Just bra and panties today - doing some solo housework. They are matching from M&S though....
Bedtime naked.
What decade were your grandparents born?
I’m asking what you put on when you know that you’re not going out and no one is coming round! I have four loose midi cotton dresses with thin straps, and that’s it. No underwear, just one garment. A clean one every day, but it’s certainly cut down on the washing. It’s not a pretty sight but I’m as cool as is possible. I also keep a spray bottle in the fridge full of water and some 4711 cologne, remember that? Spray face and arms. Cold shower before bed and no nightie.

Bedtime naked.
Vest top and shorts knickers underneath usually a bra but sometimes not. At night a sleeveless nightie. I’m on holiday in Turkey at the moment so inside the villa with the A/C. Other family have gone on a boat trip but I hate boats so having a peaceful day on my own
I have three long thin cotton crinkly Indian skirts. I bought them about 30 years ago in Romford market. They are the type that you roll into a sausage shape and tie in a knot and store them like that to keep the crinkles in. I wear them indoors pulled down to the waist with no underwear on. If I go out the garden I’ll pull them up to under my armpits. If anyone knocks at the door I quickly pop a top on. I would not go out in them, because the slightest breeze and they would be over my head!
So far today I have been wearing bra, pants, socks, long black trousers, long-sleeved shirt, bee suit, wellies and gauntlets. All at the same time. The honey has to be harvested! Now off for a cold shower and a kaftan.
Loose cotton dress and knickers and sandals,went out like this today, but home for 11am, I have a heart condition so am careful
As little as possible I've a kimono on today as I had a food shop delivered no underwear I only wear a bra outside the house Even the dog knows I'm going out out when he sees the bra go on lol
Always just a smile!

Esspee, is that all?!
I do have a smile on my face.
I'm sure I would too! In another lifetime we went to a nudist camp in the former Yugoslavia. It certainly was an eye-opener with all these German people sitting at the bar chatting and JOGGING naked lol. I'm so glad I had some crazy adventure in my life.
A loose dresses in varying lengths and flip-flops. Some of the badly wrinkled ones are in the ironing basket, but they can sit there til it cools down cos I'm not standing with an iron in that heat.
I wear a pair of cropped legged linen dungarees, no underwear and no make up, put conditioner on my hair for the day as it’s quite dry - I look like an aged disreputable Huckleberry Finn !! ?
All week I've been wearing a blue dress from Tesco which I picked up last summer. It's cotton with patch pockets at the front, long sleeved with elasticated cuffs. Slightly too short as just above the knee, but it's the coolest thing I have at the mo. Other days it's usually a cotton skirt and t shirt.

Always underwear, although I find a bralette much more comfortable than a bra. I find l keep much cooler in a cotton skirt and t shirt or dress. I have the world's worst legs as I have lipoedema so have not possessed a pair of shorts for years. However, the other day I had been wearing leggings under a shorter dress and when I got home l told my husband that it was too hot for the leggings and he would have to put up with my legs
I also have lipoedema and have to wear full length compression stockings every day. Not good in hot weather! I wear trousers all tge time or occasionally a maxi dress.
Knickers, shorts, strappy top with built in bra.
Pair of canvas slip on shoes
Hair up, no make up.
Let’s hope the doorbell doesn’t ring.
At the moment I am at home wearing knickers and a long sleeveless cotton T Shirt.
As long as I am in the shade I seem to be fine even if the temperature is high.
It’s cold I can’t cope with.
Bra and pants - over the head dress hanging in the hall in case of door bell being rung. Outside - baggy printed trousers and light t shirt. Reading group coming round this afternoon - sitting in breezy shade - neat armhole sleeveless (remember Biba) jersey flare dress.
Great selection of 4711 on Amazon for those not averse to using them.
Is that all Esspee?
Sleeveless top, loose skirt and def no underwear, bra and pants to hand in case of fire or emergency!
Bare feet too.
4711 cologne is an essential part of hot weather aids. I recently went into Boots and Superdrug where they no longer sell it. I could always get it in Boots before. Superdrug had never ever heard of it, was amazed, I thought it was the No 1 go to cologne. We used to get it sent out to Singapore in the 1960’s when we were living there. Thank fully still available online.
I wear as little as possible in the clothing department, and only cotton or linen. In the house, usually shorts and bikini top only. Or a sarong which is wafty and cool.
I have loads of cheap cotton pyjamas - no need to iron. Nothing on my feet.
Today though I have the pots to water in the front, so cotton shorts and silk sleeveless top with underwear. Just for common decency you understand?

Can anyone shed light on where they bought cotton kaftans?
Does anyone else find swimming costumes hot? I hate sitting in mine in hot weather.
Yes, swimsuits are hot.
Northern Ireland actually hot today. Wearing shorts, bikini top, bare feet. Will not do any unnecessary tasks until cool evening.
As little as is decently possible.
I bought a couple of djellabas while in Morocco and they have saved me... long flowing cotton tents that keep me super cool. I can wash them in the sink at night and they are dry by the morning! I urge everyone to get a cheap cotton djellaba, it may hang around doing 'not a lot' but suddenly they are heros
I don't tend to wear anything for the first hour or so of the day as I potter about feeding the cats & getting the day sorted. We live down a very long farm drive & have no neighbours! Then it's a sleeveless linen dress, nothing else when I'm at home but I add a pair of knickers if I'm going out. I rarely wear a bra anyway as I have costochondritis which feels like I'm wearing a tight fitting bra all the day, it's not nice. I don't wear shoes at home but pop a pair of Fitflops on if I'm off out. I wear a sunhat in the garden but not if I'm going somewhere as it's a bit battered, like me. I suppose I should buy another.
Like the sound of the kaftans- where can I get one please?
Loose strappy dress and knickers. Occasionally denim shorts with an elasticated waist and a loose vest top, I have one top in particular that is flared and has an abstract floral pattern that hides the absence of a bra. Very occasionally in the garden I wear a strapless tube top with shorts, but best to avoid a sweaty waistband as going to the loo is such a struggle!
