper. Dressing gown on while making my way to bathroom on getting out of bed to avoid distress to any innocent passers-by!

kathyd Mon 02-Mar-20 17:15:29

I seem to be the only one who puts mysocks on first, but I don't wear them every day.
Socks, knickers, jeans, bra, top/s.

Theoddbird Mon 02-Mar-20 17:16:40

Knickers first. It would feel odd to put bra on first. I can't remember ever doing that...

grandtanteJE65 Mon 02-Mar-20 17:30:52

Top first for me always, both in the morning and after taking a shower.

HillyN Mon 02-Mar-20 17:39:09

After a shower I'm with annodomini - socks first, then work my way up. But if I'm strip-washing on a cold morning, then I keep my pyjama bottoms on, wash face, hands and armpits, use deodorant and dress my top half, then wash and dress the bottom half!

Kim19 Mon 02-Mar-20 18:29:04

I'm with annepl in that I'm straight from shower to my lovely bedroom fan heater. Bliss. Think I mostly do top first but it can vary.

moobox Mon 02-Mar-20 18:36:22

I always clean the house from the top downwards even if I am short of time and expecting a visitor to the downstairs

allule Mon 02-Mar-20 19:01:50

Right sock first, as arthritis makes this such a painful manoeuvre that I like to get it over with!

Joesoap Mon 02-Mar-20 19:51:26

Definately bottom part first. I dont think I could do it the other way round after all these years.A creature of habit,thats me.

Abuelana Mon 02-Mar-20 21:30:50

Nic’s
bra (looking out of bedroom window) were not overlooked
Socks / tights
Bottom or dress
Top
Heaven help if I change it I get all missed up

Merryweather Mon 02-Mar-20 21:39:19

I do shower, pants, bra, top, socks if I’m wearing any then trousers or skirt.
Makeup, hair and teeth done between mascara coats drying. 20/25 min done. Unless I’m having a bad day then it’s my partner who helps or I stay put if it’s really bad.
I guess I’m an odd one though!

Mollygo Mon 02-Mar-20 22:14:17

Shower, pants, jeans, bra, camisole, top. Socks last if I’m wearing them. Teeth , makeup, hair.
I used to be able to do the lot in 15 mins, but it’s more like 25 now.

Seefah Mon 02-Mar-20 22:46:25

I was completely taken aback by Rufus2 and the thong! I thought crikey thats racy.
When I read thongs are flip flops ?? I almost choked on my coffee laughing.
As for dressing knickers quick and trousers before DH sees the two great white end of winter moons. In June when I have a tanned bottom I might hang around a bit longer lol but always bottom then up !

SirChenjin Mon 02-Mar-20 23:14:55

A tanned bottom??! You racy thing, you grin

Evie64 Mon 02-Mar-20 23:46:45

Knickers, trousers, then bra and top and lastly shoes. When I get home from work the first thing to come off is the shoes and the bra!

jaylucy Tue 03-Mar-20 10:31:41

Shower, knickers first, then bra (that's after body lotion has been applied and moisturiser to face) then tops followed by trousers this time of the year a)because it's warmer that way and b) because I can then tuck my vest/tshirt inside my trousers!
